A number of recent experiments report spin polarization in quantum wires in the absence of magnetic fields. These observations are in apparent contradiction with the Lieb-Mattis theorem, which forbids spontaneous spin polarization in one…

Sub-dimensional localization, also known as directional localization, arises when 2d electrons are subject to a periodic potential and incommensurate magnetic field which cause them to become exponentially localized along one crystal axis,…
We study the influence of on-site disorder on the magnetic properties of the ground state of the infinite $U$ Hubbard model. We find that for one dimensional systems disorder has no influence, while for two dimensional systems disorder…
