title: New correlated model of colossal magnetoresistive manganese oxides.
abstract: A new minimal model is constructed for the doped manganese oxides which exhibit colossal magnetoresistance, involving a broad spin-majority conduction band as well as nearly localized spin-minority electron states. A simple mean-field analysis yields a temperature-dependent hybridized band structure with suppressed carrier weight at the Fermi level. Spin stiffness is complex, indicating strong spin-wave damping. Further investigations are needed to verify the relevance of the proposed model.
