Abstract

We prove that the motion of a single hole induces SU(N)SU(N) flavor-singlets in the U=U=\infty SU(N)SU(N) (Fermi) Hubbard model on a Husimi-like tree graph. The result is also generalized to certain tt-JJ models with antiferromagnetic interactions and singlet hopping terms typically neglected in the literature. This is an SU(N)SU(N) generalization of the "counter-Nagaoka theorem" introduced in [Phys. Rev. B 107, L140401 (2023)]. Our results suggest the existence of antiferromagnetic or resonating-valence-bond (RVB)-like polarons in the tt-JJ models on a more realistic non-bipartite lattice. Such antiferromagnetic/RVB polarons may be relevant for a novel strong-coupling mechanism of superconductivity or other exotic fractionalized phases of matter.
