We have studied the ground state of the two-dimensional (2D) Hubbard model by using a quantum monte method paying special attention to the shell structure effect on finite size clusters. Our calculations show there is a gap for spin excitations in the ground state and incommensurate peaks at
(π±δ,π) and
(π,π±δ) in the spin correlation function for a low lying excited state. In the ground state, the long range part of the d-wave superconducting correlation function is enhanced and the momentum distribution function at the Fermi level
(π,0) is rounded. The gap in spin excitations and the momentum distribution function rounding is consistent with opening a d-wave superconducting gap in the ground state.
We investigated the one-dimensional extended Hubbard model with the on-site interaction U and the nearest-neighbor interaction V by using the numerical diagonalization method. Assuming the Luttinger liquid relations, we obtained the phase diagram of the ground state on the U - V plane. In the weak coupling region, the phase diagram agrees with the result of g -ology. On the other hand, in the strong coupling region for V ≫∣ t ∣, a novel superconducting phase appears both for positive and negative U . We also investigated the charge gap and the spin gap. The results suggest that the superconducting phase extends over the Tomonaga-Luttinger region (without spin gap) and the Luther-Emery region (with spin gap).
