We describe a theoretical approach for finding spontaneously symmetry-broken electronic phases due to strong electronic interactions when using recently developed slave-particle (slave-boson) approaches based on occupation numbers. We describe why, to date, spontaneous symmetry breaking has proven difficult to achieve in such approaches. We then provide a total-energy based approach for introducing auxiliary symmetry breaking fields into the solution of the slave-particle problem that leads to lowered total energies for symmetry broken phases. We point out that not all slave-particle approaches yield to energy lowering: the slave-particle model being used must explicitly describe the degrees of freedom that break symmetry. Finally, our total energy approach permits us to greatly simplify the formalism used to achieve a self-consistent solution between spinon and slave modes while increasing numerical stability and greatly speeding up the calculations.

We introduce a set of generalized slave-particle models for extended Hubbard models that treat localized electronic correlations using slave-boson decompositions. Our models automatically include two slave-particle methods of recent interest, the slave-rotor and slave-spin methods, as well as a ladder of new intermediate models where one can choose which of the electronic degrees of freedom (e.g., spin or orbital labels) are treated as correlated degrees of freedom by the slave bosons. In addition, our method removes the aberrant behavior of the slave-rotor model at weak correlation strength by removing the contribution of unphysical states from the bosonic Hilbert space. The flexibility of our formalism permits one to separate and isolate the effect of correlations on the key degrees of freedom.
We derive rigorous bounds on the average momentum occupation numbers $langle n_{mathbf{k}sigma}rangle$ in the Hubbard and Kondo models in the ground state and at non-zero temperature ($T>0$) in the grand canonical ensemble. For the Hubbard model with $T>0$ our bound proves that, when interaction strength $ll k_B Tll$ Fermi energy, $langle n_{mathbf{k}sigma}rangle$ is guaranteed to be close to its value in a low temperature free fermion system. For the Kondo model with any $T>0$ our bound proves that $langle n_{mathbf{k}sigma}rangle$ tends to its non-interacting value in the infinite volume limit. In the ground state case our bounds instead show that $langle n_{mathbf{k}sigma}rangle$ approaches its non-interacting value as $mathbf{k}$ moves away from a certain surface in momentum space. For the Hubbard model at half-filling on a bipartite lattice, this surface coincides with the non-interacting Fermi surface. In the Supplemental Material we extend our results to some generaliz
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.
We show that Jastrow-Slater wave functions, in which a density-density Jastrow factor is applied onto an uncorrelated fermionic state, may possess long-range order even when all symmetries are preserved in the wave function. This fact is mainly related to the presence of a sufficiently strong Jastrow term (also including the case of full Gutzwiller projection, suitable for describing spin models). Selected examples are reported, including the spawning of Neel order and dimerization in spin systems, and the stabilization of charge and orbital order in itinerant electronic systems.
CeAlGe, a proposed type-II Weyl semimetal, orders antiferromagnetically below 5 K. Both a spin-flop and a spin-flip transitions to less than 1 $mu_B$/Ce are observed at 2 K below 30 kOe in the $M(H)$ ($bf{H}|bf{a}$ and $bf{b}$) and 4.3 kOe ($bf{H}|langle110rangle$) data, respectively, indicating a four-fold symmetry of the $M(H)$ along the principal directions in the tetragonal $it{ab}$-plane with $langle110rangle$ set of easy directions. However, anomalously robust and complex two-fold symmetry is observed in the angular dependence of resistivity and magnetic torque data in the magnetically ordered state once the field is swept in the $it{ab}$-plane. This two-fold symmetry is independent of temperature- and field-hystereses and suggests a magnetic phase transition that separates two different magnetic structures in the $it{ab}$-plane. The boundary of this magnetic phase transition can be tuned by different growth conditions.
