For small U/t, ground state is a superfluid BEC with superfluid density density of bosons
101 What is the ground state for large U/t? Typically, the ground state remains a superfluid, but with superfluid density density of bosons The superfluid density evolves smoothly from large values at small U/t, to small values at large U/t, and there is no quantum phase transition at any intermediate value of U/t. (In systems with Galilean invariance and at zero temperature, superfluid density=density of bosons always, independent of the strength of the interactions)
102 What is the ground state for large U/t? Incompressible, insulating ground states, with zero superfluid density, appear at special commensurate densities n j = 3 t U n = 7/2 Ground state has density wave order, which j spontaneously breaks lattice symmetries

144 Bosons at filling fraction f = 1 At f=1, the magnetic flux per unit cell is 2π, and the vortex does not pick up any phase from the boson density. The effective dual magnetic field acting on the vortex is zero, and the corresponding component of the Magnus force vanishes.

146 Vortices in a superfluid near a Mott insulator at filling f=p/q Hofstadter spectrum of the quantum vortex particle with field operator ϕ At filling f = p/ q, there are q species of vortices, ϕ (with =1 q), associated with q degenerate minima in the vortex spectrum.

157 Superfluids near Mott insulators The Mott insulator has average Cooper pair density, f = p/q per site, while the density of the superfluid is close (but need not be identical) to this value Vortices with flux h/(2e) come in in multiple (usually q) q) flavors The lattice space group acts in in a projective representation on on the vortex flavor space. These flavor quantum numbers provide a distinction between superfluids: they constitute a quantum order Any pinned vortex must chose an an orientation in in flavor space. This necessarily leads to to modulations in in the local density of of states over the spatial region where the vortex executes its its quantum zero point motion.
