    Abstract

    The evolution of magnetic correlation in strongly correlated electron systems with altermagentic spin splitting remains largely unexplored. Here we investigate how spin splitting generated by spin-dependent next-nearest-neighbor hopping t′ reshapes the Fermi surface nesting and Van Hove singularities in the two-dimensional square-lattice Hubbard model, leading evolution of magnetic instabilities. Using the constrained-path quantum Monte Carlo method, we find the dominant magnetic correlation as functions of the filling and t′ by computing the momentum-resolved spin structure factor. The analysis reveals a transition from antiferromagnetic (π,π) order in the isotropic, half filled system to noncollinear spiral (π,q) order upon increasing the spin-dependent anisotropy or doping away from half filling, ultimately entering a short-range correlation regime where stripe and spiral correlation coexist. These findings highlight a possible route to realizing spiral correlation in altermagnetic systems, potentially providing a platform for spintronic devices that exploit noncollinear spin textures.
