Spontaneously Symmetry-Breaking States in the Attractive SU(N) Hubbard Model

Abstract

We investigate spontaneously symmetry breaking states in the attractive SU($N$) Hubbard model at half filling. Combining dynamical mean-field theory with the continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo method, we obtain the finite temperature phase diagrams for the superfluid state. When $N>2$, the second-order phase transition occurs in the weak coupling region, while the first-order phase transition with the hysteresis appears in the strong coupling region. We also discuss the stability of the density wave state and clarify the component dependence of the maximum critical temperature.

Low-temperature properties of the infinite-dimensional attractive Hubbard model

Akihisa Koga, Philipp Werner

We investigate the attractive Hubbard model in infinite spatial dimensions by combining dynamical mean-field theory with a strong-coupling continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo method. By calculating the superfluid order parameter and the density of states, we discuss the stability of the superfluid state. In the intermediate-coupling region above the critical temperature, the density of states exhibits a heavy fermion behavior with a quasiparticle peak in the dense system, while a dip structure appears in the dilute system. The formation of the superfluid gap is also addressed.

Finite-temperature phase transitions in the SU(N) Hubbard model

Hiromasa Yanatori, Akihisa Koga

We investigate the $\mathrm{SU}(N)$ Hubbard model for the multicomponent fermionic optical lattice system, combining dynamical mean-field theory with the continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo method. We obtain the finite-temperature phase diagrams with $N\ensuremath{\le}6$ and find that low-temperature properties depend on the parity of the components. The magnetically ordered state competes with the correlated metallic state in the system with an even number of components $(N\ensuremath{\ge}4)$, yielding the first-order phase transition. It is also clarified that in the odd-component system, the ordered state is realized at relatively lower temperatures and the critical temperature is constant in the strong coupling limit.

Finite-momentum condensate brought on by a Zeeman field

Stephen Keeling, Predrag Nikolić

We study superfluid states in a two-dimensional fermionic attractive Hubbard model with Zeeman coupling to an external field. Focusing our attention on singlet pairing in both weak and strong coupling regimes, we reveal a rich phase diagram of finite-momentum condensates which exhibits both Fulde-Ferrell and Larkin-Ovchinnikov orders at zero temperature. The latter are commensurate stripe states that spontaneously break a lattice symmetry; many stable ordering wave vectors are found as a function of particle density and a Zeeman field. Stronger coupling significantly enhances the stability of the finite-momentum condensates, but our numerical mean-field calculations underestimate the effect of fluctuations and indicate a possible localization near half filling.

Pairing and superconductivity from weak to strong coupling in the attractive Hubbard model

A. Toschi, Paolo Barone, Massimo Capone +1 more

The finite-temperature phase diagram of the attractive Hubbard model is studied by means of the dynamical mean-field theory. We first consider the normal phase of the model by explicitly frustrating the superconducting ordering. In this case, we obtain a first-order pairing transition between a metallic phase and a paired phase formed by strongly coupled incoherent pairs. The transition line ends in a finite temperature critical point, but a crossover between two qualitatively different solutions still occurs at higher temperature. Comparing the superconducting- and the normal-phase solutions, we find that the superconducting instability always occurs before the pairing transition in the normal phase, i.e. T c > T pairing . Nevertheless, the high-temperature phase diagram at T > T c is still characterized by a crossover from a metallic phase to a preformed pair phase. We characterize this crossover by computing different observables that can be used to identify the pseudogap region, like the spin susceptibility, the specific heat and the single-particle spectral function.

Effects of Disorder on Superfluidity in the Attractive Hubbard Model

Masaru Sakaida, Kazuto Noda, Norio Kawakami

We study the effects of disorder on an \(s\)-wave superfluid in the attractive Hubbard model using statistical dynamical mean-field theory, which enables us to treat both the correlation effects and the spatial nonuniformity due to disorder in the same framework. The distribution functions of the local density of states and the superfluid order parameter are obtained. From the geometrical average of these quantities, which characterizes the order parameters in disordered systems, we determine the ground-state phase diagram of the attractive Hubbard model with disorder at half-filling and zero temperature. We discuss the superfluid-localization transition and the crossover behavior within the localized phase.

Low-Temperature Properties of the Fermionic Mixtures with Mass Imbalance in Optical Lattice

Nayuta Takemori, Akihisa Koga

We study the attractive Hubbard model with mass imbalance to clarify low temperature properties of the fermionic mixtures in the optical lattice. By combining dynamical mean-field theory with the continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo simulation, we discuss the competition between the superfluid and density wave states at half filling. By calculating the energy and the order parameter for each state, we clarify that the coexisting (supersolid) state, where the density wave and superfluid states are degenerate, is realized in the system. We then determine the phase diagram at finite temperatures.
