We discuss, in connection with the problem of the ground state in the Hubbard model with U =∞, the normal (nonmagnetic) N -state of a system over the entire range of electron concentrations n ≤1. It is found that in a one-particle approximation, e.g., in the generalized Hartree-Fock approximation, the energy ε 0 ( n ) of the N -state is lower than the energy ε FM ( n ) of a saturated ferromagnetic state for all values of n . Using the random phase approximation we calculate the dynamical magnetic susceptibility and show that the N -state is stable for all values of n . A formally exact representation is derived for the mass operator of the one-particle electron Green’s function, and its expression in the self-consistent Born approximation is obtained. We discuss the first Born approximation and show that when correlations are taken into account, the attenuation vanishes on the Fermi surface and the electron distribution function at T =0 acquires a Migdal discontinuity, whose magnitude depends on n . The energy of the N -state in this approximation is still lower than ε FM ( n ) for n <1. We show that the spin correlation functions are isotropic, which is a characteristic feature of the singlet states of the system. We calculate the spin correlation function for the nearest neighbors in the zeroth approximation as a function of n . Finally, we conclude that the singlet state of the system in the thermodynamic limit is the ground state.

The problem of the ground state of the electronic system in the Hubbard model for U=∞ is discussed. The author investigates the normal (singlet or nonmagnetic) N state of the electronic system over the entire range of electron densities n⩽1. It is shown that the energy of the N state ɛ 0 (1) (n) in a one-particle approximation, such as (e.g.) the extended Hartree-Fock approximation, is lower than the energy of the saturated ferromagnetic FM state ɛ FM(n) for all n. The dynamic magnetic susceptibility is calculated in the random phase approximation, and it is shown that the N state is stable over the entire range of electron densities: The static susceptibility (ω=0) does not have a band singularity in the zero-wave vector limit q→0. A formally exact representation is obtained for the mass operator of the one-particle Green’s function, and an approximation of this operator is proposed: M k(E)⋍λF(E), where λ=n(1−n)/(1−n/2)z is the kinematic interaction parameter, z is the number of nearest neighbors, and F(E) is the total single-site Green’s function. For an elliptical density of states the integral equation for F(E) is solved exactly, ad it is shown that the spectral intensity rigorously satisfies the sum rule. The calculated energy of the strongly correlated N state ɛ 0(n)<ɛ FM(n) for all n, and in light of this relationship the author discusses the hypothesis that the ground state of the system is the normal (singlet) state in the thermodynamic limit. The electron distribution function at T=0 differs significantly from the Fermi step; it is “smeared” along the entire energy spectrum, and discontinuities do not occur in the region of the chemical potential m.
On the basis of a regular perturbation theory in the form of diagrammatic technique with X-operators, a ferromagnetic state in the Hubbard model with infinite on-site Coulomb interaction U is studied for a wide range of electron concentration n. Treating the kinetic energy of electrons as perturbation, we get the exact graphic representations for three Green’s functions [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for electrons with spin ↑ and ↓ (spontaneous magnetic moment is in ↑ direction) and [Formula: see text] for spin waves. All of them are expressed through the unique system of four-point and three-point vertex parts for effective electron-magnon and electron-electron interactions. These vertex parts are calculated in two approximations: a low-density approximation for n≪1 or nh=1–n≫1, and the generalized random-phase approximation (GRPA), which was suggested earlier by us for the description of paramagnetic phase in this model. An important result in both cases is the understanding of essential difference of electron states with spin ↑ and ↓. The state for ↑ has coherent character in all region of electron concentration (n>nc) where a ferromagnetic state exists, while the state for spin ↓ has mixed characters including both coherent and incoherent contribution. For the saturated ferromagnetism (n>ns) when nh≪1, [Formula: see text] is an entirely incoherent (nonquasiparticle) state. Appearance of incoherent state is probably a general property of strongly correlated systems distinguishing its behavior from the Fermi liquid. We show also that the Hubbard-I approximation has no region of applicability for the electron with spin ↓ in a ferromagnet and we found a new factor describing the correlation-narrowing of ↓ spin electron band. Green’s function [Formula: see text] calculated in two different limits n≪1 and nh≪1, are jointed together to allow us to calculate ns which lies in the intermediate concentration regime. For simple cubic lattice we found ns=0.87. In the limit nh≪1 our results reduce to the earlier known ones, including Nagaoka’s result for the spin wave energy. We point out the way to construct a rigorous theory for ferromagnetic state in the intermediate range of electron concentration. In the conclusion several important problems are discussed in connection to the continuation of the present work.
