| contents | We study the formation of subgap impurity states in strongly correlated Mott insulators. We use a composite operator method that gives us access to both the bulk Green's function, as well as to the real-space Green's function in the presence of an impurity. Similar to the non-interacting systems, we show that the formation of impurity subgap states at large impurity potential ("Mott ring states") depends rather on the band-mixing, than on the topological character of the system. Thus even a trivial Mott insulator can under certain conditions exhibit ring states. For the system studied here the band mixing is that between the holon and doublon elementary excitations rather than an orbital mixing. Moreover we study the formation of bands of zeros in the correlated Green's function, believed to exhibit a free quasiparticle-like behavior. We show that in the presence of an impurity the same conclusion can be applied, i.e. ``Mott zeros ring states" form in the presence of topological bands of zeros, but also for trivial quasi-flat bands of zeros with band mixing. |
