Analytic Properties of the Self-Energy of the Hubbard Model in One and Two Dimensions
V. Zlatić, Berislav Horvatić
Abstract
A new method of calculating the properties of correlated electrons propagting on D -dimensional lattices with N D sites is used to study the analytic properties of the Hubbard model in one and two dimensions. The single-particle self-energy is evaluated in the weak-coupling limit around the Fermi energy, ω F , and momentum, p F , at T = 0. For D = 1, the imaginary part of the self-energy, around p F and ω F , behaves in the limit as Im Σ p F (ω F + ω) ~ |ω| for |ω| ~ 1/ N . For D = 2 at half-filling and along the (1,0) direction in the Brillouin zone, the dominate contribution to the self-energy around ω F is estimated as Im Σ p F (ω F + ω) ~ |ω| ln|ω|. For one and two dimensional lattices, the excitation spectra of the U = 0 and U → 0 models become qualitatively different as N → ∞ and can not be simply connected by the perturbation theory.
