The Spectrum-Generating Algebra of the Van Hove Scenario is SO(8)
R. S. Markiewicz, M. T. Vaughn
Abstract
The various nesting and pairing instabilities of the generalized Van Hove scenario can be classified via an SO(8) spectrum-generating algebra. An SO(6) subgroup is an approximate symmetry group of the model, having two 6-dimensional representations (`superspins'). This group contains as subgroups both the SO(5) and SO(4) groups found by Zhang, while one superspin is a combination of Zhang's 5-component superspin with a flux phase instability; the other includes a charge density wave instability plus s-wave superconductivity. This is the smallest group which can describe both striped phases and superconductivity.
