The spatially localized bound states of two electrons in the adiabatic two-dimensional Holstein-Hubbard model on a square lattice are investigated both numerically and analytically. The interplay between the electron-phonon coupling g, which tends to form bipolarons and the repulsive Hubbard...

The long-range forces between holes in an antiferromagnet are due to magnon exchange. The one-magnon exchange potential between two holes is proportional to cos(2 ϕ)/<Emphasis Type="Bold">r <Superscript>2</Superscript> where <Emphasis Type="Bold">r is the distance vector of the holes and ϕ is the angle between <Emphasis Type="Bold">r and an axis of the square crystal lattice....</emphasis></emphasis></superscript></emphasis>

An model of La<Subscript>2-x</Subscript>Sr<Subscript>x</Subscript>CuO<Subscript>4</Sub script> explaining the features of incommensurate spin textures without any assumption of stripe formation is proposed. The foundations of this model are the mechanism of negative-U center formation proposed earlier and the concept of specific ordering of doped ions. It is shown...<//sub></subscript></subscript></subscript>

We propose a mechanism of superconductivity in which the order of the ground state does not arise from the usual Landau mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking but is rather of topological origin. The low-energy effective theory is formulated in terms of emerging gauge fields rather than a...
