Metallic Ferromagnetism in the Hubbard Model: A Rigorous Example

We present the first rigorous example of the Hubbard model in any dimension which exhibits metallic ferromagnetism. The model is a genuine Hubbard model with short-range hopping and on-site Coulomb repulsion, and has many single-electron bands. In the limit where the band gap and the Coulomb repulsion become infinite, we prove that the ground states are completely ferromagnetic and at the same time conducting.
