dc.descriptionFor a large class of networks made of connected loops, in the presence of an external magnetic field of half flux quantum per loop, we show the existence of a large local symmetry group, generated by simultaneous flips of the electronic current in all the loops adjacent to a given node. Using an ultra-localized single particle basis adapted to this local Z_2 symmetry, we show that it is preserved by a large class of interaction potentials. As a main physical consequence, the only allowed tunneling processes in such networks are induced by electron-electron interactions and involve a simultaneous hop of two electrons. Using a mean-field picture and then a more systematic renormalization-group treatment, we show that these pair hopping processes do not generate a superconducting instability, but they destroy the Luttinger liquid behavior in the links, giving rise at low energy to a strongly correlated spin-density-wave state.
