The quantum phase diagram of the Hubbard chain with correlated hopping is accurately determined through jumps in $pi$ in the charge and spin Berry phases. The nature of each thermodynamic phase, and the existence of charge and spin gaps, is confirmed by calculating correlation functions and other fundamental quantities using numerical methods, and symmetry arguments. Remarkably we find striking similarities between the stable phases for moderate on-site Coulomb repulsion: spin Peierls, spin-density-wave and triplet superconductor, and those measured in (TMTSF)$_2$X.

The ground state phase diagram of the 1D Hubbard chain with pair-hopping interaction is studied. The analysis of the model is performed using the continuum-limit field theory approach and exact diagonalization studies. At half-filling the phase diagram is shown to consist of two superconducting states with Cooper pair center-of-mass momentum Q=0 (BCS-eta_0 phase) and Q=pi (eta_pi-phase) and four insulating phases corresponding to the Mott antiferromagnet, the Peierls dimerized phase, the charge-density-wave (CDW) insulator as well as an unconventional insulating phase characterized by the coexistence of a CDW and a bond-located staggered magnetization. Away from half-filling the phase diagram consists of the superconducting BCS-eta_0 and eta_pi phases and the metallic Luttinger-liquid phase. The BCS-eta_0 phase exhibits smooth crossover from a weak-coupling BCS type to a strong coupling local-pair regime. The eta_pi phase shows properties of the doublon (zero size Cooper pair) superconductor with Cooper pair center-of-mass momentum Q=pi. The transition into the eta_pi- paired state corresponds to an abrupt change in the groundstate structure. After the transition the conduction band is completely destroyed and a new eta_pi-pair band corresponding to the strongly correlated doublon motion is created.
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.
Bosonic lattice systems with non-trivial interactions represent an intriguing platform to study exotic phases of matter. Here, we study the effects of extended correlated hopping processes in a system of bosons trapped in a lattice geometry. The interplay between single particle tunneling terms, correlated hopping processes and on-site repulsion is studied by means of a combination of exact diagonalization, strong coupling expansion and cluster mean field theory. We identify a rich ground state phase diagram where, apart the usual Mott and superfluid states, superfluid phases with interesting clustering properties occur.
The recently introduced topological quantum chemistry (TQC) framework has provided a description of universal topological properties of all possible band insulators in all space groups based on crystalline unitary symmetries and time reversal. While this formalism filled the gap between the mathematical classification and the practical diagnosis of topological materials, an obvious limitation is that it only applies to weakly interacting systems-which can be described within band theory. It is an open question to which extent this formalism can be generalized to correlated systems that can exhibit symmetry protected topological phases which are not adiabatically connected to any band insulator. In this work we address the many facettes of this question by considering the specific example of a Hubbard diamond chain. This model features a Mott insulator, a trivial insulating phase and an obstructed atomic limit phase. Here we discuss the nature of the Mott insulator and determine the phase diagram and topology of the interacting model with infinite density matrix renormalization group calculations, variational Monte Carlo simulations and with many-body topological invariants. We then proceed by considering a generalization of the TQC formalism to Greens functions combined with the concept of topological Hamiltonian to identify the topological nature of the phases, using cluster perturbation theory to calculate the Greens functions. The results are benchmarked with the above determined phase diagram and we discuss the applicability and limitations of the approach and its possible extensions.
The extended Hubbard model with an attractive density-density interaction, positive pair hopping, or both, is shown to host topological phases, with a doubly degenerate entanglement spectrum and interacting edge spins. This constitutes a novel instance of topological order which emerges from interactions. When the interaction terms combine in a charge-SU(2) symmetric fashion, a novel partially polarized pseudospin phase appears, in which the topological features of the spin degrees of freedom coexist with long-range $eta$-wave superconductivity. Thus, our system provides an example of an interplay between spontaneous symmetry breaking and symmetry-protected topological order that leads to novel and unexpected properties.
