Two-dimensional Hubbard lattices with two or three holes are investigated as a function of $U$ in the large-$U$ limit. In the so-called Nagaoka limit (one-hole system at infinite $U$), it is known that the Hubbard model exhibits a…

Do quantum correlations play a role in high temperature dynamics of many-body systems? A common expectation is that thermal fluctuations lead to fast decoherence and make dynamics classical. In this paper, we provide a striking example of a…

We investigate the quantum phase transition of itinerant ferromagnets. It is shown that correlation effects in the underlying itinerant electron system lead to singularities in the order parameter field theory that result in an effective…

Nagaoka's theorem on ferromagnetism in the Hubbard model is extended to the Holstein-Hubbard model. This shows that Nagaoka's ferromagnetism is stable even if the electron-phonon interaction is taken into account. We also prove that…

We prove that Nagaoka's theorem, that the large-$U$ Hubbard model with exactly one hole is ferromagnetic, holds for any balanced Hamiltonian. Simply put, if a positive bond encodes friendship and a negative bond encodes enmity, then balance…
