Abstract
The superfluid-insulator transition of two-band fermionic atom systems in optical lattices is investigated by the two-site dynamical mean-field theory. Because of the spin-flip and pair-hopping interactions, orbital fluctuations are enhanced, leading to the suppression of the Mott insulating state. The numerical results are discussed in comparison with the effective boson model.
