Abstract
The ground-state wave function and energy of the Hubbard model with unlimited hopping can be obtained for arbitrary fillings using the transformation recently introduced by Brandt and Giesekus. A simple linear behavior is obtained for the ground-state energy dependence on the number of particles: ${\mathit{E}}_{\mathrm{GS}}$=-2t(L-N), where -t is the hopping energy (t>0), L is the number of sites, and N is the number of electrons. The ground state shows a very large total spin degeneracy. The system is shown to behave as a Fermi liquid with a spectral weight Z=1-N/L for all fillings less than 1 (N\ensuremath{\le}L).
