Asymptotic Bethe-Ansatz Results for a Hubbard Chain with 1/sinh-Hopping
P.-A. Bares, Florian Gebhard
Abstract
We investigate spin-(1/2) electrons with local Hubbard interaction and variable-range hopping amplitudes which decay like sinh (κ)/sinh (κ r ). Assuming integrability, the asymptotic-Bethe-ansatz approach allows us to derive the generalized Lieb-Wu integral equations from the two-particle phase shift. Due to the nesting property there is a metal-to-insulator transition at U c (κ > 0) = 0 + . The charge gap in the singular limit κ = 0 opens when the interaction strength equals the bandwidth, U c (κ = 0) = W > 0.
