The momentum distribution function n(k) and spin-correlation function S(k) are determined for the one-dimensional large-U Hubbard model with various electron densities. The present work is featured with an application of the Bethe-ansatz wave function, which has a simple form in the large-U limit for any electron density. Namely, its charge degrees of freedom are expressed as a Slater determinant of spinless fermions, while its spin degrees of freedom are equivalent to the one-dimensional S=(1/2 Heisenberg model. The singularity of n(k) at k=
kF is analyzed from the system size dependence. In addition to the
kF singularity, n(k) has a weak singularity at k=3
kF; however, no detectable singularity is present at 2
kF, which one might expect from the spinless fermion wave function. The singularity of S(k) at 2
kF is also examined in detail. It is concluded from the size dependence that, when the system is away from half-filling, the nature of the singularity at 2
kF is different from that in the Heisenberg model. The results are compared with the behavior in the weak-correlation regime examined with the perturbation calculation, the prediction of g-ology, and recent Monte Carlo calculations.
We calculate the behaviour of the momentum distribution function n ( k ) for the ground state of the one-dimensional Hubbard model with arbitrary band filling in the weak-coupling regime. For the incommensurate case and U > 0 we derive the variation of n ( k ) in the vicinity of the Fermi wave vector k F and find a power law behaviour with a maximum exponent of one instead of a discontinuous jump. We also make a comparison with the n ( k ) obtained from recent Monte Carlo simulations and conclude that these numerical results are still seriously affected by finite-size effects. We finally consider the half-filled band and find a linear variation of n ( k ) close to k F , the scale being set by the charge gap of the Hubbard model.
A new analytical method is proposed for solving the Hubbard model in d-dimensions. The method permits, in principle, the study of the Hubbard model at any temperature and any band filling. The accuracy of the method is tested against known Bethe ansatz results of Lieb and Wu (1968), and against known weak- and strong-coupling expansion results. The one-dimensional path integral solution obtained for the ground-state (half-filled band case) is in excellent qualitative agreement with Bethe ansatz results for all couplings and exactly reproduces weak- and strong-coupling expansion results.
The authors investigate the half-filled Hubbard model in one and two dimensions using approximations to the energy expressed as functionals of the momentum distribution. The functionals are calculated using the Hartree-Fock approximation and density functional theory in the local-spin-density and self-interaction-corrected (SIC) local-spin-density approximations (LSDA) by expressing the ground-state spin densities as a variational ansatz in which the momentum distribution enters as a variational quantity. The autthors calculate the momentum distribution, energy and local moment, as well as their ansatz orbitals, in all three approximations and find that the SIC always improves upon the LSDA.
We investigate the application of the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) to the Hubbard model in momentum space. We treat the one-dimensional models with dispersion relations corresponding to nearest-neighbor hopping and
1/r hopping and the two-dimensional model with isotropic nearest-neighbor hopping. By comparing with the exact solutions for both one-dimensional models and with exact diagonalization in two dimensions, we first investigate the convergence of the ground-state energy. We find variational convergence of the energy with the number of states kept for all models and parameter sets. In contrast to the real-space algorithm, the accuracy becomes rapidly worse with increasing interaction and is not significantly better at half filling. We compare the results for different dispersion relations at fixed interaction strength over bandwidth and find that extending the range of the hopping in one dimension has little effect, but that changing the dimensionality from one to two leads to lower accuracy at weak-to-moderate interaction strength. In the one-dimensional models at half filling, we also investigate the behavior of the single-particle gap, the dispersion of spinon excitations, and the momentum distribution function. For the single-particle gap, we find that proper extrapolation in the number of states kept is important. For the spinon dispersion, we find that good agreement with the exact forms can be achieved at weak coupling if the large momentum-dependent finite-size effects are taken into account for nearest-neighbor hopping. For the momentum distribution, we compare with various weak-coupling and strong-coupling approximations and discuss the importance of finite-size effects as well as the accuracy of the DMRG.
