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…
We extend the renormalized quasiparticle description of the symmetric Anderson model in a magnetic field $H$, developed in earlier work, to the non-symmetric model. The renormalized parameters are deduced from the low energy NRG fixed point…
Spin fluctuation is presumed to be one of the key properties in understanding the microscopic origin of heavy-fermion-like behavior in the class of transition-metal compounds, including LiV$_2$O$_4$, Y(Sc)Mn$_2$, and YMn$_2$Zn$_{20}$. In…

Recent discovery of correlated electronic phases in twisted heterostructures raised a surge of interests in studying models and materials with flat bands where the electronic excitations are nearly dispersionless in momentum space. As such,…

The five-band Hubbard model for a $d$ band with one electron per site is a model which has very interesting properties when the relevant ions are located at sites with high (e. g. cubic) symmetry. In that case, if the crystal field…
We theoretically study a spin Hamiltonian for spin-orbit-coupled ferromagnets on the honeycomb lattice. We find that the effective Hamiltonian for magnons, a quanta of spin-wave excitations from ordered states, is equivalent to the Haldane…

Gutzwiller's semiclassical trace formula for the density of states in a chaotic system diverges near bifurcations of periodic orbits, where it must be replaced with uniform approximations. It is well known that, when applying these…
The usual Hartree-Fock approximation to the Hubbard model is based on eigenstates of the electron number operator. But this formulation is not unique. A different (and inequivalent) version, formulated in terms of Nambu two-component…
