We model conducting pentagon chains with a multi orbital Hubbard model and prove that well below half filling exact ferromagnetic ground states appear. The rigorous method we use is based on the transformation of original hamiltonian into…
Motivated from the flat-band ferromagnetism conceived theoretically for a single chain of five membered rings (polyaminotriazole) by Arita {\it et al.}, [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 88}, 127202 (2002)], we have studied whether the magnetism can…

It is known that a system which exhibits a half filled lowest flat band and the localized one-particle Wannier states on the flat band satisfy the connectivity conditions, is always ferromagnetic. Without the connectivity conditions on the…
A Hubbard model with a single, partially flat band has ferromagnetic ground states. It is shown that local stability of ferromagnetism implies its global stability in such a model: The model has only ferromagnetic ground states if there are…
Electrons in condensed matter may transition into a variety of broken-symmetry phase states due to electron-electron interactions. Applying diverse mean-field approximations to the interaction term is arguably the simplest way to identify…
We construct a multi-band Hubbard model on the lattice obtained by "decorating" a closely packed $d$-dimensional lattice $\mathcal{M}$ (such as the triangular lattice) where $d\ge2$. We take the limits in which the Coulomb interaction and…
We construct a Hubbard model with a nearly flat band whose quantum geometry can be tuned independently of the energy dispersion and the Coulomb interaction. We show that, when the nearly flat band is half-filled, the exact ground state of…
