Topological Kondo insulators are strongly correlated materials, where itinerant electrons hybridize with localized spins giving rise to a topologically non-trivial band structure. Here we use non-perturbative bosonization and…

We study roles of electron correlations on topological insulators on the honeycomb lattice with the spin-orbit interaction. Accurate variational Monte Carlo calculations show that the increasing on-site Coulomb interactions cause a strong…

Motivated by cold atom experiments on Chern insulators, we study the honeycomb lattice Haldane-Hubbard Mott insulator of spin-$1/2$ fermions using exact diagonalization and density matrix renormalization group methods. We show that this…

A theory is developed for the T=0 Mott-Hubbard insulating phases of the infinite-dimensional Hubbard model at half-filling, including both the antiferromagnetic (AF) and paramagnetic (P) insulators. Local moments are introduced explicitly…

We investigate the electronic structure at the surface of the correlated oxide Ca$_3$Ru$_2$O$_7$, a low-symmetry ruthenate oxide which hosts an unconventional polar-metal phase. From a combination of angle-resolved photoemission…

We study the `tilting' of Mott insulators of bosons into metastable states. These are described by Hamiltonians acting on resonant subspaces, and have rich possibilities for correlated phases with non-trivial entanglement of pseudospin…

We re-examine the Peierls insulator to Mott insulator transition scenario in the one-dimensional Holstein-Hubbard model where, at half-filling, electron-phonon and electron-electron interactions compete for establishing charge- and…

The higher-order corner modes for quantum anomalous Hall insulators in $C_3$ symmetry broken honeycomb lattice have been engineered recently. Here we consider an extended Haldane model in presence of inversion symmetry breaking sub-lattice…

In this paper, based on the formulation of an O(3) non-linear sigma model, we study the two-dimensional Pi-flux Hubbard model at half-filling. A quantum non-magnetic insulator is explored near the metal-insulator transition that may be a…

We discuss the existence of a nontrivial topological phase in one-dimensional interacting systems described by the extended Bose-Hubbard model with a mean filling of one boson per site. Performing large-scale density-matrix renormalization…

We study various Mott insulating phases of interacting spin-3/2 fermionic ultracold atoms in two-dimensional square optical lattices at half filling. Using a generalized one-band Hubbard model with hidden SO(5) symmetry, we identify two…

We study theoretically the transport of the one-dimensional single-channel interacting electron gas through a strong potential barrier in the parameter regime where the spin sector of the low-energy Luttinger liquid theory is gapped by…

Motivated by exploring the effect of interactions on Chern insulators, and by recent experiments realizing topological bands for ultracold atoms in synthetic gauge fields, we study the honeycomb lattice Haldane-Hubbard model of spin-$1/2$…

We investigate the phase diagram of spinless bosons with long range (~ 1/r^3) repulsive interactions, relevant to ultracold polarized atoms or molecules, using DMRG. Between the two conventional insulating phases, the Mott and density wave…

Motivated by studies of coexisting electron correlation and spin-orbit coupling effect in Na$_2$IrO$_3$ and a recent experiment of its 4d analogue Li$_2$RhO$_3$, we performed first-principles calculations of the rhodium oxide compound. The…

We derive and analyze the effective low-energy theory for interacting electrons in a cylindrical nanowire made of a strong topological insulator. Three different approaches provide a consistent picture for the band structure, where surface…

We investigate the competition between the spin-orbit interaction of itinerant electrons and their Kondo coupling with local moments densely distributed on the honeycomb lattice. We find that the model at half-filling displays a quantum…

A fundamental open problem in condensed matter physics is how the dichotomy between conventional and topological band insulators is modified in the presence of strong electron interactions. We show that there are 6 new electronic…

Within the framework of a mean-field approach the Mott-Hubbard phase transition is considered in the Hubbard and Falicov-Kimball models for half-filled occupation. It is shown that a static Z_2-field forms an insulator state on the lattice…

The Hubbard model provides an idealized description of electronic correlations in solids. Despite its simplicity, the model features a competition between several different phases that have made it one of the most studied systems in…
