In this paper we show the existence of eta -pairing and off-diagonal long-range order (ODLRO) in the ground state of an extended Hubbard model with N up arrow -N down arrow =1, where N up arrow and N down arrow are the occupation numbers of up and down spins, for connected bipartite lattices.
We consider N-particle generalizations of $\ensuremath{\eta}$-pairing states in a chain of N-component fermions and show that these states are exact (high-energy) eigenstates of an extended SU(N) Hubbard model. We compute the singlet correlation function of the states and find that its behavior is qualitatively different for even and odd N. When N is even, these states exhibit off-diagonal long-range order in N-particle reduced density matrix. On the other hand, when N is odd, the correlations decay exponentially with distance in the bulk, but end-to-end correlations do not vanish in the thermodynamic limit. Finally, we prove that these states are the unique ground states of suitably tailored Hamiltonians.
The introduction of non-Hermiticity has greatly enriched the research field of traditional condensed matter physics and eventually led to a series of discoveries of exotic phenomena. We investigate the effect of non-Hermitian imaginary hoppings on the Hubbard model. The exact bound-pair solution shows that the electron-electron correlation suppresses the non-Hermiticity, resulting in off-diagonal long-range order (ODLRO) ground state in the attractive Hubbard model. In a large U limit, such non-Hermiticity contributes an extra minus sign in the virtual exchange of the particles. As a consequence, the energy of the effective spin model describing the behavior of the ground state and low energy excitations will be reversed. The corresponding ground state experiences a transition from antiferromagnetism to ferromagnetism characterized by the appearance of a non-decaying correlation function. The numerical result indicates that the $\ensuremath{\eta}$-pairing ground state exits in 1D and 2D systems and is insensitive to the disorder. We further propose a protocol to adiabatically generate the $\ensuremath{\eta}$-pairing state. Our results provide a promising approach for the non-Hermitian strongly correlated system.
