Abstract

The one-dimensional Hubbard model is known to possess an extended su(2) symmetry and to be integrable. I introduce an integrable model with an extended su(n) symmetry. This model contains the usual su(2) Hubbard model and has a set of features that makes it the natural su(n) generalization of the Hubbard model. Complete integrability is shown by introducing the L-matrix and showing that the transfer matrix commutes with the hamiltonian. While the model is integrable in one dimension, it provides a generalization of the Hubbard hamiltonian in any dimension.
