Anomalous flux quantization in a Hubbard ring with correlated hopping

arXiv:cond-mat/9510033 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.76.4396

Abstract

We solve exactly a generalized Hubbard ring with twisted boundary conditions. The magnitude of the nearest-neighbor hopping depends on the occupations of the sites involved and the term which modifies the number of doubly occupied sites . Although -pairing states with off-diagonal long-range order are part of the degenerate ground state, the behavior of the energy as a function of the twist rules out superconductivity in this limit. A small breaks the degeneracy and for moderate repulsive introduce superconducting correlations which lead to ``anomalous'' flux quantization. PACS numbers: 74.20Mn, 71.27.+a, 71.30+h, 71.28.+d
