We develop an approach to describe antiferromagnetic magnons on a bipartite lattice supporting the Neel state using fractionalized degrees of freedom typically inherent to quantum spin liquids. In particular, we consider a long-range magnetically ordered state of interacting two-dimensional quantum spin-1/2 XY models using the Chern-Simons (CS) fermion representation of interacting spins. The interaction leads to Cooper instability and pairing of CS fermions, and to CS superconductivity which spontaneously violates the continuous U(1) symmetry generating a linearly dispersing gapless Nambu-Goldstone mode due to phase fluctuations. We evaluate this mode and show that it is in high-precision agreement with magnons of the corresponding Neel antiferromagnet irrespective to the lattice symmetry. Using the fermion formulation of the system with frustration, we show that the competing interactions emerge in the form of long-range interaction vertices mediated by the CS gauge field, which are responsible for restoring the continuous symmetry at sufficiently strong frustration. We identify these new interaction vertices and discuss their implications for unconventional phase transitions. We also apply the proposed theory to a model of anyons that can be tuned continuously from fermions to bosons, and discuss the results.
