Drude weight ($D$) is a useful measure to distinguish a metal from an insulator. However, $D$ has not been justifiably estimated by the variation theory for long, since Millis and Coppersmith [Phys. Rev. B 43 (1991) 13770] pointed out that a variational wave function $Psi_Q$, which includes the key ingredient (doublon-holon binding effect) for a Mott transition, yields a positive $D$ (namely metallic) even in the Mott-insulating regime. We argue that, to obtain a correct $D$, an imaginary part must exist in the wave function. By introducing a configuration-dependent phase factor ${cal P}_theta$ to $Psi_Q$, Mott transitions are successfully represented by $D$ ($D=0$ for $U>U_{rm c}$) for a normal and $d$-wave pairing states; thereby, the problem of Millis and Coppersmith is settled. Generally, ${cal P}_theta$ plays a pivotal role in describing current-carrying states in regimes of Mott physics. On the other hand, we show using a perturbation theory, the one-body (mean-field) part of the wave function should be complex for band insulators such as antiferromagnetic states in hypercubic lattices.

We illustrate how finite-temperature charge and thermal Drude weights of one-dimensional systems can be obtained from the relaxation of initial states featuring global (left-right) gradients in the chemical potential or temperature. The approach is t
ested for spinless interacting fermions as well as for the Fermi-Hubbard model, and the behaviour in the vicinity of singular points (such as half filling or isotropic chains) is discussed. We present technical details on how to implement the calculation in practice using the density matrix renormalization group and show that the non-equilibrium dynamics is often less demanding to simulate numerically and features simpler finite-time transients than the corresponding linear response current correlators; thus, new parameter regimes can become accessible. As an application, we determine the thermal Drude weight of the Hubbard model for temperatures T which are an order of magnitude smaller than those reached in the equilibrium approach. This allows us to demonstrate that at low T and half filling, thermal transport is successively governed by spin excitations and described quantitatively by the Bethe ansatz Drude weight of the Heisenberg chain.
We introduce the notion of superstructure Mottness to describe the Mott and Wigner-Mott transition in doped strongly correlated electron systems at commensurate filling fractions away from one electron per site. We show that superstructure Mottness e
merges in an inhomogeneous electron system when the superstructure contains an odd number of electrons per supercell. We argue that superstructure Mottness exists even in the absence of translation symmetry breaking by a superlattice, provided that the extended or intersite Coulomb interaction is strong. In the latter case, superstructure Mottness offers a unifying framework for the Mott and Wigner physics and a nonperturbative, strong coupling description of the Wigner-Mott transition. We support our proposal by studying a minimal single-band ionic Hubbard $t$-$U$-$V$-$Delta$ model with nearest neighbor Coulomb repulsion $V$ and a two-sublattice ionic potential $Delta$. The model is mapped onto a Hubbard model with two effective ``orbitals representing the two sites within the supercell, the intra and interorbital Coulomb repulsion $U$ and $U^prime sim V$, and a crystal field splitting $Delta$. Charge order on the original lattice corresponds to orbital order. Developing a cluster Gutzwiller approximation, we study the effects and the interplay between $V$ and $Delta$ on the Mott and Wigner-Mott transitions at quarter-filling. We provide the mechanism by which the superlattice potential enhances the correlation effects and the tendency towards local moment formation, construct and elucidate the phase diagram in the unifying framework of superstructure Mottness.
We analyze the electronic properties of interacting crystal field split three band systems. Using a rotationally invariant slave boson approach we analyze the behavior of the electronic mass renormalization as a function of the intralevel repulsion $
U$, the Hunds coupling $J$, the crystal field splitting, and the number of electrons per site $n$. We first focus on the case in which two of the bands are identical and the levels of the third one are shifted by $Delta>0$ with respect to the former. We find an increasing quasiparticle mass differentiation between the bands, for system away from half-filling ($n=3$), as the Hubbard interaction $U$ is increased. This leads to orbital selective Mott transitions where either the higher energy band (for $4>n>3$) or the lower energy degenerate bands ($2<n<3$) become insulating for $U$ larger than a critical interaction $U_{c}(n)$. Away from the half-filled case $|n-3|gtrsim 0.3$ there is a wide range of parameters for $U<U_c(n)$ where the system presents a Hunds metal phase with the physics dominated by the local high spin multiplets. Finally, we study the fate of the $n=2$ Hunds metal as the energy splitting between orbitals is increased for different possible crystal distortions. We find a strong sensitivity of the Hunds metal regime to crystal fields due to the opposing effects of $J$ and the crystal field splittings on the charge distribution between the bands.
Superconducting and antiferroquadrupolar (AFQ) transitions in a Pr-based compound PrRh2Zn20 have been found to occur simultaneously at Tc=TQ=0.06 K. The superconducting transition manifests itself by zero resistance and large diamagnetic susceptibili
ty. The specific heat exhibits a Schottky anomaly peaking at 14 K and magnetization curves measured at 2 K show anisotropic behaviors. The analysis of these data indicates that the crystalline electric field (CEF) ground state of the trivalent Pr ion is the non-Kramers Gamma3 doublet with the quadrupolar degrees of freedom. A sharp peak in the specific heat at 0.06 K has been attributed not to the superconducting transition but to the AFQ transition because the ordering temperature TQ decreases in B || [100] but increases in B || [110] and B || [111] with increasing B up to 6 T. This anisotropic behavior of TQ(B) can be well explained by a two-sublattice mean-field calculation, which corroborates the AFQ ordered state below TQ. The entropy release at TQ is only 10% of Rln2 expected for the Gamma3 doublet, suggesting possible interplay between the quadrupolar degrees of freedom and the superconductivity.
We study the interplay of crystal field splitting and Hund coupling in a two-orbital model which captures the essential physics of systems with two electrons or holes in the e_g shell. We use single site dynamical mean field theory with a recently de
veloped impurity solver which is able to access strong couplings and low temperatures. The fillings of the orbitals and the location of phase boundaries are computed as a function of Coulomb repulsion, exchange coupling and crystal field splitting. We find that the Hund coupling can drive the system into a novel Mott insulating phase with vanishing orbital susceptibility. Away from half-filling, the crystal field splitting can induce an orbital selective Mott state.
