Recent experimental progress in the field of cold atoms has boosted a world-wide quest to simulate condensed matter problems within the realm of ultracold quantum gases in optical lattices. A considerable progress was achieved last years with the realization of a fermionic Mott insulator in an optical lattice. Several groups are now focusing experimental and theoretical efforts to realize the BEC-BCS crossover and different magnetic phases in optical lattices. In this work we investigate the phase structure for interacting fermions near a Feshbach resonance in two- and three-dimensional cubic lattices. To this end we have analyzed the underlying Hubbard-like model with a recently developed field-theoretic many-body technique to describe crossovers and transitions between the diferent phases related to superconducting and antiferromagnetic instabilities. In particular, we have calculated the quantum effective action and obtained in the strongly correlated regime a crossover between magnetic and charge ordered insulators. This crossover corresponds to the strongly correlated counterpart of the BCS-BEC crossover, which for our lattice model occurs in the weakly coupled regime.
