In a bearing state, touching spheres (disks in two dimensions) roll on each other without slip. Here we frustrate a system of touching spheres by imposing two different bearing states on opposite sides and search for the configurations of…
As discussed in several chapters of this volume, frustration leads to unconventional (insulating) ground states. On the other hand, doped holes are known to have profound effects in Mott insulators. Therefore doped frustrated systems offer…
I propose that the ground state of the 2D $t$-$J$ model near half-filling with $J/t\sim1/3$ has both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic fluctuations leading to a magnetically frustrated ground state. I further argue that the frustrated…
It is argued that close to a Coulomb interacting quantum critical point, the interaction between two vortices in a disordered superconducting thin film separated by a distance $r$ changes from logarithmic in the mean-field region to $1/r$…
The Hartree-Fock ground-state phase diagram of the one-dimensional Hubbard model is calculated in the $\mu-U$ plane, restricted to phases with no charge density modulation, extending the results presented in cond-mat/9511116. This allows…
We analyze an interplay between Coulomb blockade and quantum fluctuations in a coherent conductor (with dimensionless conductance $g \gtrsim 1$) attached to an Ohmic shunt. We demonstrate that at T=0 the system can be either an insulator or…
From thermodynamic analysis we demonstrate that during metal-insulator transitions in pure matters, a nonequilibrium homogeneous state may be unstable against charge density modulations with certain wavelengths, and thus evolves to the…
The recent experimental observation of a metal-insulator transition in two dimensions prompts a re-examination of the theory of disordered interacting systems. We argue that the existing theory permits the existence of a metallic phase and…
A class of models of driven diffusive systems which is shown to exhibit phase separation in $d=1$ dimensions is introduced. Unlike all previously studied models exhibiting similar phenomena, here the phase separated state is fluctuating in…
