Title:
Multi-orbital Mott Physics and the Iron-based Superconductors

Abstract:
We review some surprising results on multi orbital Hubbard models, 
highlighting
the role of the Hund’s coupling in driving a two-stage Mott 
localization and an
effective decoupling between the orbitals which in turn leads to a 
remarkable
differentiation between different orbitals (orbital selectivity).

We show that the normal state of  iron-based superconductors can 
be rationalized
and understood in this framework and we address the implications on the 
phase
diagram.
