A finite temperature version of the Nagaoka--Thouless theorem in the $\mathrm{SU}(n)$ Hubbard model

Abstract

The Aizenman--Lieb theorem for the $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ Hubbard model expands upon the Nagaoka--Thouless theorem for the ground state to encompass finite temperatures. It can be succinctly stated that the magnetization $m(\beta ,b)$ of the system in the presence of a field $b$ surpasses the pure paramagnetic value $m_0(\beta ,b)=\tanh (\beta b)$. In this manuscript, we present an extension of the Aizenman--Lieb theorem to the $\mathrm{SU}(n)$ Hubbard model. Our proof relies on a random-loop representation of the partition function, which becomes accessible when expressing the partition function in terms of path integrals.
