We have calculated the spin correlation length of the half-filled one-dimensional Hubbard model down to the temperature of T =0.01×(transfer integral) by the Bethe-Ansatz method for the quantum transfer matrix. Its temperature dependence shows the crossover from (2 log π T ) -1 at high temperatures to a T -1 with the log corrections at low temperatures, the low- T behavior being consistent with the prediction by the conformal field theory. When the Coulomb repulsion U is small, we have found at low temperatures another crossover in the proportional constant a from the value for the free electron system to that for the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model. This crossover is due to the disappearance of charge fluctuation. A similar crossover has been observed for the linear coefficient of specific heat, C / T .

We study finite-temperature transport properties of the one-dimensional Hubbard model using the density matrix renormalization group. Our aim is twofold: First, we compute both the charge- and the spin-current correlation function of the integrable model at half filling. The former decays rapidly, implying that the corresponding Drude weight is either zero or very small. Second, we calculate the optical charge conductivity ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{r}eg(\ensuremath{\omega})$ in the presence of small integrability-breaking next-nearest-neighbor interactions (the extended Hubbard model). The dc conductivity is finite and diverges as the temperature is decreased below the gap. Our results thus suggest that the half-filled, gapped Hubbard model is a normal charge conductor at finite temperatures. As a test bed for our numerics, we compute ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{r}eg(\ensuremath{\omega})$ for the integrable XXZ spin chain in its gapped phase.
We study the thermodynamics of the one-dimensional extended Hubbard model at half filling using a density-matrix renormalization group method applied to transfer matrices. We show that the various phase transitions in this system can be detected by measuring usual thermodynamic quantities such as the isothermal compressibility and the uniform magnetic susceptibility. For the isothermal compressibility, we show that universal crossing points exist, which allow us to accurately determine the line where the charge gap vanishes. By studying, in addition, several correlation functions, we confirm the existence of a phase with long-range dimer order (bond order), which has been a matter of debate for several years. According to our calculations, this phase is located in a narrow region between the spin-density and charge-density wave phases up to a tricritical point, which we estimate to be at ${U}_{t}=6.7\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.2$, ${V}_{t}=3.5\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.1$. Our results for the phase diagram are in good agreement with the most recent zero-temperature density-matrix renormalization group study; however, they disagree in some important aspects from the most recent Quantum-Monte-Carlo study.
We formulate correlation functions for a one-dimensional interacting spinless fermion model at finite temperature. By combination of a lattice path integral formulation for thermodynamics with the algebraic Bethe ansatz for fermion systems, the equal-time oneparticle Green’s function at arbitrary particle density is expressed as a multiple integral form. Our formula reproduces previously known results in the following three limits: the zero-temperature, the infinite-temperature and the free fermion limits. PACS numbers: 05.30.-d, 71.10.Fd, 02.30.Ik 1
We describe a low-temperature approach to the two-dimensional half-filled Hubbard model which allows us to study both antiferromagnetism and single-particle properties. This approach ignores amplitude fluctuations of the antiferromagnetic (AF) order parameter and is valid below a crossover temperature
TX which marks the onset of AF short-range order. Directional fluctuations (spin waves) are described by a nonlinear sigma model $(\mathrm{NL}\ensuremath{\sigma}\mathrm{M})$ that we derive from the Hubbard model. The parameters of the $\mathrm{NL}\ensuremath{\sigma}\mathrm{M}$---the spin stiffness and spin-wave velocity---are calculated as a function of the Coulomb repulsion U. The $\mathrm{NL}\ensuremath{\sigma}\mathrm{M}$ is solved by a saddle-point approximation within the
CP1 representation where the N\'eel field is parametrized by two Schwinger bosons. At zero temperature, there is always Bose condensation of the Schwinger bosons, which signals AF long-range order for any value of the Coulomb repulsion. At finite temperature, the AF long-range order is suppressed (in agreement with the Mermin-Wagner theorem), but the AF correlation length remains exponentially large. In the
CP1 representation, the fermion field is naturally expressed as the product of a Schwinger boson and a pseudofermion whose spin is quantized along the (fluctuating) N\'eel field. This allows us to write the fermion Green's function as the product (in direct space) of the Schwinger boson propagator (which is derived from the $\mathrm{NL}\ensuremath{\sigma}\mathrm{M})$ and the pseudofermion propagator. At zero temperature and weak coupling, our results are typical of a Slater antiferromagnet. The AF gap is exponentially small; there are well-defined Bogoliubov quasiparticles (QP's) (carrying most of the spectral weight) coexisting with a high-energy incoherent excitation background. As U increases, the Slater antiferromagnet progressively becomes a Mott-Heisenberg antiferromagnet. The Bogoliubov bands evolve into Mott-Hubbard bands separated by a large AF gap. A significant fraction of spectral weight is transferred from the Bogoliubov QP's to incoherent excitations. At finite temperature, there is a metal-insulator transition between a pseudogap phase at weak coupling and a Mott-Hubbard insulator at strong coupling. Finally, we point out that our results straightforwardly translate to the half-filled attractive Hubbard model, where the $\mathbf{q}=(\ensuremath{\pi},\ensuremath{\pi})$ charge and
q=0 pairing fluctuations combine to form an order parameter with SO(3) symmetry.
