THEOREM ON THE ONE-DIMENSIONAL INTERACTING-ELECTRON SYSTEM ON A LATTICE

Abstract

A theorem about the spin properties of the ground state and the ordering of the energy levels for different spins of an interacting-electron model including an arbitrary diagonal interacting potential, an antiferromagnetic exchange, and an electron pair-hopping term for particles on a one-dimensional lattice is stated and proved. We show that when the number of electrons N = 4n + 2 (n an integer) with periodic boundary conditions or N = 4n with antiperiodic boundary conditions, the ground state is a nondegenerate singlet. This theorem generalizes a similar theorem Lieb and Mattis proved for the one-dimensional interacting electron system.

Energy-level ordering in the one-dimensionalt-Jmodel: A rigorous result

Tao Xiang, N. d’Ambrumenil

Two theorems about the spin properties of the ground state and the ordering of the energy levels for different spins of the one-dimensional t-J model are stated and proved. It is shown that when the number of electrons N=4n+2 (n an integer) with periodic boundary conditions or N=4n with antiperiodic boundary conditions, the ground state is a nondegenerate singlet.

Ground state of a general electron-phonon Hamiltonian is a spin singlet

James K. Freericks, Élliott H. Lieb

The many-body ground state of a very general class of electron-phonon Hamiltonians is proven to contain a spin singlet (for an even number of electrons on a finite lattice). The phonons interact with the electronic system in two different ways; there is an interaction with the local electronic charge and there is a functional dependence of the electronic hopping Hamiltonian on the phonon coordinates. The phonon potential energy may include anharmonic terms, and the electron-phonon couplings and the hopping matrix elements may be nonlinear functions of the phonon coordinates. An attractive Hubbard-type on-site interaction may also be added. If the hopping Hamiltonian is assumed to have no phonon-coordinate dependence, then the ground state of a finite system is also shown to be unique, implying that there are no ground-state level crossings, and that the ground-state energy is an analytic function of the parameters in the Hamiltonian. In particular, in a finite system any self-trapping transition is a smooth crossover not accompanied by a nonanalytical change in the ground state. The spin-singlet theorem applies to the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model and both the spin-singlet and uniqueness theorems apply to the Holstein and attractive Hubbard models as special cases. These results hold in all dimensions---even on a general graph without periodic lattice structure.

Behavior of the Lieb-Mattis spin-degeneracy theorem with periodic boundary conditions

A.-C. Riiser, F. Ravndal

Numerical diagonalization of the one-dimensional Hubbard Hamiltonian describing interacting electrons on cyclic chains shows that the ground states do not always have the lowest possible spin multiplicity as expected from the Lieb-Mattis theorem. It is satisfied, however, when the chains are opened and have free boundary conditions.

Nonperturbative Approach to Luttinger's Theorem in One Dimension

Masanori Yamanaka, Masaki Oshikawa, Ian K. Affleck

The Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem for spin chains is generalized to a wide range of models of interacting electrons and localized spins on a one dimensional lattice. The existence of a low-energy state is generally proved except for special commensurate fillings where a gap may occur. Moreover, the crystal momentum of the constructed low-energy state is ${2k}_{F}$, where ${k}_{F}$ is the Fermi momentum of the noninteracting model, corresponding to Luttinger's theorem. For the Kondo lattice model, our result implies that ${k}_{F}$ must be calculated by regarding the localized spins as additional electrons.
