t-Matrix Approximation to Two-Dimensional Hubbard Model
Hiroyuki Fukuyama, Yukio Hasegawa
Abstract
The low-density regime of the two-dimensional Hubbard model has been investigated by the t-matrix approximation, i.e., by taking into account the particle-particle ladder processes represented in terms of particle-particle correlation function, K(q, x+iδ). The q-dependence of K(q, x+iδ) in the region of small x has been examined in detail and it is found that the imaginary part of self-energy function of electrons depends on excitation energy, ε, as ε2ln|ε| which are due to contributions involving K(q, x+iδ) with q≃2kF, kF being the fermi momentum. The existence of the upper Hubbard band for the case of large U has also been demonstrated.
