Abstract

A novel canonical transformation is offered as the mean for studying properties of a system of strongly correlated electrons. As an example of the utility of the transformation, it is used to demonstrate the existence of a quantum phase transition in a Hubbard model on a square lattice. An Appendix presents two cases with a negative result.

The existence of a quantum phase transition in a Hubbard model on a quasi-one-dimentional two-leg ladder

Valentin Voroshilov

A canonical transformation of a new type is offered as the mean for studying properties of a system of strongly correlated electrons. As an example of the utility of the transformation, it is used to demonstrate the existence of a quantum phase transition in a Hubbard-like model on a quasi-one- dimensional two-leg ladder.

The two-dimensional Hubbard model in the Hartree-Fock approximation

Fernando O. Freire, Cláudio Andrade Macedo

The students interested in the study of strongly correlated electron systems normally feel, in the beginning  of their studies, a great difficulty in understanding the complex correlations of these systems. We consider  that for these students it is very important to have texts that analyze pedagogically the theoretical research  methods of the subject. We show how to determine the thermodynamic properties of the Hubbard model  for the two-dimensional square lattice, utilizing the Hartree-Fock approximation. All the procedures and  peculiarities which lead to the determination of the thermodynamic properties and to the comprehension  of the meaning of the Hartree-Fock approximation applied to models of strongly correlated electron  systems are pedagogically presented in detail. We obtain the magnetization, the magnetic susceptibility,  the internal energy, the specific heat, and also a magnetic phase diagram of the studied system. Our  approach clearly shows that the use of the Hartree-Fock approximation, in this case, is very simple.

Quantum Phase Transitions in 2D--dimensional paramagnetic half--filled Hubbard model

N. I. Chashchin

We investigate the quantum phase transitions in strongly correlated electronic systems at $T=0^0K$ by the example of the 2D Hubbard model. The model for numerical calculations were formalized in terms of the integral equations previously obtained for the half--filled paramagnetic Hubbard model by means of the variational derivatives technique and subsequent Legendre transformation. For principal results we submit in series the momentum distribution functions $n(k)$ which display distinct attributes for the incipient regimes: the pure doublon phase, the metal phase, Weyl semimetal phase, and Weyl excitonic insulator phase at the sequential increasing the onsite Coulomb interaction $U$.

Absence of superconductivity in the repulsive Hubbard model on a square lattice in the regime of strong coupling

A. Sherman

Abstract The possibility of the superconducting transition in the repulsive Hubbard model on a square lattice is studied using the ladder approximation of the strong coupling diagram technique. The t – U and t – t ′– t ″– U models are considered in the regime of strong correlations, for the on-site Coulomb repulsion U = 8 t , in the range of temperatures 0.02 t ≲ T ≲ 0.3 t . To avoid the influence of the phase separation and size effects the calculations are performed in an infinite crystal, in the part of the phase diagram without inhomogeneities, for the electron concentration n ¯ = 0.92 . Solutions of the Eliashberg equation for singlet and triplet pairing, which are transformed according to one-dimensional representations of the lattice point group D 4 , are considered. For both models and all considered symmetries, eigenvalues of the Eliashberg equation are less than unity and demonstrate no upward trend with decreasing temperature. This result points to the absence of superconductivity in the Hubbard model in the strong-coupling regime. We discuss the reason for the small eigenvalue of the Eliashberg equation in the case of the singlet d x 2 − y 2 pairing.

Superconductivity and magnetism in strongly correlated electronic systems

M. J. Sampaio

In this thesis, symmetry and related transformation laws under a suitable unitary transformation are used in the study of the superconducting and magnetic properties of strongly correlated electronic systems. Such a study profits from a recently found global SO(3)×SO(3)×U(1) = [SO(4)×U(1)]/Z2 symmetry in the Hubbard model on a bipartite lattice. The introduction of the square-lattice quantum liquid relies on a general description of the Hubbard model consistent with its exact global SO(3) × SO(3) × U(1) symmetry. Such a quantum liquid is expected to play the same role for many-electron problems with short-range interactions on a square lattice, as a Fermi liquid for three-dimensional isotropic metals. It refers to the Hubbard model on the square lattice in the subspace spanned by the ground state, and the excited states generated by application onto it of one- and two-electron operators. For such a square-lattice quantum liquid only the charge c fermions and spin-neutral two-spinon s1 fermions play an active role. Part of the studies of this thesis use an effective superconductivity theory according to which, for zero spin density m = 0 and the range 0 < x < x∗ of finite hole concentrations of a short-range spin ordered phase, the ground state of the square-lattice quantum liquid of c and s1 fermions with residual interactions is superconducting. (For U/4t > ui ≈ 3/4 the critical hole concentration x∗ increases continuously upon increasing the U/4t value from x∗ = 1/√2 ≈ 0.225 at U/4t = ui to x∗ = 1/ ≈ 0.318 for U/4t → ∞.) Superconductivity emerges naturally from the effects of the residual interactions of the c and s1 fermions and as a side product of the short-range spin correlations. The phase of the c fermion pairs reads = 0 + 1 where the fluctuations of the phases 0 and 1 become large for x → 0 and x → x∗, respectively. For 0 < x < x∗ and x = 0, the symmetry of the action for the phase is a global superconducting U(1) symmetry and a local compact gauge symmetry, respectively. The former U(1) symmetry is identified with the U(1) symmetry of the Hubbard-model global SO(3) × SO(3) × U(1) = [SO(4) × U(1)]/Z2 symmetry. The amplitudes g = g0 g1, g0 = |heiθ0i|, and g1 = |heiθ1i|, their zero-temperature values ˘g ≈ (x/x∗)(1−x/x∗), ˘g0 ≈ (x/x∗), and ˘g1 ≈ (1−x/x∗) and the fluctuations of the phase , play an important role in the physics of the square-lattice quantum liquid. Together with the energy scale 2 0, which gives the maximum magnitude of the s1 fermion spinon pairing energy, they fully control the order parameters of both the short-range spin and long-range superconducting correlations. Indeed, for temperatures T < Tc, the short-range spin ordered phase has both a macroscopic quantum phase-coherent pair superconducting order so that |heiθi| > 0, and a short-range spin order, whereas for Tc < T < T∗ only the latter order prevails yet there remain c fermion pairing correlations such that |heiθ1i| > 0 but heiθ0i = 0. Here the critical temperature Tc and the crossover pseudogap temperature T∗ are fully controlled by the absolute value of the order parameters of the two above orders, respectively. However, the square-lattice quantum liquid alone does not describe quantitatively the unusual properties of the hole-doped cuprates. To fulfill such a goal we profit from a suitable theory according to which the interplay of electronic correlations described by the square-lattice quantum liquid of charge c fermions and spin-neutral two-spinon s1 fermions with intrinsic disorder, is behind the unusual properties of the holedoped hight-temperature cuprate superconductors. By profiting from such an interplay, an excellent quantitative agreement with experiments for the physical quantities of several families of hole-doped cuprates is reached. That includes universal properties such as a dome-like critical-temperature hole-concentration dependence and normal-state linear-T resistivity near optimal doping, extending over a wide temperature window. The results confirm a coexisting two-gap scenario associated with an incoherent two-spinon pairing and a coherent twoc- fermion pairing, respectively. While most of our studies focus on the superconducting and magnetic properties of the square-lattice quantum liquid associated with the Hubbard model on the square lattice, the magnetic properties of a related model – the periodic Anderson model – are also addressed, on the cubic lattice.

Our results support that there exists an insulator-to-metal transition for the half-filled Hubbard model at high temperature.
