In a recent letter [D. Poletti et al., EPL 93, 37008 (2011)] a model of attractive spinless fermions on the honeycomb lattice at half filling has been studied by mean-field theory, where distinct homogenous phases at rather large attraction strength $V>3.36$, separated by (topological) phase transitions, have been predicted. In this comment we argue that without additional interactions the ground states in these phases are not stable against phase separation. We determine the onset of phase separation at half filling $V_{ps}approx 1.7$ by means of infinite projected entangled-pair states (iPEPS) and exact diagonalization.

Ultracold Fermi gases trapped in honeycomb optical lattices provide an intriguing scenario, where relativistic quantum electrodynamics can be tested. Here, we generalize this system to non-Abelian quantum electrodynamics, where massless Dirac fermion
s interact with effective non-Abelian gauge fields. We show how in this setup a variety of topological phase transitions occur, which arise due to massless fermion pair production events, as well as pair annihilation events of two kinds: spontaneous and strongly-interacting induced. Moreover, such phase transitions can be controlled and characterized in optical lattice experiments.
In addition to low-energy spin fluctuations, which distinguish them from band insulators, Mott insulators often possess orbital degrees of freedom when crystal-field levels are partially filled. While in most situations spins and orbitals develop lon
g-range order, the possibility for the ground state to be a quantum liquid opens new perspectives. In this paper, we provide clear evidence that the SU(4) symmetric Kugel-Khomskii model on the honeycomb lattice is a quantum spin-orbital liquid. The absence of any form of symmetry breaking - lattice or SU(N) - is supported by a combination of semiclassical and numerical approaches: flavor-wave theory, tensor network algorithm, and exact diagonalizations. In addition, all properties revealed by these methods are very accurately accounted for by a projected variational wave-function based on the pi-flux state of fermions on the honeycomb lattice at 1/4-filling. In that state, correlations are algebraic because of the presence of a Dirac point at the Fermi level, suggesting that the symmetric Kugel-Khomskii model on the honeycomb lattice is an algebraic quantum spin-orbital liquid. This model provides a good starting point to understand the recently discovered spin-orbital liquid behavior of Ba_3CuSb_2O_9. The present results also suggest to choose optical lattices with honeycomb geometry in the search for quantum liquids in ultra-cold four-color fermionic atoms.
Quantum phase transitions in the Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice are investigated in the variational cluster approximation. The critical interaction for the paramagnetic to antiferromagnetic phase transition is found to be in remarkable agreem
ent with a recent large-scale quantum Monte Carlo simulation. Calculated staggered magnetization increases continuously with $U$ and thus we find the phase transition is of a second order. We also find that the semimetal-insulator transition occurs at infinitesimally small interaction and thus a paramagnetic insulating state appears in a wide interaction range. A crossover behavior of electrons from itinerant to localized character found in the calculated single-particle excitation spectra and short-range spin correlation functions indicates that an effective spin model for the paramagnetic insulating phase is far from a simple Heisenberg model with a nearest-neighbor exchange interaction.
A numerical diagonalization technique with canonical Monte-Carlo simulation algorithm is used to study the phase transitions from low temperature (ordered) phase to high temperature (disordered) phase of spinless Falicov-Kimball model on a triangular
lattice with correlated hopping ($t^{prime}$). It is observed that the low temperature ordered phases (i.e. regular, bounded and segregated) persist up to a finite critical temperature ($T_{c}$). In addition, we observe that the critical temperature decreases with increasing the correlated hopping in regular and bounded phases whereas it increases in the segregated phase. Single and multi peak patterns seen in the temperature dependence of specific heat ($C_v$) and charge susceptibility ($chi$) for different values of parameters like on-site Coulomb correlation strength ($U$), correlated hopping ($t^{prime}$) and filling of localized electrons ($n_{f}$) are also discussed.
Recently, Arcon et al. reported ESR studies of the polymer phase (PP) of Na_{2}Rb_{0.3}Cs_{0.7}C_{60} fulleride. It was claimed that this phase is a quasi-one-dimensional metal above 45 K with a spin-gap below this temperature and has antiferromagnet
ic(AF) order below 15 K, that is evidenced by antiferromagnetic resonance(AFMR). For the understanding of the rich physics of fullerides it is important to identify the different ground states. ESR has proven to be a useful technique for this purpose. However, since it is a very sensitive probe, it can detect a multitude of spin species and it is not straightforward to identify their origin, especially in a system like Na_{2}Rb_{x}Cs_{1-x}C_{60} with three dopants, when one part of the sample polymerizes but the majority does not. The observation of a low dimensional instability in the single bonded PP would be a novel and important result. Nevertheless, in this Comment we argue that Na_{2}Rb_{0.3}Cs_{0.7}C_{60} is not a good choice for this purpose since, as we show, the samples used by Arcon et al. are inhomogeneous. We point out that recent results on the PP of Na_{2}CsC_{60} contradicts the observation of low dimensional instabilities in Na_{2}Rb_{0.3}Cs_{0.7}C_{60}.
