Title: The Hubbard Model
The repulsive Hubbard model has been immensely useful in understanding strongly correlated electron systems and serves as the paradigmatic model of the field. Despite its simplicity, it exhibits a strikingly rich phenomenology reminiscent of that observed in quantum materials. Nevertheless, much of its phase diagram remains controversial. Here, we review a subset of what is known about the Hubbard model based on exact results or controlled approximate solutions in various limits, for which there is a suitable small parameter. Our primary focus is on the ground state properties of the system on various lattices in two spatial dimensions, although both lower and higher dimensions are discussed as well. Finally, we highlight some of the important outstanding open questions.  more » « less

    A bstract We study operators in the rank- j totally symmetric representation of O ( N ) in the critical O ( N ) model in arbitrary dimension d , in the limit of large N and large charge j with j/N ≡ $$ \hat{j} $$ j ̂ fixed. The scaling dimensions of the operators in this limit may be obtained by a semiclassical saddle point calculation. Using the standard Hubbard-Stratonovich description of the critical O ( N ) model at large N , we solve the relevant saddle point equation and determine the scaling dimensions as a function of d and $$ \hat{j} $$ j ̂ , finding agreement with all existing results in various limits. In 4 < d < 6, we observe that the scaling dimension of the large charge operators becomes complex above a critical value of the ratio j/N , signaling an instability of the theory in that range of d . Finally, we also derive results for the correlation functions involving two “heavy” and one or two “light” operators. In particular, we determine the form of the “heavy-heavy-light” OPE coefficients as a function of the charges and d .

    We construct a sequence of multisite gates which transform an easily constructed product state into an approx- imation to the superfluid ground state of the Bose-Hubbard model. The mapping is exact in the one-dimensional hard-core limit and for noninteracting particles in both one and two dimensions. The gate sequence has other applications, such as being used as part of a many-body interferometer which probes the existence of doublons.

    Abstract How a Mott insulator develops into a weakly coupled metal upon doping is a central question to understanding various emergent correlated phenomena. To analyze this evolution and its connection to the high-Tccuprates, we study the single-particle spectrum for the doped Hubbard model using cluster perturbation theory on superclusters. Starting from extremely low doping, we identify a heavily renormalized quasiparticle dispersion that immediately develops across the Fermi level, and a weakening polaronic side band at higher binding energy. The quasiparticle spectral weight roughly grows at twice the rate of doping in the low doping regime, but this rate is halved at optimal doping. In the heavily doped regime, we find both strong electron-hole asymmetry and a persistent presence of Mott spectral features. Finally, we discuss the applicability of the single-band Hubbard model to describe the evolution of nodal spectra measured by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) on the single-layer cuprate La2−xSrxCuO4(0 ≤x≤ 0.15). This work benchmarks the predictive power of the Hubbard model for electronic properties of high-Tccuprates.

    The Hubbard model is the simplest model of interacting fermions on a lattice and is of similar importance to correlated electron physics as the Ising model is to statistical mechanics or the fruit fly to biomedical science. Despite its simplicity, the model exhibits an incredible wealth of phases, phase transitions, and exotic correlation phenomena. Although analytical methods have provided a qualitative description of the model in certain limits, numerical tools have shown impressive progress in achieving quantitative accurate results over the past several years. This article gives an introduction to the model, motivates common questions, and illustrates the progress that has been achieved over recent years in revealing various aspects of the correlation physics of the model.

    Cone Pond Watershed: Soil Profiles (Pedons), 1988-2023 This dataset documents pedons (soil profiles) sampled at Cone Pond Watershed, Thornton, New Hampshire. Since the early 1980’s, Cone Pond, on the Pemigewasset District of the White Mountain National Forest, has been an active research satellite site to the nearby Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest. In 1988, intensive monitoring began as part of a comprehensive watershed scale ecosystem study. A weir was built on the main inlet stream, just above its mouth at Cone Pond, to monitor streamflow. Two rain gages were installed to monitor atmospheric deposition and multiple studies of major ecosystem components were initiated. Soil profiles documented in this dataset were sampled between 1988 and 2003. All descriptive profile and horizon data as well as chemical analyses of samples of genetic horizons are included in this dataset. Samples from 123 of these horizons have been accessioned into the Hubbard Brook physical sample archive; the archived mass of each is included in the horizon table. In addition to these pedons sampled in detail, a number of reconnaissance observations, made at a lower level of detail, and without sampling, were made in 2023 in order to validate a hydropedologic soil model created at Hubbard Brook. These data are included in a separate table. These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.
