contents The Hatsugai-Kohmoto (HK) model is an exactly solvable electronic lattice model where the interaction between electrons with opposite spin is diagonal in momentum space. We generalize the HK model by introducing momentum-mixing Landau interactions. Within a self-consistent mean-field analysis we find that the ground state of this model exhibits a partially flat energy band, in agreement with the fermion condensation scenario proposed by Khodel and Shaginyan [JETP Lett. 51, 553 (1990)]. Inspired by Andersons pseudospin formulation of BCS theory, we show that the HK model with Landau interactions can be mapped onto a generalized Ising model where each site of the reciprocal lattice hosts two Ising spins. In the pseudospin picture the emergence of a partially flat electronic band corresponds to the smoothing of a magnetic domain wall. Moreover, guided by the pseudospin picture, we propose an exactly solvable variant of the HK model which has a unique ground state for all densities.
