PRELIMINARY GROUP ANALYSIS OF A 4 X 4 TWO DIMENSIONAL HUBBARD MODEL

Abstract

A finite size two-dimensional Hubbard model is considered; it is shown that the consideration of the spatial symmetry group of the Hamiltonian reduces the dimension of the problem of two orders of magnitude in the case of a 4 X 4 lattice. Exact diagonalization of the Hamiltonian can then be performed with the aid of modern high-speed computers.
