Recent experiments with ultra-cold atoms in optical lattices [1] have caused us to investigate the phase diagram of correlated lattice fermions in the presence of spin-dependent disorder [2,3]. To this end we solved the Anderson-Hubbard model with a spin-dependent random potential within the dynamical mean-field theory, using the geometrically averaged local density of states to make the theory sensitive to Anderson localization [4]. The paramagnetic ground state phase diagram was determined. Spin-dependent disorder is seen to destabilize the metallic solution, in contrast to the usual case of spin-independent disorder [5]. For strong disorder above the critical point for the Mott transition novel spin-dependent localized phases are found.
