We have performed extensive density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) studies of the Hubbard model on a honeycomb ladder. The band structure (with Hubbard $U=0$) exhibits an unusual quadratic band touching at half-filling, which is associated with a quantum Lifshitz transition from a band insulator to a metal. For o…
