We study the spin diffusion and spin conductivity in the square lattice Hubbard model by using the finite-temperature Lanczos method. We show that the spin diffusion behaves differently from the charge diffusion and has a nonmonotonic $T$ dependence. This is due to a progressive liberation of charges that contribute to spin transport and enhance it beyond that active at low temperature due to the Heisenberg exchange. We further show that going away from half-filling and zero magnetization increases the spin diffusion, but that the increase is insufficient to reconcile the difference between the model calculations and the recent measurements on cold-atoms.

We investigate the spin Seebeck coefficient $S_s$ in the square lattice Hubbard model at high temperatures of relevance to cold-atom measurements. We solve the model with the finite-temperature Lanczos and with the dynamical mean-field theory methods and find they give similar results in the considered regime. $S_s$ exceeds the atomic Heikes estimates and the Kelvin entropic estimates drastically. We analyze the behavior in terms of a mapping onto the problem of a doped attractive model and derive an aproximate expression that allows relating the enhancement of $S_s$ to distinct scattering of the spin-majority and spin-minority excitations. Our analysis reveals the limitations of entropic interpretations of Seebeck coefficient even in the high-temperature regime. Large values of $S_s$ could be observed on optical lattices and might need to be taken into account to properly explain the measured values of spin diffusion.
Using determinant quantum Monte Carlo (DQMC) simulations, we systematically study the doping dependence of the crossover from one to two dimensions and its impact on the magnetic properties of the Hubbard model. A square lattice of chains is used, in which the dimensionality can be tuned by varying the interchain coupling $t_perp$. The dynamical spin structure factor and static quantities, such as the static spin susceptibility and nearest-neighbor spin correlation function, are characterized in the one- and two-dimensional limits as a benchmark. When the dimensionality is tuned between these limits, the magnetic properties, while evolving smoothly from one to two dimensions, drastically change regardless of the doping level. This suggests that the spin excitations in the two-dimensional Hubbard model, even in the heavily doped case, cannot be explained using the spinon picture known from one dimension. The DQMC calculations are complemented by cluster perturbation theory studies to form a more complete picture of how the crossover occurs as a function of doping and how doped holes impact magnetic order.
We consider the repulsive Hubbard model in one dimension and show the different mechanisms present in the charge and spin separation phenomena for an electron, at half filling and bellow half filling. We also comment recent experimental results.
The $2d$ Hubbard model with nearest-neighbour hopping on the square lattice and an average of one electron per site is known to undergo an extended crossover from metallic to insulating behavior driven by proliferating antiferromagnetic correlations. We study signatures of this crossover in spin and charge correlation functions and present results obtained with controlled accuracy using diagrammatic Monte Carlo in the range of parameters amenable to experimental verification with ultracold atoms in optical lattices. The qualitative changes in charge and spin correlations associated with the crossover are observed at well-separated temperature scales, which encase the intermediary regime of non-Fermi-liquid character, where local magnetic moments are formed and non-local fluctuations in both channels are essential.
In the nested limit of the spin-fermion model for the cuprates, one-dimensional physics in the form of half-filled two-leg ladders emerges. We show that the renormalization group flow of the corresponding ladder is towards the d-Mott phase, a gapped spin-liquid with short-ranged d-wave pairing correlations, and reveals an intermediate SO(5)$times$SO(3) symmetry. We use the results of the renormalization group in combination with a memory-function approach to calculate the optical conductivity of the spin-fermion model in the high-frequency regime, where processes within the hot spot region dominate the transport. We argue that umklapp processes play a major role. For finite temperatures, we determine the resistivity in the zero-frequency (dc) limit. Our results show an approximate linear temperature dependence of the resistivity and a conductivity that follows a non-universal power law. A comparison to experimental data supports our assumption that the conductivity is dominated by the antinodal contribution above the pseudogap.
