The notion of quasi-angular momentum is introduced to label the eigenstates of a Hamiltonian with a discrete rotational symmetry. This concept is recast in an operatorial form where the creation and annihilation operators of a Hubbard Hamiltonian carry units of quasi-angular momentum. Using this formalism, the ground states of ultracold gases of non-interacting fermions in rotating optical lattices are studied as a function of rotation, and transitions between states of different quasi-angular momentum are identified. In addition, previous results for strongly-interacting bosons are re-examined and compared to the results for non-interacting fermions. Quasi-angular momentum can be used to distinguish between these two cases. Finally, an experimentally accessible signature of quasi-angular momentum is identified in the momentum distributions of single-particle eigenstates.
