We discuss the possibility of finding n-type nematic order in the vicinity of a FM phase in the multiple--spin exchange model on the triangular lattice. We study this problem both from S=\infty (classical) and S=1/2 (quantum) limits.
We investigate superconductivity in a two-orbital Hubbard model on a square lattice by applying fluctuation exchange approximation. In the present model, the symmetry of the two orbitals are assumed to be that of an s orbital. Then, we find…

We study a multi-band Hubbard model in its orbital selective Mott phase, in which localized electrons in a narrow band coexist with itinerant electrons in a wide band. The low-energy physics of this phase is shown to be closely related to…

We study the asymmetric Hubbard model at half-filling as a generic model to describe the physics of two species of repulsively interacting fermionic cold atoms in optical lattices. We use Dynamical Mean Field Theory to obtain the…
We consider a two-dimensional spin system in a honeycomb lattice configuration that exhibits anyonic and fermionic excitations [Kitaev, cond-mat/0506438]. The exact spectrum that corresponds to the translationally invariant case of a…
In many materials, ordered phases and their order parameters are easily characterized by standard experimental methods. "Hidden order" refers to a phase transition in which an ordered state emerges without such an easily detectable order…
We study the classical version of the 120-degree model. This is an attractive nearest-neighbor system in three dimensions with XY (rotor) spins and interaction such that only a particular projection of the spins gets coupled in each…

A multi-orbital model for a CoO_2-layer in Na_xCoO_2 is derived. In this model the kinetic energy for the degenerate t_2g-orbitals is given by indirect hopping over oxygen, leading naturally to the concept of four inter-penetrating Kagome…
The hyperfine interaction between the electron spin and the nuclear spins is one of the main sources of decoherence for spin qubits when the nuclear spins are disordered. An ordering of the latter largely suppresses this source of…

Effects of spontaneous parity breaking by charge, spin, and orbital orders are investigated in a two-band Hubbard model on a honeycomb lattice. This is a minimal model in which the inter-orbital hopping, atomic spin-orbit coupling, and…
