Charge inhomogeneity coexisting with large Fermi surfaces
We discuss how stripes in cuprates can be compatible with a Fermi-liquid-like
Fermi surface and, at the same time, they give rise to a one-dimensional-like
pseudo Fermi surface in the momentum distribution function.Comment: Proceedings of the M2S conference, July 2006, Dresden; 2 pages, 1

Fermi surface dichotomy on systems with fluctuating order
We investigate the effect of a dynamical collective mode coupled with
quasiparticles at specific wavevectors only. This coupling describes the
incipient tendency to order and produces shadow spectral features at high
energies, while leaving essentially untouched the low energy quasiparticles.
This allows to interpret seemingly contradictory experiments on underdoped
cuprates, where many converging evidences indicate the presence of charge
(stripe or checkerboard) order, which remains instead elusive in the Fermi
surface obtained from angle-resolved photoemission experiments.Comment: 11 pages, 10 figure
Phonon renormalization from local and transitive electron-lattice couplings in strongly correlated systems
Within the time-dependent Gutzwiller approximation (TDGA) applied to
Holstein- and SSH-Hubbard models we study the influence of electron
correlations on the phonon self-energy. For the local Holstein coupling we find
that the phonon frequency renormalization gets weakened upon increasing the
onsite interaction for all momenta. In contrast, correlations can enhance
the phonon frequency shift for small wave-vectors in the SSH-Hubbard model.
Moreover the TDGA applied to the latter model provides a mechanism which leads
to phonon frequency corrections at intermediate momenta due to the coupling
with double occupancy fluctuations. Both models display a shift of the
nesting-induced to a instability when the onsite interaction becomes
sufficiently strong and thus establishing phase separation as a generic
phenomenon of strongly correlated electron-phonon coupled systems.Comment: 14 pages, 11 figure
Exotic quantum spin models in spin-orbit-coupled Mott insulators
We study cold atoms in an optical lattice with synthetic spin-orbit coupling
in the Mott-insulator regime. We calculate the parameters of the corresponding
tight-binding model using Peierls substitution and "localized Wannier states
method" and derive the low-energy spin Hamiltonian for fermions and bosons. The
spin Hamiltonian is a combination of Heisenberg model, quantum compass model
and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions and it has a rich classical phase
diagram with collinear, spiral and vortex phases.Comment: 5 pages, 3 color figure
Charge instabilities and electron-phonon interaction in the Hubbard-Holstein model
We consider the Hubbard-Holstein model in the adiabatic limit to investigate
the effects of electron-electron interactions on the electron-phonon coupling.
To this aim we compute at any momentum and filling the static charge
susceptibility of the Hubbard model within the Gutzwiller approximation and we
find that electron-electron correlations effectively screen the electron
coupling to the lattice. This screening is more effective at large momenta and,
as a consequence, the charge-density wave phase due to the usual Peierls
instability of the Fermi surface momenta is replaced by a phase-separation
instability when the correlations are sizable.Comment: 15 pages, 12 figure

The composite operator method route to the 2D Hubbard model and the cuprates
In this review paper, we illustrate a possible route to obtain a reliable solution of the 2D Hubbard model and an explanation for some of the unconventional behaviours of underdoped high-T_c cuprate superconductors within the framework of the composite operator method. The latter is described exhaustively in its fundamental philosophy, various ingredients and robust machinery to clarify the reasons behind its successful applications to many diverse strongly correlated systems, controversial phenomenologies and puzzling materials
