We study the phase diagram and multicritical behavior of anisotropic
Heisenberg antiferromagnets on a square lattice in the presence of a magnetic
field along the easy axis. We argue that, beside the Ising and XY critical
lines, the phase diagram presents a first-order spin-flop line starting from
T=0, as in the three-dimensional case. By using field theory we show that the
multicritical point where these transition lines meet cannot be O(3) symmetric
and occurs at finite temperature. We also predict how the critical temperature
of the transition lines varies with the magnetic field and the uniaxial
anisotropy in the limit of weak anisotropy.
