An extrapolation method for shell model calculations
We propose a new shell model method, combining the Lanczos digonalization and
extrapolation method. This method can give accurate shell model energy from a
series of shell model calculations with various truncation spaces, in a
well-controlled manner. Its feasibility is demonstrated by taking the fp shell
calculations.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
Thermodynamic Relations in Correlated Systems
Several useful thermodynamic relations are derived for metal-insulator
transitions, as generalizations of the Clausius-Clapeyron and Eherenfest
theorems. These relations hold in any spatial dimensions and at any
temperatures. First, they relate several thermodynamic quantities to the slope
of the metal-insulator phase boundary drawn in the plane of the chemical
potential and the Coulomb interaction in the phase diagram of the Hubbard
model. The relations impose constraints on the critical properties of the Mott
transition. These thermodynamic relations are indeed confirmed to be satisfied
in the cases of the one- and two-dimensional Hubbard models. One of these
relations yields that at the continuous Mott transition with a diverging charge
compressibility, the doublon susceptibility also diverges. The constraints on
the shapes of the phase boundary containing a first-order metal-insulator
transition at finite temperatures are clarified based on the thermodynamic
relations. For example, the first-order phase boundary is parallel to the
temperature axis asymptotically in the zero temperature limit. The
applicability of the thermodynamic relations are not restricted only to the
metal-insulator transition of the Hubbard model, but also hold in correlated
systems with any types of phases in general. We demonstrate such examples in an
extended Hubbard model with intersite Coulomb repulsion containing the charge
order phase.Comment: 10 pages, 9 figure
What is Minimal Model of 3He Adsorbed on Graphite? -Importance of Density Fluctuations in 4/7 Registered Solid -
We show theoretically that the second layer of 3He adsorbed on graphite and
solidified at 4/7 of the first-layer density is close to the fluid-solid
boundary with substantial density fluctuations on the third layer. The solid
shows a translational symmetry breaking as in charge-ordered insulators of
electronic systems. We construct a minimal model beyond the multiple-exchange
Heisenberg model. An unexpectedly large magnetic field required for the
measured saturation of magnetization is well explained by the density
fluctuations. The emergence of quantum spin liquid is understood from the same
mechanism as in the Hubbard model and in \kappa-(ET)_2Cu_2(CN)_3 near the Mott
transitions.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figure
On Deriving Nested Calculi for Intuitionistic Logics from Semantic Systems
This paper shows how to derive nested calculi from labelled calculi for propositional intuitionistic logic and first-order intuitionistic logic with constant domains, thus connecting the general results for labelled calculi with the more refined formalism of nested sequents. The extraction of nested calculi from labelled calculi obtains via considerations pertaining to the elimination of structural rules in labelled derivations. Each aspect of the extraction process is motivated and detailed, showing that each nested calculus inherits favorable proof-theoretic properties from its associated labelled calculus
Fate of Quasiparticle at Mott Transition and Interplay with Lifshitz Transition Studied by Correlator Projection Method
Filling-control metal-insulator transition on the two-dimensional Hubbard
model is investigated by using the correlator projection method, which takes
into account momentum dependence of the free energy beyond the dynamical
mean-field theory. The phase diagram of metals and Mott insulators is analyzed.
