We investigate the formation of trimers in an infinite one-dimensional lattice model of hard-core particles with single-particle hopping $t$ and and nearest-neighbour two-body $U$ and three-body $V$ interactions of relevance to Rydberg…
Several variants of the recently proposed Density Matrix Embedding Theory (DMET) [G. Knizia and G. K-L. Chan, Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 186404 (2012)] are formulated and tested. We show that spin symmetry breaking of the lattice mean-field…
The monomer-dimer model is fundamental in statistical mechanics. However, it is $#P$-complete in computation, even for two dimensional problems. A formulation in matrix permanent for the partition function of the monomer-dimer model is…

Consider the unit triangular lattice in the plane with origin $O$, drawn so that one of the sets of lattice lines is vertical. Let $l$ and $l'$ denote respectively the vertical and horizontal lines that intersect $O$. Suppose the plane…
We study fermions in a lattice, with on-site and nearest neighbor attractive interactions between two spin species. We consider two geometries: both spins in a triangular lattice, and a mixed geometry with up-spins in honeycomb and…
We revisit the spectral problem for Bloch electrons in a two-dimensional bipartite honeycomb lattice under a uniform magnetic field. It is well-known that such a honeycomb structure is realized in graphene. We present a systematic framework…
Exact solutions of interacting random walk models, such as 1D lattice gases, offer precise insight into the origin of nonequilibrium phenomena. Here, we study a model of run-and-tumble particles on a ring lattice interacting via hardcore…
We construct finite element subspaces of the space of symmetric tensors with square-integrable divergence on a three-dimensional domain. These spaces can be used to approximate the stress field in the classical Hellinger--Reissner mixed…

Equilateral triangle-shaped graphene nanoislands with a lateral dimension of $n$ benzene rings are known as $[n]$triangulenes. Individual $[n]$triangulenes are open-shell molecules, with single-particle electronic spectra that host $n-1$…

Trimers are defined as two adjacent edges on a graph. We study the quantum states obtained as equal-weight superpositions of all trimer coverings of a lattice, with the constraint of having a trimer on each vertex: the so-called trimer…
