Correlation functions for composite operators in the Hubbard model

Abstract

We compute the correlation functions for antiferromagnetic and d-wave superconducting fermion bilinears in a generalized mean field type approximation for the Hubbard model. For high temperature our explicit expressions show that homogeneous field configurations are preferred for these composite bosons. Below a critical temperature we find spontaneous symmetry breaking with homogeneous expectation values of the composite fields. Our results can be used to device a nonperturbative flow equation for the exploration of the low temperature regime.

Functional renormalization for spontaneous symmetry breaking in the Hubbard model

Simon Friederich, H. C. Krahl, CHRISTOF WETTERICH

The phases with spontaneously broken symmetries corresponding to antiferromagnetic and $d$-wave superconducting order in the two-dimensional $t\ensuremath{-}{t}^{'}$-Hubbard model are investigated by means of the functional renormalization group. The introduction of composite boson fields in the magnetic, charge density, and superconducting channels allows an efficient parametrization of the four-fermion vertex and the study of regimes where either the antiferromagnetic or superconducting order parameter, or both, are nonzero. We compute the phase diagram and the temperature dependence of the order parameter below the critical temperature, where antiferromagnetic and superconducting order show a tendency of mutual exclusion.

Spontaneous symmetry breaking in the colored Hubbard model

Tobias Baier, Eike Bick, CHRISTOF WETTERICH

The Hubbard model is reformulated in terms of different ``colored'' fermion species for the electrons or holes at different lattice sites. Antiferromagnetic ordering or d-wave superconductivity can then be described in terms of translationally invariant expectation values for colored composite scalar fields. A suitable mean field approximation for the two-dimensional colored Hubbard model shows indeed phases with antiferromagnetic ordering or d-wave superconductivity at low temperature. At low enough temperature the transition to the antiferromagnetic phase is of first order. The present formulation also allows an easy extension to more complicated microscopic interactions.

Temperature dependence of antiferromagnetic order in the Hubbard model

Tobias Baier, Eike Bick, CHRISTOF WETTERICH

The authors suggest an approximative solution of the two-dimensional Hubbard model close to half-filling. It is based on partial bosonization, supplemented by an investigation of the functional renormalization group flow. The inclusion of the fermionic and bosonic fluctuations leads in lowest order to agreement with Hartree-Fock result or Schwinger-Dyson equation and cures the mean field ambiguity. We compute the temperature dependence of the antiferromagnetic order parameter and the gap below the critical temperature. We argue that the Mermin-Wagner theorem is not practically applicable for the spontaneous breaking of the continuous spin symmetry in the antiferromagnetic state of the Hubbard model. The long distance behavior close to and below the critical temperature is governed by the renormalization flow for the effective interactions of composite Goldstone bosons and deviates strongly from the Hartree-Fock result.

Magnetic and superconducting correlations in the two-dimensional Hubbard model

Walter Metzner, J. Reiss, D. Rohe

The interplay and competition of magnetic and superconducting correlations in the weakly interacting two-dimensional Hubbard Model is investigated by means of the functional renormalization group. At zero temperature the flow of interactions in one-loop approximation evolves into a strong coupling regime at low energy scales, signalling the possible onset of spontaneous symmetry breaking. This is further analyzed by a mean-field treatment of the strong renormalized interactions which takes into account magnetic and superconducting order simultaneously. The effect of strong correlations on single-particle properties in the normal phase is studied by calculating the flow of the self-energy. 1

A MEAN FIELD APPROACH TO THE COLORED HUBBARD MODEL

Tobias Baier, Eike Bick

By subdividing a 2d square lattice into plaquettes containing 4 lattice sites each, the Hubbard Hamiltonian is reformulated in terms of different "colored" fermion species. This makes it possible to describe e.g. antiferromagnetic order or d-wave superconductivity in terms of expectation values of composite scalar fields. A suitable mean field approximation indeed reproduces qualitatively the measured phase diagram and shows a competition between phases with antiferromagnetic ordering and dx2-y2-superconductivity at low temperatures.

Renormalized mean-field analysis of antiferromagnetism and d -wave superconductivity in the two-dimensional Hubbard model

J. Reiss, D. Rohe, Walter Metzner

We analyze the competition between antiferromagnetism and superconductivity in the two-dimensional Hubbard model by combining a functional renormalization group flow with a mean-field theory for spontaneous symmetry breaking. Effective interactions are computed by integrating out states above a scale ${\ensuremath{\Lambda}}_{\mathrm{MF}}$ in one-loop approximation, which captures in particular the generation of an attraction in the $d$-wave Cooper channel from fluctuations in the particle-hole channel. These effective interactions are then used as an input for a mean-field treatment of the remaining low-energy states, with antiferromagnetism, singlet superconductivity, and triplet $\ensuremath{\pi}$ pairing as the possible order parameters. Antiferromagnetism and superconductivity suppress each other, leaving only a small region in parameter space where both orders can coexist with a sizable order parameter for each. Triplet $\ensuremath{\pi}$ pairing appears generically in the coexistence region, but its feedback on the other order parameters is very small.
