Using the Bethe ansatz method, the zero frequency contribution (Drude weight) to the spin current correlations is analyzed for the easy plane antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model. The Drude weight is a monotonically decreasing function of temperature for all 0Δ1; it approaches the zero temperature value with a power law and appears to vanish for all finite temperatures at the isotropic Δ = 1 point.
