Real-space renormalisation-group study of the one-dimensional Hubbard model

Abstract

The one-dimensional Hubbard model is studied using a real-space renormalisation-group block method previously applied to other quantum systems. The authors primarily consider the half-filled band for which the ground state is found to be insulating for all non-zero values of the Hubbard interaction, in agreement with the exact solution. When the method is applied to first order in perturbation, they find that the insulating gap for small U/t behaves like exp (-At 2 /U 2 ) where U is the Hubbard interaction and t is the nearest-neighbour transfer integral. When the method is extended to second order, the authors find that for small U/t the gap behaves like (U/t) alpha with alpha approximately=11.2. The exact asymptotic behaviour of the gap ( approximately (U/t) 1/2 exp(-At/U)) is not recovered, but a good semiquantative agreement with the exact solution is obtained for both the gap and the ground state energy. Extensions to non-half-filled bands and to higher dimensions are discussed. The validity of the renormalisation group method is also discussed.

Real-space renormalization-group study of the two-dimensional Hubbard model

Jesús Pérez-Conde, Pierre M. Pfeuty

The one-band two-dimensional Hubbard Hamiltonian is analyzed using a real-space renormalization-group block method. The renormalization-group method, previously applied to the one-dimensional case has been extended to two dimensions. It is also shown how to avoid the proliferation of new terms during the process if the shape of the blocks and the symmetries of the kept states are chosen conveniently. We characterize the ground state by its energy per site, the gap of charge excitations, the double occupancy, and the effective hopping. The system shows an insulating behavior in the case of half filling for all nonzero interaction parameter, U, if the hopping is isotropic (${\mathit{t}}_{\mathit{y}}$=${\mathit{t}}_{\mathit{x}}$); that is to say, the gap opens for all positive U, as in the one-dimensional case. If the hopping anisotropy, \ensuremath{\alpha}=${\mathit{t}}_{\mathit{y}}$/${\mathit{t}}_{\mathit{x}}$, is different from the unity and zero the ground state is a conductor up to a critical value (U/t${)}_{\mathit{c}1}$, which depends on \ensuremath{\alpha}. We have analyzed in the same way another filling, n=7/9. The system behaves as a conductor, paramagnetic up to a value (U/t${)}_{\mathit{c}2}$\ensuremath{\sim}2 and weakly ferromagnetic for higher values of U.

Renormalization-group study of the Hubbard model

J. E. Hirsch

The ground state of the half-filled Hubbard model is studied using a real-space renormalization-group technique. We first study in detail the one-dimensional case. We find the ground state to be insulating for all finite coupling, in agreement with the exact solution. We compute the ground-state energy, localization length, energy gap, magnitude of the local moment, and spin-density autocorrelation function. For those quantities that are exactly known we find good agreement with the exact results. Using a simple extension of our one-dimensional calculation, we are able to study approximately two- and three-dimensional lattices. We find a Mott transition at finite interaction for these cases. The critical exponents for these transitions are found to satisfy an approximate interdimensional scaling law.

Application of the finite-cell-scaling method to the one-dimensional Hubbard model

B. Fourcade, G. Spronken

The finite-cell-scaling method is applied to the one-dimensional Hubbard model. In the half-filled-band case and at zero temperature, the numerical results obtained for the ground-state energy differ from the exact solution by approximately 1%. For the range $1<\frac{U}{t}<5$, where $U$ is the Coulomb interaction and $t$ is the transfer integral, the value of the normalized gap $\frac{\ensuremath{\Delta}}{t}$ agrees well with the exact result while it differs significantly for $0.2<\frac{U}{t}<0.9$. For the latter range, we show that the gap varies as ${(\frac{U}{t})}^{\frac{1}{2}}\mathrm{exp}[{(a+\frac{\mathrm{bU}}{t})}^{\ensuremath{-}1}]$, where $a$ and $b$ are negative constants which depend on the size of the system, instead of ${(\frac{U}{t})}^{\frac{1}{2}}\mathrm{exp}(\frac{\ensuremath{-}2\ensuremath{\pi}t}{U})$ as in the exact solution.

Renormalisation group method for the polaron effect in the Hubbard Hamiltonian

D. Schmeltzer, Werner R. Hanke

The one-dimensional Hubbard Hamiltonian coupled to a boson field of Einstein oscillators is investigated using the real-space renormalisation group (RG) technique. Choosing N=3 sites per RG bloc, the lowest energy states retained are constructed from direct products of electronic (half-filled band case) and the Einstein oscillator states. The authors scale always to a local picture which is solved exactly. In the limit of 'positive' U going to zero, the effective gap (obtained by elimination of the electron-phonon interaction) also tends to zero. The general behaviour of the effective gap (positive or negative) is separated by a line in the plane (U, lambda / omega 0 1 2/), where lambda is the electron-phonon coupling and omega 0 is the frequency.

The generalized Hubbard model in one dimension: a renormalization group study

B Bhattacharyya, Sanchita Sil

We have modified an existing real space renormalization group scheme to remove some physically inconsistent features and used the rectified method to study the ground state of the one-dimensional Hubbard model with nearest-neighbour repulsion and the bond-charge interaction for half filling. For the nearest-neighbour interaction we find a phase diagram which agrees nicely with the Monte Carlo results. For the case of bond-charge interaction we have reproduced some available exact results and found some interesting information in the parameter regime where no exact solution is available.

A new real-space renormalisation group method for interacting fermions at finite temperatures: application to the Anderson-Hubbard model. I

Arkady L. Kholodenko

A new real-space renormalisation group method is developed and tested for the case of the Anderson-Hubbard model. The development is concentrated on obtaining and subsequent analysis of one-dimensional recurrence relations which take into account the effects of interaction and temperature. The results are presented in a form that naturally permits the extension of the given treatment to the case of higher dimensions and off-diagonal bond percolation type of disorder. Although the method itself is not limited to low temperatures, actual computations were made for the case of low temperatures and weak-electron-electron coupling. For this case, the scaling expressions obtained for the ground-state energy and the energy gap are in satisfactory agreement with available exact results.
