Four-Point Hubbard Model and Conserved Quantities

Abstract
The spectrum of the half-filled four point Hubbard model with cyclic boundary conditions is calculated in Wannier and Bloch representation. The total number operator and total spin operator are conserved and spin-reversal symmetry exists. In Wannier representation we have additionally the C 4 v symmetry and in Bloch representation we have the total momentum operator wich is conserved. After group-theoretical reduction with respect to these symmetries, it is found that degeneracy still exists in some subspaces. From the theorem of von Neumann and Wigner we conjecture that there is a hidden symmetry. Since there is a Lax representation for the one-dimensional Hubbard model we conjecture that the hidden symmetry can be found from the Lax pair.
