Spin-imbalanced pairing and Fermi surface deformation in flat bands
Spin-imbalanced pairing and Fermi surface deformation in flat bands
We study the attractive Hubbard model with spin imbalance on two lattices featuring a flat band: the Lieb and kagome lattices. We present mean-field phase diagrams featuring exotic superfluid phases, similar to the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state, whose stability is confirmed by dynamical mean-field theory. The nature of the pairing is …
