In this Letter we study the periodic Anderson model, employing both the slave-boson and the X-boson approaches in the mean field approximation. We investigate the breakdown of the slave-boson at intermediate temperatures when the total occupation number of particles Nt = Nf + Nc is keep constant, where Nf and Nc are respectively the occupation numbers of the localized and conduction electrons, and we show that the high-temperature limit of the slave-boson is Nf = Nc = Nt /2. We also compare the results of the two approaches in the Kondo limit and we show that at low-temperatures the X-boson exhibits a phase transition, from the Kondo heavy fermion (K-HF) regime to a local moment magnetic regime (LMM).

We develop an efficient approach for computing two-particle response functions and interaction vertices for multiorbital strongly correlated systems based on fluctuation around rotationally-invariant slave-boson saddle-point. The method is applied to the degenerate three-orbital Hubbard-Kanamori model for investigating the origin of the s-wave orbital antisymmetric spin-triplet superconductivity in the Hunds metal regime, previously found in the dynamical mean-field theory studies. By computing the pairing interaction considering the particle-particle and the particle-hole scattering channels, we identify the mechanism leading to the pairing instability around Hunds metal crossover arises from the particle-particle channel, containing the local electron pair fluctuation between different particle-number sectors of the atomic Hilbert space. On the other hand, the particle-hole spin fluctuations induce the s-wave pairing instability before entering the Hunds regime. Our approach paves the way for investigating the pairing mechanism in realistic correlated materials.
Using a rotationally invariant version of the slave-boson approach in spin space we analyze the stability of stripe phases with large unit cells in the two-dimensional Hubbard model. This approach allows one to treat strong electron correlations in the stripe phases relevant in the low doping regime, and gives results representative of the thermodynamic limit. Thereby we resolve the longstanding controversy concerning the role played by the kinetic energy in stripe phases. While the transverse hopping across the domain walls yields the largest kinetic energy gain in the case of the insulating stripes with one hole per site, the holes propagating along the domain walls stabilize the metallic vertical stripes with one hole per two sites, as observed in the cuprates. We also show that a finite next-nearest neighbor hopping $t$ can tip the energy balance between the filled diagonal and half-filled vertical stripes, which might explain a change in the spatial orientation of stripes observed in the high $T_c$ cuprates at the doping $xsimeq 1/16$.
We present detailed benchmark ground-state calculations of the one- and two-dimensional Hubbard model utilizing the cluster extensions of the rotationally invariant slave-boson (RISB) mean-field theory and the density matrix embedding theory (DMET). Our analysis shows that the overall accuracy and the performance of these two methods are very similar. Furthermore, we propose a unified computational framework that allows us to implement both of these techniques on the same footing. This provides us with a new line of interpretation and paves the ways for developing systematically new generalizations of these complementary approaches.
We apply the dynamical large-$N$ Schwinger boson technique as an impurity solver for the dynamical mean-field theory calculations of the Kondo lattice model. Our approach captures the hybridization physics through the DMFT self-consistency that is missing in the pure Schwinger boson calculations with independent electron baths. The resulting thermodynamic and transport properties are in qualitative agreement with more rigorous calculations and give the correct crossover behavior over a wide temperature range from the local moment regime to the Fermi liquid. Our method may be further extended to combine with the density functional theory for efficient material calculations.
We derive an exact operatorial reformulation of the rotational invariant slave boson method and we apply it to describe the orbital differentiation in strongly correlated electron systems starting from first principles. The approach enables us to treat strong electron correlations, spin-orbit coupling and crystal field splittings on the same footing by exploiting the gauge invariance of the mean-field equations. We apply our theory to the archetypical nuclear fuel UO$_2$, and show that the ground state of this system displays a pronounced orbital differention within the $5f$ manifold, with Mott localized $Gamma_8$ and extended $Gamma_7$ electrons.
