Abstract
We have studied hole states on square lattices with 8, 10, 16, 18, and 20 sites by exactly diagonalizing the single-hole t-J model with twisted boundary conditions in the whole Brillouin zone. The bottom of the hole band is found to be extremely flat and anisotropic. The hole effective mass is highly anisotropic and enhanced in a quantum antiferromagnet. The momentum of a hole in the ground state is not located at high-symmetry points such as (±π/2,±π/2), (±π,0), or (0,±π). They are strongly lattice-size dependent and weakly parameter J/t (t is the hopping constant and J is the exchange constant) dependent. As the lattice size increases, the momentum of the ground state approaches the zone face center (±π/2,±π/2).
