A large class of correlated quantum materials feature strong Hund's coupling. Yet cold-atom quantum simulators have so far focused primarily on single-orbital Fermi-Hubbard systems near a Mott insulator. Here we show that repulsively…

We construct a multi-band Hubbard model on the lattice obtained by "decorating" a closely packed $d$-dimensional lattice $\mathcal{M}$ (such as the triangular lattice) where $d\ge2$. We take the limits in which the Coulomb interaction and…

We make an attempt at unveiling the thermodynamic "signature" of a specific class of electronic systems, the so called nearly-flat-band paramagnets and ferromagnets that can theoretically be described by appropriate versions of the Hubbard…

We develop a general theory of flat-band ferromagnetism in the SU($N$) Fermi-Hubbard model, which describes the behavior of $N$-component fermions with SU($N$) symmetric interactions. We focus on the case where the single-particle spectrum…

A recent experiment has examined ultracold, fermionic, spin-1/2 $^6$Li atoms in the Lieb lattice at different Hubbard repulsion $U$ and filling fractions $\nu$ (Lebrat et al. arXiv:2404.17555). At $\nu=1/2$ and small $U$, they observe an…

We consider the standard repulsive Hubbard model with a flat lowest-energy band for two one-dimensional lattices (diamond chain and ladder) as well as for a two-dimensional lattice (bilayer) at half filling of the flat band. The considered…

We present rigorous results for the SU($n$) Fermi-Hubbard model on the railroad-trestle lattice. We first study the model with a flat band at the bottom of the single-particle spectrum and prove that the ground states exhibit SU($n$)…

Flexible ferromagnetic rings are spin-chain magnets, in which the magnetic and mechanical subsystems are coupled. The coupling is achieved through the tangentially oriented anisotropy axis. The possibility to operate the mechanics of the…
