We present a comprehensive study of the spin excitations - as measured by the dynamical spin structure factor $S(q,\omega)$ - of the so-called block-magnetic state of low-dimensional orbital-selective Mott insulators. We realize this state…
An analysis of Luttinger's theorem shows that -- contrary to recent claims -- it is not valid for a generic Mott insulator. For a two-orbital Hubbard model with two electrons per site the crossover from a non-magnetic correlated insulating…
