We study the orbital angular momentum (OAM) L_{z} in two-dimensional chiral (p_{x}+ip_{y})^{ν}-wave superfluids (SFs) of N fermions on a disk at zero temperature, in terms of spectral asymmetry and spectral flow. It is shown that L_{z}=νN/2 for any integer ν, in the Bose-Einstein condensation regime. In contrast, in the BCS limit, while the OAM is L_{z}=N/2 for the p+ip-wave SF, for chiral SFs with ν≥2, the OAM is remarkably suppressed as L_{z}=N×O(Δ_{0}/ϵ_{F})≪N, where Δ_{0} is the gap amplitude and ϵ_{F} is the Fermi energy. We demonstrate that the difference between the p+ip-wave SF and the other chiral SFs in the BCS regimes originates from the nature of edge modes and related depairing effects.
We investigate novel topological magnon band crossings of pyrochlore antiferromagnets with allin-all-out (AIAO) magnetic order. By general symmetry analysis and spin-wave theory, we show that pyrochlore materials with AIAO orders can host Weyl magnons under external magnetic fields or uniaxial strains. Under a small magnetic field, the magnon bands of the pyrochlore with AIAO background can feature two opposite-charged Weyl points, which is the minimal number of Weyl points realizable in quantum materials and has not be experimentally observed so far. We further show that breathing pyrochlores with AIAO orders can exhibit Weyl magnons upon uniaxial strains. These findings apply to any pyrochlore material supporting AIAO orders, irrespective of the forms of interactions. Specifically, we show that the Weyl magnons are robust against direct (positive) Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions. Because of the ubiquitous AIAO orders in pyrochlore magnets including R2Ir2O7, and experimentally achievable external strain and magnetic field, our predictions provide promising arena to witness the Weyl magnons in quantum magnets.
We compare the ground-state energies of bosons and fermions with the same form of the Hamiltonian. If both are noninteracting, the ground-state energy of bosons is always lower, owing to Bose-Einstein condensation. However, the comparison is nontrivial when bosons do interact. We first prove that, when the hopping is unfrustrated (all the hopping amplitudes are non-negative), hard-core bosons still must have a lower ground-state energy than fermions. If the hopping is frustrated, bosons can have a higher ground-state energy than fermions. We prove rigorously that this inversion indeed occurs in several examples.
We investigate the para-ferro magnetic transition of the repulsive SU(N ) Hubbard model on a type of one-and two-dimensional decorated cubic lattices, referred as Tasaki lattices, which feature massive single-particle ground state degeneracy. Under certain restrictions for constructing localized many-particle ground states of flat-band ferromagnetism, the quantum model of strongly correlated electrons is mapped to a classical statistical geometric site-percolation problem, where the nontrivial weights of different configurations must be considered. We prove rigorously the existence of para-ferro transition for the SU(N ) Hubbard model on one-dimensional Tasaki lattice and determine the critical density by the transfer-matrix method. In two dimensions, we numerically investigate the phase transition of SU(3), SU(4) and SU(10) Hubbard models by Metropolis Monte Carlo simulation. We find that the critical density exceeds that of standard percolation, and increases with spin degrees of freedom, implying that the effective repulsive interaction becomes stronger for larger N . We further rigorously prove the existence of flat-band ferromagnetism of the SU(N ) Hubbard model when the number of particles equals to the degeneracy of the lowest band in the single-particle energy spectrum.
