In the tensor network representation, a deformed $Z_{2}$ topological ground state wave function is proposed and its norm can be exactly mapped to the two-dimensional solvable Ashkin-Teller (AT) model. Then the topological (toric code) phase…

We study the effect of an externally imposed rotation or magnetic field on frustrated multiband superconductors/superfluids. The frustration originates with multiple superconducting bands crossing the Fermi surface in conjunction with…
Strange-metal phenomena often develop at the border of antiferromagnetic order in strongly correlated metals. It has been well established that they can originate from the fluctuations anchored by the point of continuous quantum phase…

Close-packed, classical dimer models on three-dimensional, bipartite lattices harbor a Coulomb phase with power-law correlations at infinite temperature. Here, we discuss the nature of the thermal phase transition out of this Coulomb phase…
We give a general thermodynamic analyzis of the behaviour of the chemical potential of electrons in metals at a second order phase transition, including in our analysis the effect of long range Coulomb forces. It is shown, that this…
We study geometrically frustrated antiferromagnets with magnetoelastic coupling. Frustration in these systems may be relieved by a structural transition to a low temperature phase with reduced lattice symmetry. We examine the statistical…

We review recent results, obtained with P. Fendley, on frustration of quantum charges in lattice models for itinerant fermions with strong repulsive interactions. A judicious tuning of kinetic and interaction terms leads to models…
The breakdown of the lattice Kondo effect in local-moment metals can lead to non-trivial forms of quantum criticality and a variety of non-Fermi-liquid phases. Given indications that Kondo-breakdown transitions involve criticality not only…
We report magnetocaloric and magnetic-torque evidence that in Cs$_{2}$CuBr$_{4}$ -- a geometrically frustrated Heisenberg $S=1/2$ triangular-lattice antiferromagnet -- quantum fluctuations stabilize a series of spin states at simple…
We carry out extensive Monte Carlo simulations on the Coulomb gas dual to the uniformly frustrated two dimensional XY model, for a sequence of frustrations f converging to the irraltional (3-sqrt 5)/2. We find in these systems a sharp first…
It has long been thought that strongly correlated systems are adiabatically connected to their noninteracting counterpart. Recent developments have highlighted the fallacy of this traditional notion in a variety of settings. Here we use a…
We study the Holstein-Hubbard model at half filling to explore the ordered phases such as the charge density wave and antiferromagnet. The Coulomb interaction is rewritten in terms of auxiliary fields. By treating the auxiliary fields and…
In real magnets the tendency towards ferromagnetism, promoted by exchange coupling, is usually frustrated by dipolar interaction. As a result, the uniformly ordered phase is replaced by modulated (multi-domain) phases, characterized by…
The effect of a Coulombic coupling on the dynamics of a quantum dot hybridized to leads is determined. The calculation treats the interaction between charge fluctuations on the dot and the dynamically generated image charge in the leads. A…
Geometrically frustrated interactions may render classical ground-states macroscopically degenerate. The connection between classical and quantum liquids and how the degeneracy is affected by quantum fluctuations is, however, less well…
