Abstract
We demonstrate an exact local transformation which maps a purely Fermionic manybody system to a system of spinfull Bosons and spinless Fermions, demonstrating a possible path to a non-Fermi liquid state. We apply this to the half-filled Hubbard model and show how the transformation maps the ordinary spin half Fermionic degrees of freedom exactly and without introducing Hilbert space constraints to a charge-like ``quasicharge'' fermion and a spin-like ``quasispin'' Boson while preserving all the symmetries of the model. We present approximate solutions with localized charge which emerge naturally from the Hubbard model in this form. Our results strongly suggest that charge tends to remain localized for large values of the Hubbard U.
