Using the recently perfected sea-boson method, we compute the momentum distribution of the one-band Hubbard model in one and two spatial dimensions. We compute the asymptotic features of the momentum distribution explicitly away from half filling for weak coupling in one and two dimensions. While the results are not exact by any means, they provide the exact asymptotics, namely they are able to reproduce the exponents obtained by Shulz in one dimension obtained using Bethe ansatz. The corresponding results in more than one dimension are therefore as believeable.
A new analytical method is proposed for solving the Hubbard model in d-dimensions. The method permits, in principle, the study of the Hubbard model at any temperature and any band filling. The accuracy of the method is tested against known Bethe ansatz results of Lieb and Wu (1968), and against known weak- and strong-coupling expansion results. The one-dimensional path integral solution obtained for the ground-state (half-filled band case) is in excellent qualitative agreement with Bethe ansatz results for all couplings and exactly reproduces weak- and strong-coupling expansion results.
