Generalized hole-particle transformations and spin reflection positivity in multi-orbital systems

Abstract

We propose a scheme combining spin reflection positivity and generalized hole-particle and orbital transformations to characterize the symmetry properties of the ground state for some correlated electron models on bipartite lattices. In particular, we rigorously determine at half-filling and for different regions of the parameter space the spin, orbital and $\hat{I}\cdot$ pairing pseudospin of the ground state of generalized two-orbital Hubbard models which include the Hund's rule coupling.
