A new spectrum generating symmetry is discovered which essentialy reduces the problem of diagonalization of these models. Provided that one knows one eigenvector at one point in the parameter space of the corresponding Harper equation one knows an eigenfunction of the corresponding model in the whole range of momentum singlet out by the Landau gauge.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "1992-02-16T16:24:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "magnetic field", "tight-binding models", "bloch electron", "diagonalization", "spectrum generating symmetry" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 319572, "adsabs": "1992hep.th....2048M" } } }
