5. ph in Eq. (1.18) applies unchanged, but with p and h fermionic operators. The first two constraints in Eq. (1.16) are now automatically accounted for by fermionic statistics, while the last must be implemented by an infinite local repulsion between quasiparticles and quasiholes. Gapped phases appear for large λ-(the region with λ≪0 having Ising density wave order), but the particle-hole hopping asymmetry allows this fermionic model to exhibit gapless Fermi surfaces for motion in the transverse direction. The case of spinful fermions will have an even richer behavior, driven by the antiferromagnetic coupling between the spins.
