Abstract
We explore the phase diagram of the Mott metal-insulator transition (MIT),
focusing on the effects of particle-hole asymmetry (PHA) in the single-band
Hubbard model. Our dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) study reveals that the
introduction of PHA in the model significantly influences the critical
temperature ($T_c$) and interaction strength ($U_c$), as well as the size of
the co-existence region of metallic and insulating phases at low temperatures.
Specifically, as the system is moved away from particle-hole symmetry, $T_c$
decreases and $U_c$ increases, indicating a suppression of the insulating phase
and the strengthening of the metallic behavior. Additionally, the first-order
transition line between metallic and insulating phases is better defined in the
model with PHA, leading to a reduced co-existence region at $T
