We present a novel solution of the 2D Hubbard model in the framework of the Composite Operator Method within a four-pole approximation. We adopt a basis of four fields: the two Hubbard operators plus two fields describing the Hubbard transitions dressed by nearest-neighbor spin fluctuations. We include these nonlocal operators because spin fluctuations play a dominant role in strongly correlated electronic systems with respect to other types of nonlocal charge, pair and double-occupancy fluctuations. The approximate solution performs very well once compared with advanced (semi-) numerical methods from the weak-to the strong-coupling regime, being by far less computational-resource demanding. We adopt this solution to study the single-particle properties of the model in the strong coupling regime, where the effects of strong short-range magnetic correlations are more relevant and could be responsible for anomalous features. In particular, we will focus on the characterization of the Fermi surface and of its evolution with doping.

The electronic states of the two-dimensional Hubbard model are investigated by means of a 4-pole approximation within the composite operator method. In addition to the conventional Hubbard operators, we consider other two operators which come from the hierarchy of the equations of motion and carry information regarding nearest-neighbor spin and charge configurations. By means of this operatorial basis, we can study the physics related to the energy scale of J=4t2∕U in addition to the one of U. Present results show relevant physical features, well beyond those previously obtained by means of a 2-pole approximation, such as a four-band structure with shadow bands and a quasiparticle peak at the Fermi level. The Fermi level stays pinned to the band flatness located at $(\ensuremath{\pi},0)$-point within a wide range of hole-doping $(0\ensuremath{\leqslant}\ensuremath{\delta}\ensuremath{\leqslant}0.15)$. A comprehensive analysis of double occupancy, internal energy, specific heat and entropy features have also been performed. All reported results are in excellent agreement with the data of numerical simulations.
The Hubbard model is studied within the Composite Operator Method framework in a 4-pole approximation. The operatorial basis is chosen according to both the hierarchy of equations of motion and the exact solution of the model reduced to the minimal cluster (2 sites) where all Hamiltonian terms are still active. Such a recipe amounts to include into the basis not only the two Hubbard operators, which usually take care of the scale of energy related to the on-site Coulomb repulsion U , but also two other non-local operators describing the Hubbard operators dressed by charge, spin and pair fluctuations on the nearest-neighboring sites and addressing the dynamically generated scale of energy related to the exchange J = 4 t 2 / U . The calculation framework is outlined and a very first comparison to numerical simulations, showing very good qualitative and quantitative agreement, is reported. As reference, the results in the 2-pole approximation are also reported and the differences discussed.
The microscopical analysis of the unconventional and puzzling physics of the underdoped cuprates, as carried out lately by means of the composite operator method (COM) applied to the 2D Hubbard model, is reviewed and systematized. The 2D Hubbard model has been adopted as it has been considered the minimal model capable of describing the most peculiar features of cuprates held responsible for their anomalous behavior. COM is designed to endorse, since its foundation, the systematic emergence in any SCS of new elementary excitations described by composite operators obeying noncanonical algebras. In this case (underdoped cuprates—2D Hubbard model), the residual interactions—beyond a 2-pole approximation—between the new elementary electronic excitations, dictated by the strong local Coulomb repulsion and well described by the two Hubbard composite operators, have been treated within the noncrossing approximation. Given this recipe and exploiting the few unknowns to enforce the Pauli principle content in the solution, it is possible to qualitatively describe some of the anomalous features of high-Tc cuprate superconductors such as large versus small Fermi surface dichotomy, Fermi surface deconstruction (appearance of Fermi arcs), nodal versus antinodal physics, pseudogap(s), and kinks in the electronic dispersion. The resulting scenario envisages a smooth crossover between an ordinary weakly interacting metal sustaining weak, short-range antiferromagnetic correlations in the overdoped regime to an unconventional poor metal characterized by very strong, long-but-finite-range antiferromagnetic correlations leading to momentum-selective non-Fermi liquid features as well as to the opening of a pseudogap and to the striking differences between the nodal and the antinodal dynamics in the underdoped regime.
Strongly correlated electron systems with planar structure, like high{Tc superconductors, are currently under intensive study.In the search for a realistic model to describe the anomalous behaviors of these systems, we have studied the 2D Extended Hubbard model by means of the Composite Operator Method.The local properties, the density of states and the Fermi surface have been calculated as functions of the model parameters.Particular attention has been paid to the role played by the intersite interaction V which drives important changes in the electronic properties of the system.
We study the two-dimensional three-band Hubbard model by means of a four-pole approximation within the Composite Operator Method framework. The model has been solved by considering as basic composite field a four-component spinor field, which includes the p field, the two Hubbard operators for the d field, and a composite operator describing the p field dressed by the spin excitations of the d field. This solution correctly reproduces many results of numerical simulations. In this manuscript, we investigate the relationship between p -and d - populations and the band structure of the model, by varying the on-site potential, the charge-transfer gap, the doping and the hopping integral between the p orbitals.
The influence of spin and charge fluctuations on spectra of the two-dimensional fermionic Hubbard model is considered using the strong coupling diagram technique. Infinite sequences of diagrams containing ladder inserts, which describe the interaction of electrons with these fluctuations, are summed, and obtained equations are self-consistently solved for the ranges of Hubbard repulsions [Formula: see text], temperatures [Formula: see text] and electron concentrations [Formula: see text] with t the intersite hopping constant. For all considered U the system exhibits a transition to the long-range antiferromagnetic order at [Formula: see text]. At the same time no indication of charge ordering is observed. Obtained solutions agree satisfactorily with results of other approaches and obey moments sum rules. In the considered region of the U-T plane, the curve separating metallic solutions passes from [Formula: see text] at the highest temperatures to U = 2t at [Formula: see text] for half-filling. If only short-range fluctuations are allowed for the remaining part of this region is occupied by insulating solutions. Taking into account long-range fluctuations leads to strengthening of maxima tails, which transform a part of insulating solutions into bad-metal states. For low T, obtained results allow us to trace the gradual transition from the regime of strong correlations with the pronounced four-band structure and well-defined Mott gap for [Formula: see text] to the Slater regime of weak correlations with the spectral intensity having a dip along the boundary of the magnetic Brillouin zone due to an antiferromagnetic ordering for [Formula: see text]. For [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] doping leads to the occurrence of a pseudogap near the Fermi level, which is a consequence of the splitting out of a narrow band from a Hubbard subband. Obtained spectra feature waterfalls and Fermi arcs, which are similar to those observed in hole-doped cuprates.
