Anisotropic classical Heisenberg models with all-to-all spin coupling display a topological nonconnectivity threshold (TNT) for any number N of spins. Below this threshold, the energy surface is disconnected in two components with positive and negative total magnetizations, respectively, so that magnetization cannot reverse its sign and ergodicity is broken, even at finite N. Here, we solve the model in the microcanonical ensemble, using a recently developed method based on large deviation techniques, and show that a phase transition is present at an energy higher than the TNT energy.
