GLOBAL AND GAUGE SYMMETRIES OF THE HUBBARD MODEL
Elisa Ercolessi, G. Morandi, F. Ortolani
A remarkable global SO(4) symmetry of the Hubbard model, when there is on the average one electron per site (“weak” half-filling condition) has been recently uncovered by Yang and Zhang. We discuss here its relationship to the SU(2) gauge symmetry of the model that holds when there is exactly one electron per site (“strong” half-filling condition) as well as its possible generalizations to lattice structures more general than those considered by Yang and Zhang.
