Abstract

We introduce in this paper an exact solvable BCS-Hubbard model in arbitrary dimensions. The model describes a p-wave BCS superconductor with equal spin pairing moving on a bipartite (cubic, square etc.) lattice with on site Hubbard interaction UU. We show that the model becomes exactly solvable for arbitrary UU when the BCS pairing amplitude Δ\Delta equals the hopping amplitude tt. The nature of the solution is described in detail in this paper. The construction of the exact solution is parallel to the exactly solvable Kitaev honeycomb model for S=1/2S=1/2 quantum spins and can be viewed as a generalization of Kitaev's construction to S=1/2S=1/2 interacting lattice fermions. The BCS-Hubbard model discussed in this paper is just an example of a large class of exactly solvable lattice fermion models that can be constructed similarly.
