Abstract
We extend previous calculations of the $2{k}_{F}$ and $4{k}_{F}$ (${k}_{F}\ensuremath{\equiv}\mathrm{Fermi}\mathrm{wave}\mathrm{vector}$) spin- and charge-density autocorrelation functions of the one-dimensional Hubbard model by including the nearest-neighbor Coulomb interaction $V$. The results are computed for finite chains containing up to eight sites using a computer renormalization-group technique previously developed by us. We find, inter alia, that the real part of the $4{k}_{F}$ charge-density wave (CDW), which is comparable to the real part of the $2{k}_{F}$ CDW when only large onsite Coulomb repulsion is considered, becomes greatly enhanced relative to the $2{k}_{F}$ CDW when $V$ is positive. This finding implies that the $V$ interaction is important in explaining the $4{k}_{F}$ instability of some quasi-one-dimensional materials.
