Strong-Coupling Expansion for the Hubbard Model

Abstract

A strong-coupling expansion for models of correlated electrons in any dimension is presented. The method is applied to the Hubbard model in $d$ dimensions and compared with numerical results in $d\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}1$. Third order expansion of the Green's function suffices to exhibit both the Mott metal-insulator transition and a low-temperature regime where antiferromagnetic correlations are strong. It is predicted that some of the weak photoemission signals observed in one-dimensional systems such as ${\mathrm{SrCuO}}_{2}$ should become stronger as temperature increases away from the spin-charge separated state.

Influence of spin and charge fluctuations on spectra of the two-dimensional Hubbard model

A. Sherman

The influence of spin and charge fluctuations on spectra of the two-dimensional fermionic Hubbard model is considered using the strong coupling diagram technique. Infinite sequences of diagrams containing ladder inserts, which describe the interaction of electrons with these fluctuations, are summed, and obtained equations are self-consistently solved for the ranges of Hubbard repulsions [Formula: see text], temperatures [Formula: see text] and electron concentrations [Formula: see text] with t the intersite hopping constant. For all considered U the system exhibits a transition to the long-range antiferromagnetic order at [Formula: see text]. At the same time no indication of charge ordering is observed. Obtained solutions agree satisfactorily with results of other approaches and obey moments sum rules. In the considered region of the U-T plane, the curve separating metallic solutions passes from [Formula: see text] at the highest temperatures to U = 2t at [Formula: see text] for half-filling. If only short-range fluctuations are allowed for the remaining part of this region is occupied by insulating solutions. Taking into account long-range fluctuations leads to strengthening of maxima tails, which transform a part of insulating solutions into bad-metal states. For low T, obtained results allow us to trace the gradual transition from the regime of strong correlations with the pronounced four-band structure and well-defined Mott gap for [Formula: see text] to the Slater regime of weak correlations with the spectral intensity having a dip along the boundary of the magnetic Brillouin zone due to an antiferromagnetic ordering for [Formula: see text]. For [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] doping leads to the occurrence of a pseudogap near the Fermi level, which is a consequence of the splitting out of a narrow band from a Hubbard subband. Obtained spectra feature waterfalls and Fermi arcs, which are similar to those observed in hole-doped cuprates.

Strong-coupling expansion for the momentum distribution of the Bose-Hubbard model with benchmarking against exact numerical results

James K. Freericks, H. R. Krishnamurthy, Yasuyuki Kato +2 more

A strong-coupling expansion for the Green's functions, self-energies, and correlation functions of the Bose-Hubbard model is developed. We illustrate the general formalism, which includes all possible (normal-phase) inhomogeneous effects in the formalism, such as disorder or a trap potential, as well as effects of thermal excitations. The expansion is then employed to calculate the momentum distribution of the bosons in the Mott phase for an infinite homogeneous periodic system at zero temperature through third order in the hopping. By using scaling theory for the critical behavior at zero momentum and at the critical value of the hopping for the Mott insulator--to--superfluid transition along with a generalization of the random-phase-approximation-like form for the momentum distribution, we are able to extrapolate the series to infinite order and produce very accurate quantitative results for the momentum distribution in a simple functional form for one, two, and three dimensions. The accuracy is better in higher dimensions and is on the order of a few percent relative error everywhere except close to the critical value of the hopping divided by the on-site repulsion. In addition, we find simple phenomenological expressions for the Mott-phase lobes in two and three dimensions which are much more accurate than the truncated strong-coupling expansions and any other analytic approximation we are aware of. The strong-coupling expansions and scaling-theory results are benchmarked against numerically exact quantum Monte Carlo simulations in two and three dimensions and against density-matrix renormalization-group calculations in one dimension. These analytic expressions will be useful for quick comparison of experimental results to theory and in many cases can bypass the need for expensive numerical simulations.

Critical Properties of the Mott Transition in the Hubbard Model

Goetz Moeller, Qimiao Si A, Gabriel Kotliar +1 more

We introduce a systematic low-energy approach to strongly correlated electron systems in infinite dimensions, and apply it to the problem of the correlation-induced metal-insulator transition in the half-filled Hubbard model. We determine the low-energy scaling functions of the metallic state, including the single-particle Green function and dynamical spin susceptibility, as well as thermodynamic properties and relate them to experimental data in transition metal oxides.

Strong-coupling expansion for the spin-1 Bose-Hubbard model

T. Kimura

In this study, we perform a strong-coupling expansion up to third order of the hopping parameter $t$ for the spin-1 Bose-Hubbard model with antiferromagnetic interaction. As expected from previous studies, the Mott-insulator phase is considerably more stable against the superfluid phase when filling with an even number of bosons than when filling with an odd number of bosons. The phase-boundary curves are consistent with the perturbative mean-field theory in the limit of infinite dimensions. The critical value of the hopping parameter ${t}_{\mathrm{C}}$ at the peak of the Mott lobe depends on the antiferromagnetic interaction. This result indicates the reliability of the strong-coupling expansion when ${U}_{2}$ possesses large (intermediate) values for Mott lobe with an even (odd) number of bosons. Moreover, in order to improve our results, we apply a few extrapolation methods up to infinite order in $t$. The fitting results of the phase-boundary curves agree better with those of the perturbative mean-field approximation. In addition, the linear fit error of ${t}_{\mathrm{C}}$ is very small for the strong antiferromagnetic interaction.

We introduce a systematic approach to analyze the low-energy behavior of strongly correlated electron systems in infinite dimensions, and apply it to the metal-insulator transition in the half-filled Hubbard model. We determine the low-energy scaling functions of the metallic state, including the single-particle Green function and dynamical spin susceptibility, as well as thermodynamic properties. Comparisons are made with experimental data on transition metal oxides.

Two-dimensional Hubbard model at finite temperature: Weak, strong, and long correlation regimes

Fedor Šimkovic, Riccardo Rossi, Michel Ferrero

We investigate the momentum-resolved spin and charge susceptibilities, as well as the chemical potential and double occupancy in the two-dimensional Hubbard model as functions of doping, temperature, and interaction strength. Through these quantities, we identify a weak-coupling regime, a strong-coupling regime with short-range correlations and an intermediate-coupling regime with long magnetic correlation lengths. In the spin channel, we observe an additional crossover from commensurate to incommensurate correlations. In contrast, we find charge correlations to be only short ranged for all studied temperatures, which suggests that the spin and charge responses are decoupled. These findings were obtained by a connected determinant diagrammatic Monte Carlo algorithm for the computation of double expansions, which we introduce in this paper. This permits us to obtain numerically exact results at temperatures as low as $T=0.067$ and interactions up to $U=7$, while working on arbitrarily large lattices. Our method also allows us to gain physical insights from investigating the analytic structure of perturbative series. We connect to previous work by studying smaller lattice geometries and report substantial finite-size effects.
