Majorana fermion solution is obtained from the self-consistent effective Hamiltonian theory. The ground state is conjectured to be a non-empty vacuum with 2 fermions, one for each type. The first type is the original charged fermion and the second type the chiral charge-less Majorana fermion. The Marjorana fermion is like a shadow of the first fermion cast by the non-empty vacuum.

Using a separable many-body variational wavefunction, we formulate a self-consistent effective Hamiltonian theory for fermionic many-body system. The theory is applied to the two-dimensional (2D) Hubbard model as an example to demonstrate its capability and computational effectiveness. Most remarkably for the Hubbard model in 2D, a highly unconventional quadruple-fermion non-Cooper pair order parameter is discovered.

We show that 22d adjoint QCD, an SU(N)SU(N) gauge theory with one massless adjoint Majorana fermion, has a variety of mixed ’t Hooft anomalies. The anomalies are derived using a recent mod 22 index theorem and its generalization that incorporates ’t Hooft flux. Anomaly matching and dynamical considerations are used to determine the ground-state structure of the theory. The anomalies, which are present for most values of NN, are matched by spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking. We find that massless 22d adjoint QCD confines for N >2N>2, except for test charges of NN-ality N/2N/2, which are deconfined. In other words, \mathbb Z_NℤN center symmetry is unbroken for odd NN and spontaneously broken to \mathbb Z_{N/2}ℤN/2 for even NN. All of these results are confirmed by explicit calculations on small \mathbb{R}\times S^1ℝ×S1. We also show that this non-supersymmetric theory exhibits exact Bose-Fermi degeneracies for all states, including the vacua, when NN is even. Furthermore, for most values of NN, 22d massive adjoint QCD describes a non-trivial symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phase of matter, including certain cases where the number of interacting Majorana fermions is a multiple of 88. As a result, it fits into the classification of (1+1)(1+1)d SPT phases of interacting Majorana fermions in an interesting way.

Two computational approaches – a thermodynamic model based on results of ab initio calculations of the ground state and the self-consistent thermodynamic model have been applied to study thermal and elastic properties of iron monosilicide. It is shown that conventional DFT fails to reproduce experimental data for this strongly correlated compound. In addition, we have performed comparative analysis of anharmonicity of the acoustic and optical phonons in FeSi and their impact on the temperature dependencies of thermodynamic properties of FeSi.

The ground state and the phase transitions of the bilayered spin-S anti-ferromagnetic Heisenberg model were studied by Ng et al.1 by using the Schwinger boson mean field theory. In this paper, an analytic continuation of the self-consistent equations is carried out in order to study the extension of the model to fractional dimensions from 1 to 2. Decreasing the dimensionality from 2 has an effect similar to that of decreasing the spin S. The corresponding phase diagram and phase transition will also be discussed.

Recently Wang and Cheng proposed a self-consistent effective Hamiltonian theory (SCEHT) for many-body fermionic systems (Wang & Cheng, 2019). This paper attempts to provide a mathematical foundation to the formulation of the SCEHT that enables further study of excited states of the system in a more systematic and theoretical manner. Gauge fields are introduced and correct total energy functional in relations to the coupling gauge field is given. We also provides a Monte-Carlo numerical scheme for the search of the ground state that goes beyond the SCEHT.
