The $t-V$ model is usually written as: $$H = -t\sum_{i}^{L}c_i^\dagger c_{i+1} + c_{i+1}^\dagger c_i + V\sum_i n_i n_{i+1}$$ where $c_i^\dagger(c_i)$ are creation (annahilation) operators and $n_i$ is number operator.
At some places (i.e. this), the same model is written as $$H = -t\sum_{i}^{L}c_i^\dagger c_{i+1} + c_{i+1}^\dagger c_i + V\sum_i \bigg(n_i-\frac{1}{2}\bigg) \bigg(n_{i+1}-\frac{1}{2}\bigg)$$ I have two question:
- What is the difference between these two?
- The latter is usually used when you want to apply Jordan-Wigner transformation but, if I apply Jordan-Wigner transformation on the first Hamiltonain then what will be the difference in ground-state?
