Superconducting correlation of the Hubbard model on a square lattice is reinvestigated by quantum Monte Carlo method. Results from more than one order of magnitude larger Monte Carlo steps than before are presented to discuss the convergence of the data to the ground state. By examining the dependence on the choice of initial trial states as well as on the Trotter number in detail, the superconducting correlation in the ground state is reliably obtained up to 12×12 lattice away from the half-filling and up to 16×16 lattice at the half-filling, which substantially improve former results near the half-filling. Various channels of pairing in the ground state show no system size dependence and remain quite short ranged at any filling including the region close to the half-filling. Numerical data show further evidence that neither extended s - nor d -wave superconducting state is possible in the two-dimensional Hubbard model.
Using the quantum Monte Carlo simulation technique for the lattice fermion systems, we study the charge susceptibility of the two-dimensional Hubbard near the half-filled band. Lattice sizes up to 6×6 and inverse temperatures up to 6 t ( t : hopping parameter) are studied. We find that the behavior of the charge susceptibility is strongly dependent on the electron concentration at low temperature: the charge susceptibility is suppressed at the half-filled band, while it is considerably enhanced in non-half-filled band cases by the electron correlation. The above behavior of the charge susceptibility is quite similar to the recent Bethe-Ansatz result for the one-dimensional Hubbard model.
A Quantum Monte Carlo method of calculating operator expectation values for the ground state of the nearest-neighbor Heisenberg model on large square lattices is presented, along with some comparisons of the results obtained from this method and alternative methods for 2D lattices. In the simulations the ground state is projected out from an arbitrary state and sampled in a valence\nbond basis spanning the spin singlet subspace. The projection method is then extended to be used on a simplified Hubbard model at half-filling, which is\naptly called the T0-less Hubbard model, for arbitrary relative strengths of the electron hopping and electron-electron repulsion energy parameters. Results for calculated ground state energies in 1D are presented. These calculations are performed using a spin-charge separated basis, in which the valence bonds\nare generalized to also carry charge.
