Although the mechanism of superconductivity in the cuprates remains elusive, it is generally agreed that at the heart of the problem is the physics of doped Mott insulators. The cuprate parent compound has one unpaired electron per Cu site,…
The properties of a phase at finite interactions can be significantly influenced by the underlying dispersion of the non-interacting Hamiltonian. We demonstrate this by studying the repulsive Hubbard model on the $2$D Lieb lattice, which…
