Gap problem for the Hubbard chain at finite temperatures: Solution via the Bethe-ansatz method
Arkady L. Kholodenko, Adolph L. Beyerlein
Abstract
The gap equation at zero temperature for the half-filled Hubbard chain obtained by Lieb and Wu is rederived with use of the formalism of Yang and Yang and then the results are extended to the case of finite temperatures. For the values of the coupling constant c in the range 0<c\ensuremath{\le}1.5 the gap \ensuremath{\Delta}(T) exhibits BCS-like behavior \ensuremath{\Delta}(T)=${\ensuremath{\Delta}}_{0}$(1-T/${T}_{c}$${)}^{1/2}$ while for the larger values of c, the data are well approximated by the equation \ensuremath{\Delta}(T)=${\ensuremath{\Delta}}_{0}$(1-T/${T}_{c}$) with ${\ensuremath{\Delta}}_{0}$ being the zero-temperature result of Lieb and Wu for the gap and ${T}_{c}$ some critical transition temperature.
