Fermionic linearization scheme with Clifford variables

Abstract

We propose an alternative interpretation of the fermi linarization approach to interacting electron systems, based on the requirement that the coefficients of the linearized operators are Clifford-like variables, whose anticommutator equals an unknown constant c. We apply the approximation to the Falicov-Kimball model, explicitly solving the self-consistency equation for the unknown, which turns out to behave as an order parameter. We discuss its relation with a metal-insulator transition and some thermodynamical quantities. In particular we show that our approximation in the T = 0 limit reproduces exactly the Gutzwiller results for the Hubbard model

Charge-transfer metal-insulator transitions in the spin- 12 Falicov-Kimball model

Woonki Chung, James K. Freericks

The spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ Falicov-Kimball model is solved exactly on an infinite-coordination-number Bethe lattice in the thermodynamic limit. This model is a paradigm for a charge-transfer metal-insulator transition, where the occupancy of localized and delocalized electronic orbitals rapidly changes at the metal-insulator transition (rather than the character of the electronic states changing from insulating to metallic as in a Mott-Hubbard transition). The exact solution displays both continuous and discontinuous (first-order) transitions.

EXACTNESS OF FERMIONIC LINEARIZATION SCHEME WITH CLIFFORD VARIABLES IN d=∞

Arianna Montorsi

We show that the fermionic linearization scheme for dealing with strongly correlated electron systems — when implemented with Clifford variables — becomes exact in the d=∞ limit, at least for Hubbard-like models. In this case, the model is mapped exactly into a single-site problem. The conditions under which such a feature allows to obtain an exact solution are also discussed.

Exactness of fermionic linearization scheme in infinite dimension

Arianna Montorsi

We show that the fermionic linearization scheme for dealing with strongly correlated electron systems - when implemented with Clifford variables - becomes exact in the d = infinity limit, at least for Hubbard-like models. In this case, the model is mapped exactly into a single-site problem. The conditions under which such a feature allows to obtain an exact solution are also discussed

METAL-INSULATOR TRANSITION IN THE HUBBARD MODEL

Arianna Montorsi, Mario Rasetti

We study the metal-insulator transition of the d-dimensional Hubbard model by treating the hopping term between adjacent 1-d chains in the frame of a Clifford linearization scheme, and keeping the full model along the chains. A general equation for the critical point is worked out in terms of the correlation functions of the one-dimensional model, assuming that the transition is of the second order. The equation, which holds at any temperature, is here investigated especially at T=0, where the latter condition holds true. The solution shows the existence of an insulating ground state in any d only at half-filling for U strictly positive, as in the exact 1-d case. The transition is found to be related to a parameter reminiscent of entropy.

The metal-insulator transition and Fermi-liquid behaviour in the infinite-dimensional Hubbard model

S. Wermbter, G. Czycholl

We study the Hubbard model in dimension d= infinity , within an approximation that simultaneously reproduces the atomic limit and the weak-coupling limit up to second order in the interaction strength U. This method, which is a slightly modified version of an approximation suggested by Edwards and Hertz, is applied to the calculation of the self-energy and of the spectral function in the paramagnetic regime for different U, band fillings n, and temperatures T. We find Fermi-liquid behaviour for small U and (for half-filling n=0.5) a metal-insulator (Mott) transition at a critical value U cr , but also a metallic non-Fermi-liquid phase for intermediate values U<U cr . We compare our results with results obtained within the second-order perturbation theory in U and (at finite temperature) with the (essentially exact) quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) results. Qualitatively, the approximation reproduces the correct tendencies obtained by QMC, but in detail there are still discrepancies, in particular for intermediate values of U.
