When an electron is confined to a triangular atomic thick layer of graphene [1-5] with zig-zag edges, its energy spectrum collapses to a shell of degenerate states at the Fermi level (Dirac point) [6-9]. The degeneracy is proportional to…
We demonstrate the stability of a spin-triplet paired s-wave (with an admixture of extended s-wave) state for the case of purely repulsive interactions in a degenerate two-band Hubbard model. We further show that near half-filling the…
We investigate the possibility and stability of bandferromagnetism in the single-band Hubbard model. This model poses a highly non-trivial many-body problem the general solution of which has not been found up to now. Approximations are…

The physics of weak itinerant ferromagnets is challenging due to their small magnetic moments and the ambiguous role of local interactions governing their electronic properties, many of which violate Fermi liquid theory. While magnetic…
An approximate solution scheme, similar to the Gutzwiller approximation, is presented for the Baeriswyl and the Baeriswyl-Gutzwiller variational wavefunctions. The phase diagram of the one-dimensional Hubbard model as a function of…
Describing the Coulomb interactions between electrons in atomic or molecular systems is an important step to help us obtain accurate results for the different observables in the system. One convenient approach is to separate the dynamic…
We study self-energy effects induced by strong magnetic fluctuations in the paramagnetic phase of strongly-correlated itinerant magnets within the density functional theory combined with the dynamical mean field theory (DFT+DMFT approach)…
An oversight of some previous density functional calculations of the band gaps of wurtzite and cubic InN and of wurtzite GaN by Rinke et al. [Appl. Phys. Lett. 89,161919, 2006] led to an inaccurate and misleading statement relative to…
The Hubbard Hamiltonian is investigated by means of a variational trial wave function of Gutzwiller's type. The wave function includes nearest - neighbor correlations in an explicit form. To calculate density matrices the method of…
The eigenstates of interacting electrons in the fractional quantum Hall phase typically form fairly well defined bands in the energy space. We show that the composite fermion theory gives insight into the origin of these bands and provides…
Hund's metals are multi-orbital systems with $3d$ or $4d$ electrons exhibiting both itinerant character and local moments, and they feature Kondo-like screenings of local orbital and spin moments, with suppressed coherence temperature…
We introduce a new fermionic variational wavefunction, generalizing the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) wavefunction, which is suitable for interacting multi-species spinful systems and sustaining superfluidity. Applications range from…
