The recent developments of the phase string theory for doped antiferromagnets will be briefly reviewed. Such theory is built upon a singular phase string effect induced by the motion of holes in a doped antiferromagnet, which as a precise…
The motion of a single hole in a Mott antiferromagnet is investigated based on the t-J model. An exact expression of the energy spectrum is obtained, in which the irreparable phase string effect [Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 5102 (1996)] is…
Charge order appears to be an ubiquitous phenomenon in doped Mott insulators, which is currently under intense experimental and theoretical investigations particularly in the high $T_c$ cuprates. This phenomenon is conventionally understood…
The stripe phase, an intertwined order observed in high-temperature superconductors, is regarded as playing a key role in elucidating the underlying mechanism of superconductivity, especially in cuprates. Following Jan Zaanen's early…
We apply the fermionic tensor network (TN) state method to understand the strongly correlated nature in a doped Mott insulator. We conduct a comparative study of the $\sigma t$-$J$ model, in which the no-double-occupancy constraint remains…
Optical measurements in doped Mott insulators have discovered the emergence of spectral weights at mid-infrared (MIR) upon chemical doping and photodoping. MIR weights may have a relation to string-type excitation of spins, which is induced…
Quasiparticle properties are explored in an effective theory of the $t-J$ model which includes two important components: spin-charge separation and unrenormalizable phase shift. We show that the phase shift effect indeed causes the system…
It has been argued recently that string theory effects qualitatively modify the effective black hole geometry experienced by modes with radial momentum of order $1/\sqrt{\alpha'}$. At tree level, these $\alpha'$-effects can be explicitly…
We argue that recently reported high resolution angle-resolved photoelectron spectra from cuprates, where an anomalous high-energy dispersion was identified, reveal the internal structure of the hole quasiparticle in quantum…
The 2D Hubbard model with large repulsion is a central and yet unsolved problem in condensed matter physics for decades. The challenge appears below half filling, where the system is a doped antiferromagnet. In this regime, the fermion…
Injecting a single hole into a one-dimensional Heisenberg spin chain is probably the simplest case of doping a Mott insulator. The motion of such a single hole will generally induce a many-body phase shift, which can be identified by an…
A mean-field treatment of the phase string effect in the $t-J$ model is presented. Such a theory is able to unite the antiferromagnetic (AF) phase at half-filling and metallic phase at finite doping within a single theoretical framework. We…
Understanding the doped Mott insulator is a central challenge in condensed matter physics. In this work, we first explicitly identify a new sign structure in the $t$-$t'$-$J$ model on the square lattice that replaces the conventional Fermi…
Marshall sign as a sole source of sign problem hidden in an antiferromagnet is explored under doping. By tracking the Marshall sign, a zero spectral weight $Z$ is revealed in the doped antiferromagnetic system. $Z=0$ is caused by a phase…
The aim of the present paper is twofold. The first goal is to show that high resolution angle-resolved photoelectron spectra from cuprates indicate the presence of string-like excitations of the quasihole excitation in a quantum…
It is shown that the dynamics of a single hole in a quantum antiferromagnet (described by the t--J model) can be simply understood in terms of a composite quasiparticle. This description provides naturally two different energy scales t and…
The quasi-particle weight of a single hole in an antiferromagnetic background is studied in the semiclassical approximation. We start from the t-J model, generalize it to arbitrary spin S by employing an appropriate coherent state…
We present the quantum phase diagram of the one-dimensional $t$-$J_z$ model for arbitrary spin (integer or half-integer) and sign of the spin-spin interaction $J_z$, using an {\it exact} mapping to a spinless fermion model that can be…
The recently discussed tendency of holes to generate nontrivial spin environments in the extended two-dimensional t-J model (G. Martins, R. Eder, and E. Dagotto, Phys. Rev. B{\bf 60}, R3716 (1999)) is here investigated using computational…
The motion of a single hole in an arbitrary magnetic background is investigated for the 2D t-J model. The wavefunction of the hole is described within a generalized string picture which leads to a modified concept of spin polarons. We…
