Self-energy corrections due to to fermion-magnon interaction are studied in the antiferromagnetic state of the $t\ensuremath{-}{t}^{\ensuremath{'}}\ensuremath{-}{t}^{\ensuremath{''}}$ Hubbard model within the noncrossing approximation in the full
U range from weak to strong coupling. The role of classical (mean-field) features of fermion and magnon dispersion, associated with finite $U,{t}^{\ensuremath{'}},{t}^{\ensuremath{''}}$, are examined on quantum corrections to quasiparticle energy, weight, one-particle density of states, etc. A finite-
U induced classical dispersion term, absent in the $t\ensuremath{-}J$ model, is found to play an important role in suppressing the quasiparticle weight for states near
k=(0,0), as seen in cuprates. For intermediate
U, the renormalized antiferromagnetic (AF) band gap is found to be nearly half of the classical value, and the weak-coupling limit is quite nontrivial due to strongly suppressed magnon amplitude. For finite ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$, the renormalized AF band gap is shown to vanish at a critical interaction strength
Uc, yielding a spin fluctuation driven first-order AF insulator--paramagnetic metal transition. Quasiparticle dispersion evaluated with the same set of Hubbard model cuprate parameters, as obtained from a recent magnon spectrum fit, provides excellent agreement with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy data for
Sr2CuO2Cl2.
The problem of weakly correlated electrons on a square lattice is studied theoretically. A simple renormalization group scheme for the angle-resolved weight Z of the quasiparticles at the Fermi surface is presented and applied to the Hubbard model. Upon reduction of the cutoff the Fermi surface is progressively destroyed from the van Hove points toward the zone diagonals. Due to the renormalized Z, divergences of both antiferromagnetic and superconducting correlation functions are suppressed at the critical scale, where the interactions diverge.
Recent studies reported that antiferromagnetic (AF) states become stable and d -wave superconducting ( d -SC) states are almost excluded in underdoped strongly correlated Hubbard models in two dimensions. In a viewpoint of many-body variational theory, this result stems from a band-renormalization effect (BRE) in AF states. Here, using a variational Monte Carlo method, BRE on AF and d -SC states are studied in the t-t'-J model, in which d -SC (AF) states have been considered to be more stable (fragile) than in the Hubbard model. Many features are qualitatively similar to the Hubbard model including effectiveness of BRE and the existence of a Lifshitz transition in AF states. However, a d -SC state becomes more stable than an AF state widely in the underdoped regime for J/t =0.3, in contrast to the Hubbard model.
