We consider point particles in a table made of two circular cavities connected by two rectangular channels, forming a closed loop under periodic boundary conditions. In the first channel, a bounce--back mechanism acts when the number of…
The density-matrix renormalization-group method is used to study the electronic states of a two-chain Hubbard model for CuO double chains of PrBa$_2$Cu$_4$O$_8$. We show that the model at quarter filling has the charge ordered phases with…
Dynamical frictional phenomena are studied theoretically in a two-chain model with incommensurate structure. A perturbation theory with respect to the interchain interaction reveals the contributions from phonons excited in each chain to…
We study an Anderson impurity embedded in a d-wave superconductor carrying a supercurrent. The low-energy impurity behavior is investigated by using the numerical renormalization group method developed for arbitrary electronic bath spectra.…
For the one-dimensional Hubbard model subject to periodic boundary conditions we construct a unitary transformation between basis states so that open boundary conditions apply for the transformed Hamiltonian. Despite the fact that the…
We study the effects of an integrable impurity in a periodic t-J chain. The impurity couples to both spin and charge degrees of freedom and has the interesting feature that the interaction with the bulk can be varied continuously without…
The interplay between the Kondo screening of quantum impurities (by the electronic channels to which they couple) and the interimpurity RKKY interactions (mediated by the same channels) has been extensively studied. However, the effect of…
The two-dimensional Hubbard model with a bimodal distribution of on-site interactions, P(U_i) = (1-f)\delta(U_i-U) + f\delta(U_i), is studied using a finite temperature quantum Monte Carlo technique and dynamical mean-field theory. We find…
The one-dimensional Hubbard model with different on-site interactions is investigated by renormalization group technique. In the case of a 1/4-filled band the dynamical nonequivalence of sites leads to the appearance of Umklapp processes in…
Recent experimental investigations of arrays of magnetic atoms deposited on top of a superconductor have opened a new chapter in the search of topological superconductivity. We generalize the microscopic model derived by Pientka et al.…
We observe an enhanced visibility of charge-density-wave correlations in a cold-atom realization of the attractive Hubbard model following a rapid boost of the interaction strength. The interaction boost associates nonlocal pairs into…
The functional renormalization group (FRG) has been used widely to investigate phase diagrams, in particular the one of the two-dimensional Hubbard model. So far, the study of one-dimensional models has not attracted as much attention. We…
Semiconductor $p^+ - p^- - n - p^+ - n^{++}$ structures with large junction and contact areas are treated as 1 \times 2-dimensional active media, in which self-organized pattern formation can be expected. The local bistable behavior of the…
We study a simple model of the two-channel Kondo effect in a distorted crystal. This model is then used to investigate the interplay of the Kondo and Jahn-Teller effects, and also the Kondo effect in an impure crystal. We find that the…
Pinning phenomena in an incommensurate two-chain model of friction are studied numerically. The pinning effect due to the breaking of analyticity exists in the present model. The pinning behavior is, however, quite different from that for…
It is usually assumed that any consistent interaction either deforms or retains the gauge symmetries of the corresponding free theory. We propose a simple model where an obvious irreducible gauge symmetry does not survive an interaction,…

We study the effect of impurities in a supersolid phase in comparison to the behavior in the solid and superfluid phases. A supersolid phase has been established for interacting hardcore bosons on a triangular lattice which may be…
We study a quantum impurity coupled to the edge states of a two-dimensional helical topological superconductor, i.e., to a pair of counterpropagating Majorana fermion edge channels with opposite spin polarizations. For an impurity described…
We study the renormalization of a single impurity potential in one-dimensional interacting electron systems in the presence of magnetic field. Using the bosonization technique and Bethe ansatz solutions, we determine the renormalization…
