Finite temperature spin diffusion in the Hubbard model in the strong coupling limit

We consider the one-dimensional Hubbard model with the infinitely strong repulsion. The two-point dynamical temperature correlation functions are calculated. They are represented as Fredholm determinants of linear integrable integral operators.

We consider charge and spin transport in the one-dimensional Hubbard model at infinite temperature, half-filling and zero magnetization. Implementing matrix-product-operator simulations of the non-equilibrium steady states of boundary-driven open Hubbard chains for up to 100 sites we find clear evidence of diffusive transport for any (non-zero and finite) value of the interaction U.

Finite-temperature T>0 transport properties of integrable and nonintegrable one-dimensional (1D) many-particle quantum systems are rather different, showing in the metallic phases ballistic and diffusive behavior, respectively. The repulsive 1D Hubbard model is an integrable system of wide physical interest. For electronic densities $n\neq1$ it is an ideal conductor, with ballistic charge transport for T larger or equal to 0. In spite that it is solvable by the Bethe ansatz, ...

In this Letter we present a calculation of the one-particle irreducible density matrix $\rho(x)$ for the one-dimensional (1D) Hubbard model in the infinite $U$ limit. We consider the zero temperature spin disordered regime, which is obtained by first taking the limit $U\to \infty$ and then the limit $T\to 0.$ Using the determinant representation for $\rho(x)$ we derive analytical expressions for both large and small $x$ at an arbitrary filling factor $0<\varrho<1/2.$ The larg...

In this article, we show how to recast the Hubbard model in one dimension in a hydrodynamic language and use the path integral approach to compute the one-particle Green function. We compare with the Bethe ansatz results of Schulz and find exact agreement with the formulas for spin and charge velocities and anomalous exponent in weak coupling regime. These methods may be naturally generalized to more than one dimension by simply promoting wavenumbers to wavevectors.

We use tools from integrability and generalized hydrodynamics to study finite-temperature dynamics in the one-dimensional Hubbard model. First, we examine charge, spin, and energy transport away from half-filling and zero magnetization, focusing on the strong coupling regime where we identify a rich interplay of temperature and energy scales, with crossovers between distinct dynamical regimes. We identify an intermediate-temperature regime analogous to the spin-incoherent Lut...

Exact relations are derived for the Fermi Hubbard spectral weight function for infinite U at zero temperature in the thermodynamic limit for any dimension,any lattice structure and general hopping matrix. These relations involve moments of the spectral weight function but differ from similar work by (a) restricting the moments over the interesting low energy (lower Hubbard band) spectrum and (b) without any of the usual approximations (e.g. decoupling) for the requisite highe...

We study charge and heat transport in the square lattice Hubbard model at strong coupling using the finite-temperature Lanczos method. We construct the diffusion matrix and estimate the effect of thermoelectric terms on diffusive and hydrodynamic time evolution. The thermoelectric terms prevent the interpretation of the diffusion in terms of a single time scale. We discuss our results in relation to cold-atom experiments and measurements of heat conductivity based on the meas...

We present a new framework for computing low frequency transport properties of strongly correlated, ergodic systems. Our main assumption is that, when a thermalizing diffusive system is driven at frequency $\omega$, domains of size $\xi \sim\sqrt{D/\omega}$ can be considered as internally thermal, but weakly coupled with each other. We calculate the transport coefficients to lowest order in the coupling, assuming incoherent transport between such domains. Our framework natura...

The asymptotics of the equal-time one-particle Green's function for the half-filled one-dimensional Hubbard model is studied at finite temperature. We calculate its correlation length by evaluating the largest and the second largest eigenvalues of the Quantum Transfer Matrix (QTM). In order to allow for the genuinely fermionic nature of the one-particle Green's function, we employ the fermionic formulation of the QTM based on the fermionic R-operator of the Hubbard model. The...
