Abstract
The Peierls instability and the flux phase problem are treated in a unified way for certain models of strong electronic correlations. The treatment relies on an adaptation of the reflection positivity technique valid for certain models of itinerant fermions. We discuss three applications: the dia- or paramagnetic behavior of annulenes, the instability in a two dimensional Peierls-Hubbard model and some properties of coupled polyacetylene chains.
