We investigate the Mott transition in a Hubbard model by using the dynamical mean-field theory and introduce the local quantum state fidelity to depict the Mott metal–insulator transition. The local quantum state fidelity provides a convenient approach to determining the critical point of the Mott transition. Additionally, it presents a consistent description of the two distinct forms of the Mott transition points.展开更多

The orbital instability in a two-orbital degenerate Hubbard model is investigated in the random phase approximation （RPA）. After demonstrating the criteria for the formation of orbital ordering or the orbital density wave ordering, we find that the orbital and the spin-orbital collective excitation spectra in the ferro-orbital ordered phase exhibit finite gaps. The possible application of the present theory in orbital-ordered 4d compounds is also discussed.展开更多
