One-dimensional large-UHubbard model: An analytical approach

Abstract

The basic properties of the Hubbard chain are systematically studied in the large-U regime by a path-integral formalism. The bare electron (hole) is shown to be a composite particle of two basic excitations, holon and spinon, together with the nonlocal string fields. Both holon and spinon are described by fermions with gapless spectra. Based on these quasiparticles, various correlation functions are analytically derived.

Path-integral approach to the one-dimensional large-UHubbard model

Zheng-Yu Weng, D. N. Sheng, C. S. Ting +1 more

A path-integral formalism for the one-dimensional Hubbard model in the strong-coupling regime, which is equivalent to the t-J model in t/U expansion but without any explicit constraint, is developed. Based on this formalism, the zero-temperature properties of the Hubbard chain are systematically studied. In the infinite-U limit, the charge and spin degrees of freedom are shown to be completely separated. Such a separation at U=\ensuremath{\infty} provides a controllable perturbative scheme to study the strong-coupling case. In the large-U regime, the spin degree of freedom is represented by a ``squeezed'' Heisenberg chain. We solve the (squeezed) Heisenberg chain by introducing a soliton representation. Both the charge and spin excitations are found to agree well with the exact solution. The bare electron (hole) is shown to be a composite particle of these basic excitations, i.e., holon and spinon, together with a nonlocal string field. This string field makes the electron behave like a ``semion'' and plays an important role in determining various correlation functions. We analytically derive the asymptotic forms of the spin-spin and density-density correlation functions as well as the single-electron and the pair-electron Green's functions. The implications of the present work to the two-dimensional model are discussed.

One-dimensional Large-U Hubbard Model in Strong Coupling: Charge and Spin Separation

Zheng-Yu Weng, D. N. Sheng, C. S. Ting

A path-integral formalism of the Hubbard model is used to study the one-dimensional large-U case. It is shown that the bare electron (hole) becomes a composite particle of two decoupled excitations, holon and spinon, together with the non-local string fields. Various correlation functions are analytically derived. The results strongly suggest a U*=∞ fixed point of Hubbard model which is distinct from the weak coupling case.

GROUND-STATE PROPERTIES AND ELEMENTARY EXCITATIONS OF THE ONE-DIMENSIONAL HUBBARD MODEL

J. M. P. Carmelo, D. Baeriswyl

The ground state of the one-dimensional Hubbard Hamiltonian is discussed on the basis of the Bethe ansatz solution of Lieb and Wu. A simple analytical representation of the distribution functions for charge and spin degrees of freedom is derived. The elementary excitations are associated with electron-hole pairs of two pseudo-fermion systems, one for the charge, the other for the magnetic excitations. Spinons and holons correspond to ground state configurations of odd-numbered rings. It is argued that holons will form bound pairs in weakly coupled chains.

Elementary objects of the 1D Hubbard model

J. M. P. Carmelo

Exotic elementary objects such as "holons" and "spinons", which are widely used in descriptions of correlated electrons in reduced spatial dimensions, were introduced from analysis of the excitation branches of one-dimensional (1D) models. The 1D Hubbard model with effective nearest-neighbor hopping integral t and on-site repulsion U is a prominent example. In the last twenty years a large number of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy experiments as well as electron energy-loss spectroscopic studies and high-resolution resonant inelastic X-ray experiments on several quasi-1D metals and quasi-1D Mott-Hubbard insulators have observed separate charge and spin spectral features, which have been identified with "holons" and "spinons". The elementary objects emerging within non-perturbative 1D correlated systems play now the same role in actual low-dimensional materials as Fermi-liquid quasiparticles in three-dimensional metals. The main goal of this paper is the review of representations of the 1D Hubbard model physics in terms of elementary objects whose configurations generate the energy eigenstates from the electron or hole vacuum. In addition, the relation to the holon and spinon representations is discussed and clarified.

Spectral Properties of Composite Excitations in the t–J Model

Takashi Otaki, Yuta Yahagi, Hiroaki Matsueda

In quantum many-body systems, the equation of motion for a simple fermionic operator does not close, and higher-order processes induce composite operators dressed with several types of nonlocal quantum fluctuation. We systematically examine the spectral properties of these composite excitations in the t–J model in one spatial dimension by both numerical and theoretical approaches. Of particular interest, with the help of the Bethe ansatz for the large-U Hubbard model, is the classification of which composite excitations are due to the string excitation, which is usually hidden in the single-particle spectrum, as well as the spinon and holon branches. We examine how the mixing between the spinon and string excitations is prohibited in terms of the composite operator method. Owing to the dimensionality independent nature of the present approach, we discuss the implications of the mixing in close connection with the pseudogap in high-Tc cuprates.

Exact results of the one-dimensional repulsive Hubbard model

Jiajia Luo, Han Pu, Xi-Wen Guan

Abstract We present analytical results of the fundamental properties of the one-dimensional (1D) Hubbard model with a repulsive interaction. The new model results with arbitrary external fields include: (I) using the exact solutions of the Bethe ansatz equations of the Hubbard model, we first rigorously calculate the gapless spin and charge excitations, exhibiting exotic features of fractionalized spinons and holons. We then investigate the gapped excitations in terms of the spin string and the k − Λ string bound states at arbitrary driving fields, showing subtle differences in spin magnons and charge η -pair excitations. (II) For a high-density and high spin magnetization region, i.e. near the quadruple critical point, we further analytically obtain the thermodynamic properties, dimensionless ratios and scaling functions near quantum phase transitions. (III) Importantly, we give the general scaling functions at quantum criticality for arbitrary filling and interaction strength. These can directly apply to other integrable models. (IV) Based on the fractional excitations and the scaling laws, the spin-incoherent Luttinger liquid (SILL) with only the charge propagation mode is elucidated by the asymptotic of the two-point correlation functions with the help of conformal field theory. We also, for the first time, obtain the analytical results of the thermodynamics for the SILL. (V) Finally, to capture deeper insights into the Mott insulator and interaction-driven criticality, we further study the double occupancy and propose its associated contact and contact susceptibilities, through which an adiabatic cooling scheme based upon quantum criticality is proposed. In this scenario, we build up general relations among arbitrary external- and internal-potential-driven quantum phase transitions, providing a comprehensive understanding of quantum criticality. Our methods offer rich perspectives of quantum integrability and offer promising guidance for future experiments with interacting electrons and ultracold atoms, both with and without a lattice.
