We investigate the behaviour of hard-core bosons in one- and two-dimensional flat band systems, the chequerboard and the kagom\'e lattice and one-dimensional analogues thereof. The one dimensional systems have an exact local reflection…
The Hubbard model of bosons on two dimensional lattices with a lowest flat band is discussed. In these systems there is a critical density, where the ground state is known exactly and can be represented as a charge density wave. Above this…
Using a generalised version of Gershgorin's circle theorem, rigorous boundaries on the energies of the lowest states of a broad class of line graphs above a critical filling are derived for hardcore bosonic systems. Also a lower boundary on…
We investigate 1D and 2D cross-stitch lattices with hard-core bosons and analytically construct exact groundstates that feature macroscopic degeneracy. The construction relies on the presence of a flatband in the single particle spectrum…
We study the ground states of cold atoms in the tight-binding bands built from p-orbitals on a two dimensional honeycomb optical lattice. The band structure includes two completely flat bands. Exact many-body ground states with on-site…
We study the Wigner crystallization on partially filled topological flat bands. We identify the Wigner crystals by analyzing the cartesian and angular Fourier transform of the pair correlation density of the many-body ground state obtained…
The one-particle density matrices for hard core bosons in a one-dimensional harmonic trap are computed numerically for systems with up to 160 bosons. Diagonalization of the density matrix shows that the many-body ground state is not…
Bosons interacting repulsively on a lattice with a flat lowest band energy dispersion may, at sufficiently small filling factors, enter into a Wigner-crystal-like phase. This phase is a consequence of the dispersionless nature of the…
Interaction in a flat band is magnified due to the divergence in the density of states, which gives rise to a variety of many-body phenomena such as ferromagnetism and Wigner crystallization. Until now, however, most studies of the flat…
We show that two tight binding electrons that repel may form a bounded pair in two dimensions. The paired states form a band with energies that scale like the strength of the interaction potential. By applying an electric field we show that…
With Girardeau's Fermi-Bose mapping, we find the exact ground states of hard-core bosons residing in a one dimensional periodic potential. The analysis of these ground states shows that when the number of bosons $N$ is commensurate with the…
We study a system of penetrable bosons embedded in a spherical surface. Under the assumption of weak interaction between the particles, the ground state of the system is, to a good approximation, a pure condensate. We employ thermodynamic…
At very low density, the electrons in a uniform electron gas spontaneously break symmetry and form a crystalline lattice called a Wigner crystal. But which type of crystal will the electrons form? We report a numerical study of the density…
Using many-body configuration interaction techniques we show that Wigner crystallization occurs at the zigzag edges of graphene at surprisingly high electronic densities up to $0.8$ $\mbox{nm}^{-1}$. In contrast with one-dimensional…
In a flat band superconductor, bosonic excitations can disperse while unpaired electrons are immobile. To study this strongly interacting system, we construct a family of multi-band Hubbard models with exact eta-pairing ground states in all…
It is known that a gas of electrons in a uniform neutralizing background can crystallize and form a lattice if the electron density is less than a critical value. This crystallization may have two- or three-dimensional structure. Since the…
The existence of Bloch flat bands provides an facile pathway to realize strongly correlated phenomena in materials. Using density-functional theory and tight-binding approach, we show that the flat bands can form in twisted bilayer of…

We study the phase diagram of a two-dimensional assembly of bosons interacting via a soft core repulsive pair potential of varying strength, and compare it to that of the equivalent system in which particles are regarded as distinguishable.…