Lifshitz transitions occur simultaneously with metal-insulator transitions at
large Coulomb repulsion. On the other hand, they are separated each other for
lower Coulomb repulsion, where the phase sandwiched by the Lifshitz and
metal-insulator transitions appears to show violation of the Luttinger sum
rule. Through the metal-insulator transition, quasiparticles retain nonzero
renormalization factor and finite quasi-particle weight in the both sides of
the transition. This supports that the metal-insulator transition is caused not
by the vanishing renormalization factor but by the relative shift of the Fermi
level into the Mott gap away from the quasiparticle band, in sharp contrast
with the original dynamical mean-field theory. Charge compressibility diverges
at the critical end point of the first-order Lifshitz transition at finite
temperatures. The origin of the divergence is ascribed to singular momentum
dependence of the quasiparticle dispersion.Comment: 24 pages including 10 figure
Gossamer Superconductor, Mott Insulator, and Resonating Valence Bond State in Correlated Electron Systems
Gutzwiller variational method is applied to an effective two-dimensional
Hubbard model to examine the recently proposed gossamer superconductor by
Laughlin. The ground state at half filled electron density is a gossamer
superconductor for smaller intra-site Coulomb repulsion U and a Mott insulator
for larger U. The gossamer superconducting state is similar to the resonant
valence bond superconducting state, except that the chemical potential is
approximately pinned at the mid of the two Hubbard bands away from the half
filled
Variational Monte Carlo Study of Electron Differentiation around Mott Transition
We study ground-state properties of the two-dimensional Hubbard model at half
filling by improving variational Monte Carlo method and by implementing
quantum-number projection and multi-variable optimization. The improved
variational wave function enables a highly accurate description of the Mott
transition and strong fluctuations in metals. We clarify how anomalous metals
appear near the first-order Mott transition. The double occupancy stays nearly
constant as a function of the on-site Coulomb interaction in the metallic phase
near the Mott transition in agreement with the previous unbiased results. This
unconventional metal at half filling is stabilized by a formation of
``electron-like pockets'' coexisting with an arc structure, which leads to a
prominent differentiation of electrons in momentum space. An abrupt collapse of
the ``pocket'' and ``arc'' drives the first-order Mott transition.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Quantum Mott Transition and Multi-Furcating Criticality
Phenomenological theory of the Mott transition is presented. When the
critical temperature of the Mott transition is much higher than the quantum
degeneracy temperature, the transition is essentially described by the Ising
universality class. Below the critical temperature, phase separation or
first-order transition occurs. However, if the critical point is involved in
the Fermi degeneracy region, a marginal quantum critical point appears at zero
temperature. The originally single Mott critical point generates subsequent
many unstable fixed points through various Fermi surface instabilities induced
by the Mott criticality characterized by the diverging charge susceptibility or
doublon susceptibility. This occurs in marginal quantum-critical region.
Charge, magnetic and superconducting instabilitites compete severely under
these critical charge fluctuations. The quantum Mott transition triggers
multi-furcating criticality, which goes beyond the conventional concept of
multicriticality in quantum phase transitions. Near the quantum Mott
transition, the criticality generically drives growth of inhomogeneous
structure in the momentum space with singular points of flat dispersion on the
Fermi surface. The singular points determine the quantum dynamics of the Mott
transition by the dynamical exponent . We argue that many of
filling-control Mott transitions are classified to this category. Recent
numerical results as well as experimental results on strongly correlated
systems including transition metal oxides, organic materials and He layer
adsorbed on a substrate are consistently analyzed especially in two-dimensional
systems.Comment: 28 pages including 2 figure
Spectral functions in itinerant electron systems with geometrical frustration
The Hubbard model with geometrical frustration is investigated in a metallic
phase close to half-filling. We calculate the single particle spectral function
for the triangular lattice within dynamical cluster approximation, which is
further combined with non-crossing approximation and fluctuation exchange
approximation to treat the resulting cluster Anderson model. It is shown that
frustration due to non-local correlations suppresses short-range
antiferromagnetic fluctuations and thereby assists the formation of heavy
quasi-particles near half-filling.Comment: 4 pages, 5 eps figure
Exact diagonalization study of Mott transition in the Hubbard model on an anisotropic triangular lattice
We study Mott transition in the two-dimensional Hubbard model on an
anisotropic triangular lattice. We use the Lanczos exact diagonalization of
finite-size clusters up to eighteen sites, and calculate Drude weight, charge
gap, double occupancy and spin structure factor. We average these physical
quantities over twisted boundary conditions in order to reduce finite-size
effects. We find a signature of the Mott transition in the dependence of the
Drude weight and/or charge gap on the system size. We also examine the
possibility of antiferromagnetic order from the spin structure factor.
Combining these information, we propose a ground-state phase diagram which has
a nonmagnetic insulating phase between a metallic phase and an insulating phase
with antiferromagnetic order. Finally, we compare our results with those
reported in the previous theoretical studies, and discuss the possibility of an
unconventional insulating state.Comment: 10 pages, 11 figure
