Abstract
We show how to perform exact diagonalizations of Fermi-Hubbard models on -site clusters separately in each irreducible representation (irrep) of . Using the representation theory of the unitary group , we demonstrate that a convenient orthonormal basis, on which matrix elements of the Hamiltonian are very simple, is given by the set of semistandard Young tableaux (or, equivalently, the Gelfand-Tsetlin patterns) corresponding to the targeted irrep. As an application of this color factorization, we study the robustness of some phases predicted in the Heisenberg limit upon decreasing the on-site interaction on various lattices of size and for . In particular, we show that a long-range color ordered phase emerges for intermediate for at filling on the triangular lattice.
