While the phase diagrams of the one- and multi-orbital Hubbard model have been well studied, the physics of real Mott insulators is often much richer, material dependent, and poorly understood. In the prototype Mott insulator…

We discuss the transition from a metal to charge or spin insulating phases characterized by the opening of a gap in the charge or spin excitation spectra, respectively. These transitions are addressed within the context of two exactly…
We examine the metal-insulator transition in a half-filled Hubbard model of electrons with random and all-to-all hopping and exchange, and an on-site non-random repulsion, the Hubbard $U$. We argue that recent numerical results of Cha et…
