Quantum Monte Carlo results for the specific heat c of the two dimensional Hubbard model are presented. At half-filling it was observed that $c \sim T^2$ at very low temperatures. Two distinct features were also identified: a low temperature peak related to the spin degrees of freedom and a higher temperature broad pea...

Slave-Boson Functional-Integral Approach to the Hubbard Model with Orbital Degeneracy
cond-mat.str-el
A slave-boson functional-integral method has been developed for the Hubbard model with arbitrary, orbital degeneracy $D$. Its saddle-point mean-field theory is equivalent to the Gutzwiller approximation, as in the case of single-band Hubbard model. Our theory is applied to the doubly degenerate ($D = 2$) model, and num...

Interplay of Mott Transition and Ferromagnetism in the Orbitally Degenerate Hubbard Model
cond-mat.str-el
A slave boson representation for the degenerate Hubbard model is introduced. The location of the metal to insulator transition that occurs at commensurate densities is shown to depend weakly on the band degeneracy M. The relative weights of the Hubbard sub-bands depend strongly on M, as well as the magnetic properties....

In order to study the effects of strong magnetic field on Kondo insulators, we calculate magnetization curves and single-particle excitation spectra of the periodic Anderson model at half-filling under finite magnetic field by using the self-consistent second-order perturbation theory combined with the local approximat...

cond-mat.str-el
Employing the Lanczos algorithm in combination with a kernel polynomial moment expansion (KPM) and the maximum entropy method (MEM), we show a way of calculating charge and spin excitations in the Holstein t-J model, including the full quantum nature of phonons. To analyze polaron band formation we evaluate the hole sp...

On the stability of polaronic superlattices in strongly coupled electron-phonon systems
cond-mat.str-el
We investigate the interplay of electron-phonon (EP) coupling and strong electronic correlations in the frame of the two-dimensional (2D) Holstein t-J model (HtJM), focusing on polaronic ordering phenomena for the quarter-filled band case. The use of direct Lanczos diagonalization on finite lattices allows us to includ...

The report discusses the slave-fermion representations of the t-J model and describes another representation, in which fermions and bosons are completely commuting and in which the properties of fermions are directly related to the properties of physical holes. For a study of the system in the new representation at hal...

We present an analytical method which enables one to find the exact spatial dependence of the indirect RKKY interaction between the localized moments via the conduction electrons for the arbitrary dimensionality $n$. The corresponding momentum dependence of the Lindhard function is exactly found for any $n$ as well. De...

In a recent Letter Balatsky and Salkola made their conclusion about the absence of localization in disordered d-wave superconductors exploiting the idea that strongly overlapping impurity states formed a network capable to provide the transport. We present here the correct estimate of hopping matrix elements between tw...

We have observed the metal-insulator transition in the strongly correlated insulator FeSi with the chemical substitution of Al at the Si site. The magnetic susceptibility, heat capacity, and field dependent conductivity are measured for Al concentrations ranging from 0 to 0.08. For concentrations greater than 0.01 we f...

Crossover between Luttinger and Fermi liquid behavior in weakly coupled metallic chains
cond-mat.str-el
We use higher-dimensional bosonization to study the normal state of electrons in weakly coupled metallic chains interacting with long-range Coulomb forces. Particular attention is paid to the crossover between Luttinger and Fermi liquid behavior as the interchain hopping is varied. Although in the physically interestin...

A Model for the Occurrence of Lock-ins in Holmium in c-axis Magnetic Fields

We introduce a novel interpretation of the sequence of commensurate lock-ins of the spiral wave vector, tau, observed in the helimagnetic phase of holmium in the presence of c-axis magnetic fields. This is the first successful model for the prediction of these lock-ins. We show that a model which combines a spin-slip m...

Conductance of a quantum wire: Landauer's approach versus Kubo formula
cond-mat.str-el
The transport in a pure one-dimensional quantum wire is investigated for any range of interactions. First, the wire is connected to measuring leads. The transmission of an incident electron is found to be perfect, and the conductance is not renormalized by the interactions. Either Landauer's approach or Kubo formula ca...

The bilayer Heisenberg antiferromagnet is known to exhibit a quantum-critical transition at a particular value of the inter-layer coupling. Using a new type of coherent state, appropriate to the special order parameter structure of the bilayer, we map the problem onto the quantum non-linear sigma model. It is found tha...

The experimental observation of a spin-gap in the antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 compound $CaV_4O_9$ has been attributed to the formation of a plaquette resonating-valence-bond (PRVB) state in the underlying 1/5-depleted square lattice. We construct a spin-1/2 model on the 1/5-depleted lattice for which the PRVB state can ...

Regularity of the deformation of the Fermi surface under short-range interactions is established for all contributions to the RPA self-energy (it is proven in an accompanying paper that the RPA graphs are the least regular contributions to the self-energy).

To check the reliability of the Majorana representation of quantum spin systems, we use it to compute the ground state energy of an antiferromagnetic spin 1/2 chain to one loop order. We find a very small one loop correction of the mean field energy and a discrepancy of >100% compared to the Bethe Ansatz result. We con...
