Absence of a direct metal to Mott insulator transition for disordered interacting fermions on the Cayley tree

Résumé

Interacting fermions in the presence of disorder pose one of the most challenging problems in condensed matter physics, primarily due to the absence of accurate numerical tools. Our investigation delves into the intricate interplay between interaction-induced Mott insulation and disorder-driven Anderson localization in the Hubbard model subjected to a random potential. On the Cayley tree, the application of statistical dynamical mean-field theory proves adept at discerning among a metal and the two distinct insulators, Anderson or Mott. Our comprehensive analysis, accounting for subtle yet potent finite-size effects and fluctuations, yields a noteworthy finding: in the presence of disorder, we consistently observe an intervening Anderson-localized regime between the metallic and Mott insulator states. This observation intriguingly mirrors scenarios witnessed in dirty Bosons, where an insulating Bose glass phase consistently emerges between the superfluid and Mott phases.
