A Quantum Mermin-Wagner Theorem for a Generalized Hubbard Model by Mark Kelbert, Yurii Suhov

“…(Physically, vertex i represents a heavy “atom” or “ion” that does not move but attracts a number of “light” particles.) The kinetic energy part of the Hamiltonian includes (i) -Δ/2, the minus a half of the Laplace operator on M, responsible for the motion of a particle while “trapped” by a given atom, and (ii) an integral term describing possible “jumps” where a particle may join another atom. …”
