We present an infinite-dimensional lattice of two-by-two plaquettes, the quadruple Bethe lattice, with Hubbard interaction and solve it exactly by means of the cluster dynamical mean-field theory. It exhibits a $d$-wave superconducting phase that is related to a highly degenerate point in the phase diagram of the isolated plaquette at that the groundstates of the particle number sectors $N=2,3,4$ cross. The superconducting gap is formed by the renormalized lower Slater peak of the correlated, hole-doped Mott insulator. We engineer parts of the interaction and find that pair hoppings between $X/Y$-momenta are the main two-particle correlations of the superconducting phase. The suppression of the superconductivity in the overdoped regime is caused by the diminishing of pair hopping correlations and in the underdoped regime by charge blocking. The optimal doping is $sim 0.15$ at which the underlying normal state shows a Lifshitz transition. The model allows for different intra- and inter-plaquette hoppings that we use to disentangle superconductivity from antiferromagnetism as the latter requires larger inter-plaquette hoppings.
A generalization of the Mattis-Nam model (J.Math.Phys., 13 (1972), 1185), which takes into account a correlated hopping and pairing of electrons, is proposed, its exact solution is obtained. In the framework of the model the stability of the zero energy Majorana fermions localized at the boundaries is studied in the chain in which electrons interact through both the on-site Hubbard interaction and the correlated hopping and pairing. The ground-state phase diagram of the model is calculated, the region of existence of topological states is determined. It is shown that low-energy excitations destroy bonds between electrons in the chain, leading to an insulator state.
In this paper we introduce an exactly solvable Kondo lattice model without any fine-tuning local gauge symmetry. This model describes itinerant electrons interplaying with a localized magnetic moment via only longitudinal Kondo exchange. Its solvability results from conservation of the localized moment at each site, and is valid for arbitrary lattice geometry and electron filling. A case study on square lattice shows that the ground state is a N{e}el antiferromagnetic insulator at half-filling. At finite temperature, paramagnetic phases including a Mott insulator and correlated metal are found. The former is a melting antiferromagnetic insulator with a strong short-range magnetic fluctuation, while the latter corresponds to a Fermi liquid-like metal. Monte Carlo simulation and theoretical analysis demonstrate that the transition from paramagnetic phases into the antiferromagnetic insulator is a continuous $2D$ Ising transition. Away from half-filling, patterns of spin stripes (inhomogeneous magnetic order) at weak coupling, and phase separation at strong coupling are predicted. With established Ising antiferromagnetism and spin stripe orders, our model may be relevant to a heavy fermion compound CeCo(In$_{1-x}$Hg$_{x}$)$_{5}$ and novel quantum liquid-crystal order in a hidden order compound URu$_{2}$Si$_{2}$.
We address the question whether observables of an exactly solvable model of electrons coupled to (optical) phonons relax into large time stationary state values and investigate if the asymptotic expectation values can be computed using a stationary density matrix. Two initial nonequilibrium situations are considered. A sudden quench of the electron-phonon coupling, starting from the noninteracting canonical equilibrium at temperature T in the electron as well as in the phonon subsystems, leads to a rather simple dynamics. A richer time evolution emerges if the initial state is taken as the product of the phonon vacuum and the filled Fermi sea supplemented by a highly excited additional electron. Our model has a natural set of constants of motion, with as many elements as degrees of freedom. In accordance with earlier studies of such type of models we find that expectation values which become stationary can be described by the density matrix of a generalized Gibbs ensemble which differs from that of a canonical ensemble. For the model at hand it appears to be evident that the eigenmode occupancy operators should be used in the construction of the stationary density matrix.
We have proposed an exactly solvable quantum spin-3/2 model on a square lattice. Its ground state is a quantum spin liquid with a half integer spin per unit cell. The fermionic excitations are gapless with a linear dispersion, while the topological vison excitations are gapped. Moreover, the massless Dirac fermions are stable. Thus, this model is, to the best of our knowledge, the first exactly solvable model of half-integer spins whose ground state is an algebraic spin liquid.
We introduce in this paper an exact solvable BCS-Hubbard model in arbitrary dimensions. The model describes a p-wave BCS superconductor with equal spin pairing moving on a bipartite (cubic, square etc.) lattice with on site Hubbard interaction $U$. We show that the model becomes exactly solvable for arbitrary $U$ when the BCS pairing amplitude $Delta$ equals the hopping amplitude $t$. The nature of the solution is described in detail in this paper. The construction of the exact solution is parallel to the exactly solvable Kitaev honeycomb model for $S=1/2$ quantum spins and can be viewed as a generalization of Kitaevs construction to $S=1/2$ interacting lattice fermions. The BCS-Hubbard model discussed in this paper is just an example of a large class of exactly solvable lattice fermion models that can be constructed similarly.
