Unusual properties of the Hubbard chain of arbitrary degeneracy {ital N} and excluded-site occupations of more than two electrons are presented: (i) In zero field and in the limit of large {ital N} the ground state resembles an interacting Bose gas. The 1/{ital N} contributions vanish identically, so that corrections to leading order are 1/{ital N}{sup 2}. (ii) The susceptibility at {ital T}=0 shows logarithmic singularities as {ital H}{r arrow}0. (iii) The Hubbard model and the Heisenberg chain have the same low-energy spin excitations for all {ital U}. (iv) The specific-heat coefficient {gamma} is singular. These properties hold for arbitrary band filling and (ii)--(iv) hold for all {ital N}{ge}2.
