As discussed in several chapters of this volume, frustration leads to unconventional (insulating) ground states. On the other hand, doped holes are known to have profound effects in Mott insulators. Therefore doped frustrated systems offer…

Magnetic frustrations can enhance quantum zero-point motion in spin systems and lead to exotic topological insulating states. When coupled to mobile electrons, they may lead to unusual non-Fermi liquid or metallic spin liquid states whose…

Quasiparticle properties are explored in an effective theory of the $t-J$ model which includes two important components: spin-charge separation and unrenormalizable phase shift. We show that the phase shift effect indeed causes the system…
Iridates such as Sr$_2$IrO$_4$ are of considerable interest owing to the formation of the Mott insulating state driven by a large spin-orbit coupling. However, in contrast to the expectation from the Nagaoka Theorem that a single doped hole…
We have been able to resolve two long-standing issues that are central to the theory of high Tc superconductivity: (1) How is the physics of the doped region connected to that of the Mott insulator? (2) What is the origin of the…
We determine where a given concentration of ferromagnetic (FM) bonds doped into a square lattice antiferromagnet must go to minimize the system's total magnetic energy. We find (i) an infinite degeneracy of ground--state arrangements of FM…
We analyze the density dependence of the spin stiffnesses and the stability of magnetic order with respect to quantum fluctuations in the two-dimensional Hubbard model close to half-filling. The stiffnesses are computed from the spin…
