Abstract
The ground-state phases of a one-dimensional SU(4) spin-orbital Hamiltonian in a generalized external field are studied on the basis of the Bethe-ansatz solution. Introducing three Land\'e g factors for spin, orbital, and their products in the SU(4) Zeeman term, we systematically discuss various symmetry breakings. The magnetization versus external field is evaluated by solving the Bethe-ansatz equations numerically. The phase diagrams corresponding to distinct residual symmetries are given by means of both numerical and analytical methods.
