48. In contrast, the AF state of the Hubbard model (with nearest neighor hopping) is unstable to longitudinal fluctuations upon hole doping, leading to formation of spin bags [J. R. Schrieffer, X.-G. Wen, and S.-C. Zhang, Phys. Rev. Lett. 60, 944 (1988)] and stripes
49. [D. Poilblanc and T. M. Rice, Phys. Rev. B 39, 9749 (1989).] It is the degeneracy at the nested Fermi surface which significantly enhances the susceptibility to longitudinal fluctuations, as evidenced by the stabilization of the homogeneous antiferromagnetic state when this degeneracy is lifted, e.g., by a small next-nearest-neighbour hopping term (Ref. 40).
