We determine the spin and charge orders in the ground state of the doped two-dimensional (2D) Hubbard model in its simplest form, namely with only nearest-neighbor hopping and on-site repulsion. At half-filling, the ground state is known to…
We propose a theory for doped antiferromagnet based on a bosonic resonating-valence-bond (RVB) state with incorporating the phase string effect. Both antiferromagnetic (AF) and superconducting phase transitions occur naturally within such a…
Though most fermionic Mott insulators order at low temperatures, ordering is ancillary to their insulating behaviour. Our emphasis here is on disentangling ordering from the intrinsic strongly correlated physics of a doped half-filled band.…
We explore both analytically and numerically the properties of doped t-J models on a class of highly frustrated lattices, such as the kagome and the pyrochlore lattice. Focussing on a particular sign of the hopping integral and…
A central idea in strongly correlated systems is that doping a Mott insulator leads to a superconductor by transforming the resonating valence bonds (RVBs) into spin-singlet Cooper pairs. Here, we argue that a spin-triplet RVB (tRVB) state,…
We show that a resonant pulsed field can induce a steady superconducting state even in the deep Mott insulating phase of the dimerized Hubbard model. The superconductivity found here in the non-equilibrium steady state is due to the $\eta…
