Fermion Operators -> Hubbard Operators

Consider spin-1/2 particles:

First, the state /home/shiul/blackboard_algebra_files/img_p.gif is defined as

/home/shiul/blackboard_algebra_files/img_fermistates.gif,

 where  /home/shiul/blackboard_algebra_files/img_zerostate.gif is the empty state, 

            /home/shiul/blackboard_algebra_files/img_upstate.gif is the one-particle-with-spin-up state, 

            /home/shiul/blackboard_algebra_files/img_downstate.gif is the one-particle-with-spin-down state, 

            /home/shiul/blackboard_algebra_files/img_fillstate.gif is the filled state, has two particles, 

                  one with spin up, another with spin down.

Second, define the filled state to be

,

( If the order of creating a particle with spin down first then another with spin up is exchanged, the sign will change, therefore the filled state must be defined in a certain order. )

where  /home/shiul/blackboard_algebra_files/img_upcreate.gif is the creation operator of one fermion with spin up,

           /home/shiul/blackboard_algebra_files/img_dcreate.gif is the creation operator of one fermion with spin down.

 then

/home/shiul/blackboard_algebra_files/img_Cupcreate.gif
/home/shiul/blackboard_algebra_files/img_Cdcreate.gif
/home/shiul/blackboard_algebra_files/img_Cupdestruc.gif
/home/shiul/blackboard_algebra_files/img_Cdodestruc.gif

where /home/shiul/blackboard_algebra_files/img_C.gif and /home/shiul/blackboard_algebra_files/img_Cdag.gif follow the fermion anticomutation relations.
