Abstract;The properties of the ground-state phase transition near the saturation field are analyzed in the geometricallt frustrated Heisenberg antiferromagnet in an external magnetic field H. The quantum spin-1/2 kagome antiferromagnet is mapped to a hard hexagon gas on a triangular lattice. From the exact solution of the latter, a quantitative description of the magnetothermodynamics of the former. The phase diagram is obtained in the H-T plane, and the exact critical behavior is derived at the transition into a magnon crystal. The universal value of the entropy is calculated at the saturation field, and T- and H-dependence of the specific heat is clarified.
