Interested in lattice models of strongly interacting bosons?
We (Leon Haag-Fank and myself) got interesting new results for the bosonic Hubbard model on a three-dimensional flat-band lattice, the line graph of the cubic lattice. Among other results we prove that at a critical particle number, the system has a sub-extensive ground state entropy. This occurs often in highly frustrated spin systems but has, to our knowledge, not been observed in a bosonic lattice model.
The problem is related to the number of 4-cycle decompositions of the cubic lattice with periodic boundary conditions, a question that occurs in graph theory.
