Hubbard ladders are an important stepping stone to the physics of the two-dimensional Hubbard model. While many of their properties are accessible to numerical and analytical techniques, the question of whether weakly hole-doped Hubbard…
In the weak coupling limit, we investigate two-leg ladders with a unit cell containing both Cu and O atoms, as a function of doping. For purely repulsive interactions, using bosonization, we find significant differences with the single…

We study the influence of non magnetic impurities on the phase diagram of doped two-leg Hubbard Cu-O ladders. In the absence of impurities this system posseses d-wave superconducting states and orbital current states depending on the…
We study the one-band Hubbard model on the trellis lattice, a two-dimensional frustrated lattice of coupled two-leg ladders, with hopping amplitude $t$ within ladders and $t'$ between ladders. For large $U/t$ this is a model for the cuprate…
The phase separation instability occurring with increasing nearest-neighbor repulsion V in a two-band Hubbard model (CuO chain) is discussed. Quantum Monte Carlo simulations indicate that this transition is associated with a level-crossing…
We have performed large-scale density-matrix renormalization group studies of the lightly doped Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice on long three and four-leg cylinders. We find that the ground state of the system upon lightly doping is…
The Hubbard model provides a simple framework in which one can study how certain aspects of the electronic structure of strongly interacting systems can be tuned to optimize the superconducting pairing correlations and how these changes…
Previously we showed the major effect of electron correlation in the cuprate superconductors is to lower the energy of the Cu d_x^2-y^2/O p_sigma (x^2-y^2) band with respect to the Cu d_z^2/O' p_z (z^2) band. In our 2D Hubbard model for…
