Abstract: Recent experiments with ultra cold atoms in optical lattices [1] has drawn us to investigate the phase diagram of correlated lattice fermions at half-filling in the presence of the spin-dependent random potential [2].[3]. The corresponding Anderson-Hubbard model is solved within the dynamical mean field theory with geometrically averaged local density of states [4], which makes our theory sensitive to the Anderson localization. A complete paramagnetic phase diagram for the ground state is determined. The spin-dependent disorder tends to destabilize the metallic solution in contrast to the normal disorder [6]. For strong disorder, above the critical point for the Mott transition, novel spin-dependent localized phases are found. Preliminary results for a magnetic ground state phase diagram at half-filling will be presented as well.
