Symmetry breaking in the vertex-renormalized linked-cluster expansion for strongly correlated fermions
M. Bartkowiak, K. A. Chao
Abstract
We have shown that mean-field-type symmetry-breaking approximations for correlated fermions can be constructed by performing vertex renormalization (VR) in the linked-cluster expansion (LCE), just as for the case of lattice spin models. Using the diagrammatic technique for Hubbard operators, we have constructed explicitly a partial VR in the second order of the LCE for the half-filled Hubbard model around the atomic limit. We obtain a crossover from large-U Heisenberg mean-field behavior to zero Ne\ifmmode\acute\else\textasciiacute\fi{}el temperature at U=0.
