SO(4) Symmetry and Off-Diagonal Long-Range Order in the Hubbard Bilayer

Shi Yu

Published Jul 30, 1997• 1 citation

Abstract

Yang's η pairing operator is generalized to explore off-diagonal long-range order in the Hubbard bilayer with an arbitrary chemical potential. With this operator and a constraint condition on annihilation and creation operators, we construct explicitly eigenstates which possess simultaneously three kinds of off-diagonal long-range order, i.e., the intralayer one and the interlayer one for on-site pairing, and that for interlayer nearest-neighbor pairing. As in the simple Hubbard model there is also an SO(4) symmetry, with the generators properly defined. A sufficient condition leads to at least one of the above three kinds of off-diagonal long-range order. A constraint relation among different kinds of off-diagonal long-range order is also given. There exists a triplet of collective modes if the U(1) symmetry of a subgroup is spontaneously broken.

Exact interlayer triplet-pairing eigenstates in the extended Hubbard model

F. X. Liu, Z. Song

$η$-pairing symmetry generalizes the pairing mechanisms in superconductivity but is broken in the presence of interlayer interactions. In this work, we extend this approach to triplet pairs. We propose interlayer triplet-pairing operators for the multi-layer extended Hubbard model. We find that a set of exact condensate-pair eigenstates can be constructed, which exhibit off-diagonal long-range order. In contrast to the $η$-pairing mechanism, this originates from restricted spectrum generating algebra and is only available for bilayer and trilayer systems in the presence of interlayer Hubbard interactions. Nevertheless, the system also retains the original on-site $η$-pairing symmetry in the absence of interlayer interactions. Consequently, both singlet and triplet pairs coexist in the eigenstates of the multi-layer Hubbard model. We employ quench dynamics to demonstrate the results through numerical simulations. Our findings open avenues for the study of exact condensate-pair states in strongly correlated systems.

η pairing and off-diagonal long-range order in a Hubbard model

Chen Ning Yang

It is shown in a simple Hubbard model that through a mechanism called \ensuremath{\eta} pairing one can construct many eigenstates of the Hamiltonian possessing off-diagonal long-range order. The intrapair distance is small. It is shown that these eigenstates are metastable and possess an energy gap.

Symplectic symmetry of Hubbard model and η pairing

Chunyan Sun, B. F. Li, Z. S. Li

By means of symplectic group Sp(2M), the symplectic symmetry of the Hubbard model and the η pairing are investigated to approach the eigenstates which have the largest spin multiplicities. The behavior of the off-diagonal long-range order of these eigenstates is examined by the criterion proposed by Yang and the energy diagram of the corresponding eigenvalues is elucidated by the η pairing mechanism. A basis set which is expressible in terms of η and ηa pairings is proposed.

Spin and Pairing Algebras and ODLRO in a Hubbard Model

M. Pernici

The states of a simple Hubbard model fall into representations of the su (2) spin algebra and of an su (2) pairing algebra. A half-filled band momentum eigenstate has off-diagonal long-range order (ODLRO) if it belongs to an irreducible representation with pairing spin η > ( N - s )/3, N being the number of lattice sites and s the spin of the representation.

Generalized η-pairing eigenstates in three-component Hubbard models under a transverse field

F. X. Liu, Z. Song

We investigate three-component Hubbard models on a bipartite lattice in the presence of a trans?verse field. Unlike the two-component Hubbard model, where the η-pairing symmetry survives the transverse field, the three-component model possesses neither η-pairing symmetry nor conservation of the particle number of each component. We introduce a generalized η-pairing operator, formed as a hybridization of three types of two-component pairing operators, and employ the restricted spectrum-generating algebra to construct a family of exact eigenstates. These eigenstates exhibit off-diagonal long-range order. Furthermore, we construct an exact tensor-product state whose co?herent periodic dynamics provide an exact realization of quantum many-body scar dynamics while simultaneously exhibiting long-range magnetic order. We also propose three protocols for preparing this state via quench dynamics, and verify their effectiveness through numerical simulations.

SO(4) Symmetry of the Hubbard Model and its Experimental Consequences

Shoucheng Zhang

The one band Hubbard model on a bi-partite lattice possess a global SO(4) symmetry group which is a direct product of the spin SU(2) and the pseudospin SU(2) symmetry group. Recently, the group theorectical consequence of this symmetry property has been investigated systematically. It is shown that this symmetry property can be used to reduce the complexity of diagonalizing the Hubbard Hamiltonian, and classify all the eigenstates according to the representation of the SO(4) group. It also leads to an exact one-to-one corespondence of the eigenstates at half-filling to that away from half-filling. Most importantly however, it is shown that this symmetry property leads to a direct experimental prediction for the high Tc superconductivity. If the high Tc superconductivity is correctly described by the Hubbard model, then the SO(4) symmetry dictates the existence of a collective mode that only appears below the superconducting transition temperature. Such a mode can be detected in an electron energy loss experiment as a sharp resonance feature. The location of the peak measure the parameters in the Hubbard model, the intensity is proportional to the superconducting order parameter and the width measures the departure of the Hubbard model from reality.
