Abstract. In this paper we derive general expressions for few-electron spectral functions of the one-dimensional Hubbard model for values of the excitation energy in the vicinity of the M th upper-Hubbard band lower limit. Here M = 1, 2,... is the rotated-electron double occupation, which vanishes for the ground state and is a good quantum number for all values of the on-site Coulomb repulsion U. Our studies rely on a combination of symmetries of the model with a recent finite-energy holon and spinon description of the quantum problem. We apply our general scheme to the one-electron addition spectral function, dynamical structure factor, and spin singlet Cooper pair addition spectral function. Our results provide physically interesting information about the finite-energy spectral properties of the many-electron one-dimensional quantum liquid.

Calculations of the one-electron spectral function of the $t\ensuremath{-}J$ model on a two-dimensional square lattice are described. A large-
N generalization of the $t\ensuremath{-}J$ model is used to develop
1/N expansions, and the $t\ensuremath{-}J$ model constraint is enforced by slave bosons. The saddle point about which the
1/N expansion is carried out is chosen to be uniform in both space and time, and self-energies are calculated to next-to-leading order in
1/N as in the work of Z. Wang et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 67, 2733 (1991)]. The results of computations of the one-electron electron spectral functions for wave vectors throughout the Brillouin zone are presented for several values of the exchange coupling
J/t and doping $\ensuremath{\delta}$. A sharp dispersive quasiparticle peak is found near the Fermi energy. Additional spectral weight occurs at lower frequencies, and this arises from features in the normal self-energy. These features are qualitatively similar to the self-energy obtained by Kampf and Schrieffer [Phys. Rev. B 41, 6399 (1990)] from a parametrized model of an electron coupled to antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations that leads to shadow band structure in the one-electron spectral function.
