Magnetic and charge orders in the ground state of the 2D repulsive Hubbard model

Using the auxiliary field quantum Monte-Carlo (AFQMC) method combined with a self-consistent constraint [1], we systematically study the ground state of the two-dimensional repulsive Hubbard model as a function of doping and interaction strengths. We focus on the spin and charge correlations, applying pinning fields to break translational symmetry and computing the spin and charge densities to probe the emergence of long-range order and collective modes. A phase diagram of spin-density and charge-density waves (including stripes) is obtained.