We investigate magnetic properties in the ground state of the one-dimensional flat-band Hubbard model in high electron filling. Until now, we found the new saturated ferromagnetism for odd numbers of holes, and its properties were investigated in detail. However, it was remained as a problem how we understand the complete alternation of magnetism between saturated ferromagnetism and singlet for odd and even numbers of holes, respectively. This alternation causes a difficulty when we consider the thermodynamic limit. In order to solve this difficulty, we investigate, at first, the change of the magnetization for systems with various boundary conditions, and we find that even for the even numbers of holes, the ground states are saturated ferromagnetic under the antiperiodic boundary condition. Furthermore, we explicitly investigate the spin-spin correlation functions < S z i S z j > to see the spin ordering. These calculations shows that all ground states in this filling region are the spiral state under a suitable boundary condition, and that the singlet states in these ground states, therefore, have a ferromagnetic order within, approximately, a half of the system size, although the total spin is still zero. From these results, we conclude that the properties in this region are by no means ill, and all ground states are essentially ferromagnetic in the sense that the spins in the singlet states are also ordered ferromagnetically if we take in the half of the system size.
The exact phase diagram and the ground-state properties of the one-dimensional Hubbard model with arbitrary on-site interaction of electrons are calculated over a wide range of magnetic field and electron concentrations by means of the Bethe-ansatz formalism. The ground-state properties, including the total energy, the average spin (magnetization) and spin (magnetic) susceptibility are investigated for both signs of the interaction strength U/t. The critical behavior near the onset of magnetization and magnetic saturation are also analyzed. At the onset of magnetization and near the magnetic saturation the spin susceptibility χ diverges at all U/t for half-filling case n=1, whereas for n≠1 it is always finite. The reverse susceptibility χ-1(U) exhibits anomalous hump, which increases with h or n, and shows discontinuity as U/t→±0 at infinitesimal h→0. The analytical results for the ground-state properties in strong and weak interaction limits are in full agreement with our numerical calculations.
Abstract We have calculated the ground state energy of the Hubbard model in the approximation of Hubbard's first paper1 . For the neutral model with nearest neighbour interaction the energy resulting from the selfconsistent paramagnetic solution is compared with those ones following from the (ferromagnetic) Hartree-Fock and an (antiferromagnetic) single particle theory. The energy of the latter one turns out to be the best approximation of the true ground state energy of the model for all values of the coupling constant V0 , but the energy derived from Hubbard's approximation, in spite of the absence of magnetic ordering, is a reasonable approximation at least for sufficiently large values of V0.
The exact phase diagrams of the one-dimensional Hubbard model, both attractive and repulsive, in the presence of an arbitrary magnetic field h for various electron concentrations n and on-site interaction strengths U <0 or U >0 are calculated and investigated. The exact ground-state properties, namely, the ground-state energy, the average spin (magnetization), the concentration of the doubly occupied sites, the kinetic energy, the chemical potential, the spin (magnetic) susceptibility and the charge compressibility, are calculated and examined over a wide range of interaction strengths U for various h and n . It is found that the spin susceptibility at half-filling is non-analytic and changes discontinuously as U →0. The exact theory shows the absence of a charge energy gap in the U ⩽0 region for all n and provides, for the chemical potential, the rigorous upper and lower bounds for half-filled and empty bands respectively. The analytical results derived for the weak-coupling limit and asymptotic expansions for strong coupling are in full agreement with the numerical calculations.
