The evolution from an anomalous metallic phase to a Mott insulator within the two-dimensional Hubbard model is investigated by means of the Cellular Dynamical Mean-Field Theory. We show that the density-driven Mott metal-insulator…
I show that the quantum critical points observed in heavy fermions (the `Kondo breakdown') and in doped cuprates can be understood in terms of concealed Mott criticality. In this picture, one species of electrons undergoes a Mott…
In metals, electrons in a magnetic field undergo cyclotron motion, leading to oscillations in physical properties called quantum oscillations. This phenomenon has never been seen in a robust insulator because there are no mobile electrons.…

A scheme is presented that enables a description of a paramagnetic Mott insulator in terms of free fermions. The main idea is to view the physical fermions as a part of a multi-band system and to allow for a correlation between the physical…
Mott physics is characterized by an interaction-driven metal-to-insulator transition in a partially filled band. In the resulting insulating state, antiferromagnetic orders of the local moments typically develop, but in rare situations no…
The checkerboard lattice, with alternating 'crossed' plaquettes, serves as the two dimensional analog of the pyrochlore lattice. The corner sharing plaquette structure leads to a hugely degenerate ground state, and no magnetic order, for…
