Twisted boundary conditions and effective mass close to a Mott transition

Abstract

We use some recent results, relating the optical mass to the sensitivity of a system of interacting lattice fermions to boundary conditions, to obtain the scaling properties of the effective mass close to a metal-insulator transition due to correlations.

Twisted Boundary Conditions and Effective Mass in Heisenberg-Ising and Hubbard Rings

B. Sriram Shastry, Bill Sutherland

We identify the boundary energy of a many-body system of fermions on a lattice under twisted boundary conditions as the inverse of the effective charge-carrying mass, or the stiffness, renormalizing nontrivially under interactions due to the absence of Galilean invariance. We point out that this quantity is a sensitive and direct probe of the metal-insulator transitions possible in these systems, i.e., the Mott-Hubbard transition or Density-wave formation. We calculate exactly the stiffness, or the effective mass, in the 1D Heisenberg-Ising ring and the 1D Hubbard model by using the ansatz of Bethe. For the Hubbard ring we also calculate a spin stiffness by extending the nested ansatz of Bethe-Yang to this case.

Conductivity in one-dimensional highly correlated electron systems

Norio Kawakami, Sung-Kil Yang

The dc conductivity for the t-J model is exactly obtained at t=J and for the Hubbard model in one dimension. Our calculation is carried out for arbitrary band filling by use of the finite-size-scaling method based on the Bethe-ansatz solution under twisted boundary conditions. The effective transport mass defined as the inverse of the conductivity serves as a sensitive probe of the metal-insulator transition. The effective mass is extremely enhanced near half-filling both for the t-J model at t=J and the repulsive Hubbard model, which is a direct evidence of the metal-insulator transition due to the electron correlation. We observe that the large antiferromagnetic coupling J in the t-J model increases the effective mass. On the other hand, the conductivity in the attractive Hubbard model exhibits quite different properties from the repulsive models.
