Kinematic constraint arising in the case of superconducting pairing with large momentum results in a cutoff of the screened Coulomb potential excluding large momentum transfers. This leads to a pairing potential oscillating in the real…

We use an extended two-band Kondo lattice model (KLM) to investigate the occurrence of different (anti-)ferromagnetic phases or phase separation depending on several model parameters. With regard to CMR-materials like the manganites we have…
As discussed in several chapters of this volume, frustration leads to unconventional (insulating) ground states. On the other hand, doped holes are known to have profound effects in Mott insulators. Therefore doped frustrated systems offer…

From a mean-field solution of the Hubbard-Holstein model, we show that a rich variety of different electronic phases can result at the interface between two polar materials such as LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$. Depending on the strengths of the…
We study a system involving a single quantum degree of freedom per site of the lattice interacting with a few neighbors (up to second neighbors), with the interactions chosen as to produce frustration. At zero temperature, this system…
Coarse-grained models are widely used to explain the effective behavior of partially observable physical systems with hidden degrees of freedom. Reduction procedures in state space typically disrupt Markovianity and a fluctuation relation…
In a recent paper (cond-mat/9703164) a general field-theoretical description of many-fermion systems with short-ranged interactions has been developed. Here we extend this theory to the case of disordered electrons interacting via a Coulomb…
