One-particle irreducible density matrix for the spin disordered infinite $U$ Hubbard chain

The variational determination of the two-particle density matrix is an interesting, but not yet fully explored technique that allows to obtain ground-state properties of a quantum many-body system without reference to an $N$-particle wave function. The one-dimensional fermionic Hubbard model has been studied before with this method, using standard two- and three-index conditions on the density matrix [J. R. Hammond {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. A 73, 062505 (2006)], while a more r...

We have studied the stability of the ferromagnetic state in the infinite-U Hubbard model on a square lattice by approximate diagonalization of finite lattices using the density matrix renormalization group technique. By studying lattices with up to 5X20 sites, we have found the ferromagnetic state to be stable below the hole density of 22 percent. Beyond 22 percent of hole doping, the total spin of the ground state decreased gradually to zero with increasing hole density.

The repulsive Hubbard model has been immensely useful in understanding strongly correlated electron systems, and serves as the paradigmatic model of the field. Despite its simplicity, it exhibits a strikingly rich phenomenology which is reminiscent of that observed in quantum materials. Nevertheless, much of its phase diagram remains controversial. Here, we review a subset of what is known about the Hubbard model, based on exact results or controlled approximate solutions in ...

We calculate the excitation spectra of a spin-polarized Hubbard chain away from half-filling, using a high-precision momentum-resolved time-dependent Density Matrix Renormalization Group method. Focusing on the U<0 case, we present in some detail the single-fermion, pair, density and spin spectra, and discuss how spin-charge separation is altered for this system. The pair spectra show a quasi-condensate at a nonzero momentum proportional to the polarization, as expected for t...

We investigate the grand potential of the one-dimensional Hubbard model in the high temperature limit, calculating the coefficients of the high temperature expansion ($\beta$-expansion) of this function up to order $\beta^4$ by an alternative method. The results derived are analytical and do not involve any perturbation expansion in the hopping constant, being valid for arbitrary density of electrons in the one-dimensional model. In the half-filled case, we compare our anal...

The physics of the strongly interacting Hubbard chain (with $t/U \ll 1$) at finite temperatures undergoes a crossover to a spin incoherent regime when the temperature is very small relative to the Fermi energy, but larger than the characteristic spin energy scale. This crossover can be understood by means of Ogata and Shiba's factorized wave function, where charge and spin are totally decoupled, and assuming that the charge remains in the ground state, while the spin is therm...

The Hubbard model is the simplest model of interacting fermions on a lattice and is of similar importance to correlated electron physics as the Ising model is to statistical mechanics or the fruit fly to biomedical science. Despite its simplicity, the model exhibits an incredible wealth of phases, phase transitions, and exotic correlation phenomena. While analytical methods have provided a qualitative description of the model in certain limits, numerical tools have shown impr...

Charge density waves in the Hubbard chain are studied by means of finite-temperature Quantum Monte Carlo simulations and Lanczos diagonalizations for the ground state. We present results both for the charge susceptibilities and for the charge structure factor at densities \rho=1/6 and 1/3; for \rho=1/2 (quarter filled) we only present results for the charge structure factor. The data are consistent with a 4k_F instability dominating over the 2k_F one, at least for sufficientl...

The extended Hubbard model in the zero-bandwidth limit is studied. The effective Hamiltonian consists of (i) on-site $U$ interaction and intersite (ii) density-density interaction $W$ and (iii) Ising-like magnetic exchange interaction $J$ (between the nearest-neighbors). We present rigorous (and analytical) results obtained within the transfer-matrix method for 1D-chain in two particular cases: (a) $W=0$ and $n=1$; (b) $U\rightarrow+\infty$ and $n=1/2$ ($W\neq 0$, $J\neq 0$)....

The electronic system of the 1D Hubbard model is not stable due to Peierls instability; the correlations are strong even for the weak Coulomb interaction. The resulting strongly correlated state without Landau quisi--particle excitations is known as the Luttinger liquid. Critical exponents of a power--law dependence of correlation functions at low energies differ substantially for the Luttinger and Fermi liquids. In this paper we evaluate two critical exponents that define no...
