Abstract
The problem of ferromagnetism -- associated with a ground state with maximal total spin -- is discussed in the framework of a hard-core model, which forbids the occupancy at each site with more than one particle. It is shown that the emergence of ferromagnetism on finite square lattices crucially depends on the statistics of the particles. Fermions (electrons) lead to the well-known instabilities for finite hole densities, whereas for bosons (with spin) ferromagnetism appears to be stable for all hole densities.
