Abstract
In this work we propose a method to treat the spin fluctuations in itinerant ferromagnets. It is able to do calculation with a convergent series. The slave fermion method is applied to separate the charge (denoted by fermions) and spin (denoted by bosons) degrees of freedom. The spin operators are then replaced by the Schwinger boson fields. This way, the interaction term in the model can be reduced to a very simple form and can be teated without difficulty. Finally the equations of motion are derived in order to obtain the forms of Green's functions of fermions and bosons. The result is applied to the calculation of resistivity as a function temperature.
