Superconductivity in the Hubbard model: a hidden-order diagnostics from the Luther-Emery phase on ladders

Short-range antiferromagnetic correlations are known to open a spin gap in the repulsive Hubbard model on ladders with $M$ legs, when $M$ is even. We show that the spin gap originates from the formation of correlated pairs of electrons with opposite spin, captured by the hidden ordering of a spin...
