We propose a paring mechanism between holes in the dilute limit of doped frustrated Mott insulators. Hole pairing arises from a hole-hole-magnon three-body bound state. This pairing mechanism has its roots on single-hole kinetic energy…
The repulsive Fermi Hubbard model on the square lattice has a rich phase diagram near half-filling (corresponding to the particle density per lattice site $n=1$): for $n=1$ the ground state is an antiferromagnetic insulator, at $0.6 < n…
We analyze the role of spatial electronic correlations and, in particular, of the magnetic fluctuations in Mott insulators. A half-filled Hubbard model is solved at large strength of the repulsion U on a two-dimensional square lattice using…
Electronic correlations arise from the competition between the electrons' kinetic and Coulomb interaction energy and give rise to a rich phase diagram and many emergent quasiparticles. The binding of doubly-occupied and empty sites into a…
Metals with values of the resistivity and the Hall coefficient much larger than typical ones, e.g., of sodium, are called semimetals. We suggest a model for semimetals which takes into account the strong Coulomb repulsion of the charge…

Correlation effects play an important role in the electronic structure of half-metallic (HM) magnets. In particular, they give rise to non-quasiparticle states above (or below) the Fermi energy at finite temperatures that reduce the spin…
A necessary condition for superconductivity (SC) driven by electron correlations is that electron-electron (e-e) interactions enhance superconducting pair-pair correlations, relative to the noninteracting limit. We report high-precision…
