It is basically a Hubbard model with ordinary hopping $t$ and spin-dependent hopping $t'$. We study this model in the weak to intermediate coupling regime, at half-filling, using the Cellular Dynamical Impurity Approximation (CDIA), an approach related to Dynamical Mean Field Theory but based on Potthoff's variational principle. We identify four phases in the $(U,t')$ plane: two semi-metallic phases with different numbers of Dirac points, an antiferromagnetic insulator, and an algebraic spin liquid. The last two are separated by a first-order transition. These four phases all meet at a single point and could be realized in cold atom systems.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1506.00501v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/1506.00501v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"topological-phases-of-the-kitaev-hubbard","repo_url":"https://github.com/quantummonk/Project-2017","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
