Ground state and excitations of a four-component fermion model

You‐Quan Li, Guan-Shan Tian, Michael Ma, Hai-Qing Lin

Abstract

The properties of the ground state and excitations of a four-component Hubbard-like model are studied by the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis approach. It is proven rigorously that the ground state of the model is nondegenerate and excitations are gapless at all band fillings.

Antiferromagnetism and spin waves in the Hubbard model at half-filling

Guang-Shan Tian

For a localized quantum spin system, such as the Heisenberg model, one believes that the collective excitations will be gapless if the ground state is antiferromagnetic, by the spin-wave theory. The author uses some rigorous results of Lieb (1989) and shows that the above conclusion still holds for the Hubbard model at half-filling, which is an itinerant electron system.

Superconductivity and low energy excitations in an attractive Hubbard model

Yukimi Goto, Tohru Koma, Hironobu Yoshida

Abstract We study an attractive Hubbard model on bipartite lattices. In the grand canonical formalism, we prove the existence of superconducting long-range order in the ground state on Lieb lattices with the chemical potential corresponding to half filling. We also study the low-energy excitations above several ground states for the translationally invariant Hamiltonian. We prove the following: (i) The pairing excitations are gapless above the ground states when the number of fermions deviates from that of the half filling by the order of the volume. (ii) A certain class of single-fermion excitations shows a non-vanishing spectral gap above the ground state with an even number of fermions in a strong coupling and low-density regime.

Excitation gaps in the orbitally degenerate Hubbard model

Maria Emilia Amendola, Canio Noce

The excitation gaps for the two-orbital degenerate Hubbard model are investigated by applying a generalized version of Lieb's spin-reflection positivity. Combining the known exact results on the ground state, and making use of symmetry properties, we rigorously show that, at half-filling, the charge gaps are always larger than the spin-excitation gaps and properly defined orbital gaps.

The Hubbard model - an introduction and selected rigorous results

Hal Tasaki

The Hubbard model is a `highly oversimplified model' for electrons in a solid which interact with each other through extremely short-ranged repulsive (Coulomb) interaction. The Hamiltonian of the Hubbard model consists of two parts: which describes quantum mechanical hopping of electrons, and which describes non-linear repulsive interaction. Either or alone is easy to analyse, and does not favour any specific order. But their sum is believed to exhibit various non-trivial phenomena including metal-insulator transition, antiferromagnetism, ferrimagnetism, ferromagnetism, Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid, and superconductivity. It is believed that we can find various interesting `universality classes' of strongly interacting electron systems by studying the idealized Hubbard model. In the present article we review some mathematically rigorous results relating to the Hubbard model which shed light on the `physics' of this fascinating model. We mainly concentrate on the magnetic properties of the model in its ground states. We discuss the Lieb-Mattis theorem on the absence of ferromagnetism in one dimension, Koma-Tasaki bounds on the decay of correlations at finite temperatures in two dimensions, the Yamanaka-Oshikawa-Affleck theorem on low-lying excitations in one dimension, Lieb's important theorem for the half-filled model on a bipartite lattice, Kubo-Kishi bounds on the charge and superconducting susceptibilities of half-filled models at finite temperatures, and three rigorous examples of saturated ferromagnetism due to Nagaoka, Mielke, and Tasaki. We have tried to make the article accessible to non-experts by giving basic definitions and describing elementary materials in detail.
