Carbon nanotubes (CNs) are intriguing one-dimensional systems where various electronic states emerge from their microscopic details. Examples are superconducting states in CNs embedded in a zeolite matrix [1], Mott insulating states in ultraclean CNs [2], and Wigner crystals in semiconducting CNs [3]. Here, we theoretically investigate the low-temperature phase diagrams of single-wall CNs by a renormalization group method. Important ingredients are: (i) electron-phonon interactions that may induce superconductivity or Peierls distortion and (ii) electronic correlations that may cause Mott insulating states. We discuss some preliminary consequences of the competition among these phases.
