By explicitly tracking the Marshall sign, a phase string induced by hopping is revealed in the one-hole-doped $t-J$ model. It is rigorously shown that such a phase string cannot be eliminated through low-lying spin excitations, and it…

The quasiparticle dispersion in the one-hole t-t'-t"-J model is studied. Both the finite-size diagonalization and the self-consistent Born approximation calculations have been performed and compared. The quasiparticle band structures in the…
We show that lightly doped holes will be self-trapped in an antiferromagnetic spin background at low-temperatures, resulting in a spontaneous translational symmetry breaking. The underlying Mott physics is responsible for such novel…
We show that doped Mott insulators exhibit a collective degree of freedom, not made out of the elemental excitations, because the number of single-particle addition states at low energy per electron per spin is greater than one. The…
The dynamical properties of hole motion in an antiferromagnetic background are determined in one dimensional models in zero magnetic field, where spin isotropy holds, as well as in an external magnetic field. The latter case is also…
