The high-temperature series expansion for quantum spin models is a well-established tool to compute thermodynamic quantities and equal-time spin correlations, in particular for frustrated interactions. We extend the scope of this expansion to the dynamic Matsubara spin-spin correlator and develop an algorithm that yields exact expansion coefficients in the form of rational numbers. We focus on Heisenberg models with a single coupling constant J and spin lengths S=1/2,1. The expansion coefficients up to 12th order in J/T are precomputed on all possible
∼106 graphs embeddable in arbitrary lattices and are provided in a repository. This enables calculation of static momentum-resolved susceptibilities for arbitrary site-pairs or wavevectors. We test our results for the antiferromagnetic S=1/2 chain and triangular lattice model. An important application that we discuss in a companion letter is the calculation of real-frequency dynamic structure factors. This is achieved by identifying the high-frequency expansion coefficients of the Matsubara correlator with frequency moments of the spectral function.
Thermodynamic properties of the SU(
n) Heisenberg model in one dimension is studied by means of high-temperature expansion for arbitrary
n. The specific heat up to
O[(βJ)23] and the correlation function up to
O[(βJ)18] are derived with
βJ being the antiferromagnetic exchange in units of temperature. It is found for
n>2 that the specific heat shows a shoulder in the high-temperature side of a peak. The origin of this structure is clarified by deriving the temperature dependence of the correlation function. With decreasing temperature, the short-range correlation with two-site periodicity develops first, and then another correlation with
n-site periodicity at lower temperature. This behavior is in contrast to that of the inverse square interaction model, where the specific heat shows a single peak according to the exact solution. Our algorithm has an advantage that neither computational time nor memory depends on the multiplicity
n per site; the series coefficients are obtained as explicit functions of
n.
Abstract We present a new algorithm to evaluate the grand potential at high and finite temperatures using many-body perturbation theory. This algorithm enables us to calculate the contribution of any Hugenholtz or Feynman vacuum diagrams and formulate the results as a sum of divided differences. Additionally, the proposed method is applicable to any interaction in any dimension, allowing us to calculate thermodynamic quantities efficiently at any given temperature, particularly at high temperatures.Furthermore, we apply this algorithm to the Heisenberg spin-1/2 XXZ chain. We obtain all coefficients of the high-temperature expansion of the free energy and susceptibility per site of this model up to the sixth order.
