Comparison of the Multi-Band Hubbard and Heisenberg Models on Small Finite Clusters.

We perform exact numeric calculations for a few versions of the two-orbital Hubbard model on the four site cluster. We show that the conventional spin 1 Heisenberg Hamiltonian can be obtained in the strong coupling limit, but only for some versions of the two-orbital Hubbard model. Then we propose a modified version of the Heisenberg Hamiltonian, that we call the two-orbital Heisenberg model, which is relevant in those cases, where the conventional spin 1 Heisenberg model fails.
