Dynamical Mean Field Theory with the Density Matrix Renormalization Group

Abstract

A new numerical method for the solution of the dynamical mean field theory's self-consistent equations is introduced. The method uses the density matrix renormalization group technique to solve the associated impurity problem. The new algorithm makes no a priori approximations and is only limited by the number of sites that can be considered. We obtain accurate estimates of the critical values of the metal-insulator transitions and provide evidence of substructure in the Hubbard bands of the correlated metal. With this algorithm, more complex models having a larger number of degrees of freedom can be considered and finite-size effects can be minimized.

Cluster Mean-Field Approach with Density Matrix Renormalization Group: Application to the Hard-Core Bosonic Hubbard Model on a Triangular Lattice

Ryota Suzuki, Akihisa Koga

We introduce a new numerical method for the solution of self-consistent equations in the cluster mean-field theory. The method uses the density matrix renormalization group method to solve the associated cluster problem. We obtain an accurate critical value of the supersolid-superfluid transitions in the hard-core bosonic Hubbard model on a triangular lattice, which is comparable with the recent quantum Monte Carlo results. This algorithm is applicable to more general classes of models with a larger number of degrees of freedom.

Numerical renormalization group calculations for the self-energy of the impurity Anderson model

R. Bulla, Alex C. Hewson, Thomas Pruschke

We present a new method for calculating directly the one-particle self-energy of an impurity Anderson model with Wilson's numerical renormalization group method by writing this quantity as the ratio of two correlation functions. This way of calculating turns out to be considerably more reliable and accurate than that via the impurity Green's function alone. We give results for the self-energy for the case of a constant coupling between the impurity and the conduction band and the effective arising in the dynamical mean-field theory of the Hubbard model. The implications of the problem of the metal-insulator transition in the Hubbard model are also discussed.

Finite-temperature numerical renormalization group study of the Mott transition

R. Bulla, Theo A. Costi, D. Vollhardt

Wilson's numerical renormalization group method for the calculation of dynamic properties of impurity models is generalized to investigate the effective impurity model of the dynamical mean-field theory at finite temperatures. We calculate the spectral function and self-energy for the Hubbard model on a Bethe lattice with infinite coordination number directly on the real-frequency axis and investigate the phase diagram for the Mott-Hubbard metal-insulator transition. While for $T<{T}_{\mathrm{c}}\ensuremath{\approx}0.02W$ $(W:$ bandwidth) we find hysteresis with first-order transitions both at ${U}_{\mathrm{c}1}$ (defining the insulator to metal transition) and at ${U}_{\mathrm{c}2}$ (defining the metal to insulator transition), at $T>{T}_{\mathrm{c}}$ there is a smooth crossover from metalliclike to insulatinglike solutions.

Dynamical density-matrix renormalization group for the Mott–Hubbard insulator in high dimensions

Satoshi Nishimoto, Florian Gebhard, Eric Jeckelmann

We study the Hubbard model at half band-filling on a Bethe lattice with infinite coordination number in the paramagnetic insulating phase at zero temperature. We use the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) mapping to a single-impurity Anderson model with a bath whose properties have to be determined self-consistently. For a controlled and systematic implementation of the self-consistency scheme we use the fixed-energy (FE) approach to the DMFT. In FE-DMFT the onset and the width of the Hubbard bands are adjusted self-consistently but the energies of the bath levels are kept fixed relatively to both band edges during the calculation of self-consistent hybridization strengths between impurity and bath sites. Using the dynamical density-matrix renormalization group method (DDMRG) we calculate the density of states with a resolution ranging from 3% of the bare bandwidth $W=4t$ at high energies to 0.5% in the vicinity of the gap. The DDMRG resolution and accuracy for the density of states and the gap is superior to those obtained with other numerical methods in previous DMFT investigations. We find that the Mott gap closes at a critical coupling $U_{\rm c}/t=4.45 \pm 0.05$. At $U=4.5t$, we observe prominent shoulders near the onset of the Hubbard bands. They are the remainders of the quasi-particle resonance in the metallic phase which appears to split when the gap opens at $U_{\rm c}$.

Solving the Multi-site and Multi-orbital Dynamical Mean Field Theory Using Density Matrix Renormalization

Y. Núñez-Fernández, K. Hallberg

We implement an efficient numerical method to calculate response functions of complex impurities based on the Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) and use it as the impurity-solver of the Dynamical Mean Field Theory (DMFT). This method uses the correction vector to obtain precise Green's functions on the real frequency axis at zero temperature. By using a self-consistent bath configuration with very low entanglement, we take full advantage of the DMRG to calculate dynamical response functions paving the way to treat large effective impurities such as those corresponding to multi-orbital interacting models and multi-site or multi-momenta clusters. This method leads to reliable calculations of non-local self energies at arbitrary dopings and interactions and at any energy scale.
