The ground-state phase diagrams of the three-orbital t2g Hubbard model are studied using a Hartree-Fock approximation. First, a complete set of multipolar order parameters for t2g models defined in terms of the effective total angular momentum jeff are theoretically derived. These order parameters can classify off-diagonal orders between jeff = 1/2 and jeff = 3/2 manifolds. Second, through extensive Hartree-Fock calculations, the ground-state phase diagrams in the space of (1) the onsite Coulomb repulsion U, (2) the spin-orbit coupling (SOC), and (3) the number of electrons are mapped out. A variety of nontrivial quantum phases with jeff-diagonal and jeff-off-diagonal multipole orders are found. Finally, future studies using more numerically expensive methods, such as dynamical mean-field theory are discussed.
