Contribution

It presents a new exactly solvable model incorporating correlated interactions and constructs explicit RVB ground states with long-range order.

Findings

Ground states are resonating-valence-bond states.

All ground states have the same energy for certain fillings.

Ground states exhibit off-diagonal long-range order.

Abstract

We propose a new exactly solvable model of strongly correlated electrons. The model is based on a $d$-$p$ model of the CuO$_2$ plane with infinitely large repulsive interactions on Cu-sites, and it contains additional correlated-hopping, pair-hopping and charge-charge interactions of electrons. For even numbers of electrons less than or equal to 2/3-filling, we construct the exact ground states of the model, all of which have the same energy and each of which is the unique ground state for a fixed electron number. It is shown that these ground states are the resonating-valence-bond states which are also regarded as condensed states in which all electrons are in a single two-electron state. We also show that the ground states exhibit off-diagonal long-range order.
