Abstract

By means of dynamical mean-field theory allowing for complete account of SU(2) rotational symmetry of interactions between spin-1/2 particles, we observe a strong effect of suppression of ferromagnetic order in the multiorbital Fermi-Hubbard model in comparison with a widely used restriction to density-density interactions. In the case of orbital degeneracy, we show that the suppression effect is the strongest in the two-orbital model (with effective spin ) and significantly decreases when considering three orbitals (), thus magnetic ordering can effectively revive for the same range of parameters, in agreement with arguments based on vanishing of quantum fluctuations in the limit of classical spins (). We analyze a connection to the double-exchange model and observe high importance of spin-flip processes there as well.
