We consider the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model and the repulsive Hubbard model for a class of frustrated lattices with a completely dispersionless (flat) lowest one-particle (either one-magnon or one-electron) band. We construct exact…
We consider the repulsive Hubbard model on three highly frustrated one-dimensional lattices -- sawtooth chain and two kagom\'{e} chains -- with completely dispersionless (flat) lowest single-electron bands. We construct the complete…
Highly frustrated lattices yield a completely flat lowest single-electron band. Remarkably, exact many-body ground states can be constructed for the repulsive Hubbard model and the t-J model by filling this flat band with localized electron…
Using the example of the sawtooth chain, we argue that the t-J model shares important features with the Hubbard model on highly frustrated lattices. The lowest single-fermion band is completely flat (for a specific choice of the hopping…
We study the repulsive Hubbard model both analytically and numerically on a family of highly frustrated lattices which have one-electron states localized on isolated trapping cells. We construct and count exact many-electron ground states…
Spinless fermions on highly frustrated lattices are characterized by a lowest single-particle band which is completely flat. Concrete realizations are provided by the sawtooth chain and the kagome lattice. For these models a real-space…
The Hubbard model on the kagom\'e lattice has highly degenerate ground states (the flat lowest band) in the corresponding single-electron problem and exhibits the so-called flat-band ferromagnetism in the many-electron ground states as was…
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…
Recent discovery of correlated electronic phases in twisted heterostructures raised a surge of interests in studying models and materials with flat bands where the electronic excitations are nearly dispersionless in momentum space. As such,…
We consider the strongly anisotropic spin-1/2 $XXZ$ model on the sawtooth-chain lattice with ferromagnetic longitudinal interaction $J^{zz}=\Delta J$ and aniferromagnetic transversal interaction $J^{xx}=J^{yy}=J>0$. At $\Delta=-1/2$ the…
We present several interesting phenomena related to flatband ferromagnetism in the Hubbard model. The first is a mathematical theorem stating certain conditions under which a flatband ferromagnetic must necessarily be degenerate with a…
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($n$)…
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…
The Hubbard model is a "highly oversimplified model" for electrons in a solid which interact with each other through extremely short ranged repulsive (Coulomb) interaction. The Hamiltonian of the Hubbard model consists of two pieces; H_hop…
We report on recent studies of the spin-half Heisenberg and the Hubbard model on the sawtooth chain. For both models we construct a class of exact eigenstates which are localized due to the frustrating geometry of the lattice for a certain…
Using the strong coupling diagram technique, magnetic and spectral properties of the two-dimensional repulsive Hubbard model are investigated in the ranges of repulsions $t\leq U\leq 10t$, temperatures $0.1t\lesssim T\lesssim 4t$ and…
We present a version of the Hubbard model with a gapless nearly-flat lowest band which exhibits ferromagnetism in two or more dimensions. The model is defined on a lattice obtained by placing a site on each edge of the hypercubic lattice,…
In this review we recapitulate the basic features of the flat-band spin systems and briefly summarize earlier studies in the field. Main emphasis is made on recent developments which include results for both spin and electron flat-band…
We model conducting pentagon chains with a multi orbital Hubbard model and prove that well below half filling exact ferromagnetic ground states appear. The rigorous method we use is based on the transformation of original hamiltonian into…
It is well known that the Hubbard model on a line graph has a flat band and ferromagnetic ground states in a certain density range. We show that for a Hubbard model on a line graph of a planar bipartite graph the ferromagnetic ground state…
