Metal to Insulator Transition in the 2-D Hubbard Model: A Slave Boson Approach

The cluster slave-spin method is implemented to research the ground state properties of the honeycomb lattice Hubbard model with doping $\delta$ and coupling $U$ being its parameters. At half-filling, a single direct and continuous phase transition between the semi-metal and antiferromagnetic (AFM) insulator is found at $U_{\text{AFM}}=2.43t$ that is in the Gross-Neveu-Yukawa universality class, where a relation between the staggered magnetization $M$ and the AFM energy gap $...

The ground--state magnetic phase diagram is investigated for the two-- and three--dimensional $t$--$t'$ Hubbard model. We take into account commensurate ferro--, antiferromagnetic, and incommensurate (spiral) magnetic phases, as well as phase separation into magnetic phases of different types, which was often missed in previous investigations. We trace the influence of correlation effects on the stability of both spiral and collinear magnetic order by comparing the results of...

The antiferromagnetic ground state of the half-filled Hubbard model with the doubly degenerate orbital has been studied by using the slave-boson mean-field theory which was previously proposed by the present author. Numerical calculations for the simple cubic model have shown that the metal-insulator transition does not take place except at the vanishing interaction point, in strong contrast with its paramagnetic solution. The energy gap in the density of states of the antife...

In cond-mat/0306131 Huang {\em et al.} reported for the first time a numerical evidence for the predominance of small phonon momenta in the electron-phonon coupling induced by electronic correlation. They report also an upturn of the electron-phonon vertex function for small momenta as function of the Hubbard repulsion $U$ for sufficient large $U$. In this comment we compare their Quantum Monte Carlo data with analytical results based on slave-boson techniques for generic $U$...

The ground-state magnetic phase diagram is investigated within the single-band Hubbard model for square and different cubic lattices. The results of employing the generalized non-correlated mean-field (Hartree-Fock) approximation and generalized slave-boson approach by Kotliar and Ruckenstein with correlation effects included are compared. We take into account commensurate ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic, and incommensurate (spiral) magnetic phases, as well as phase separati...

In this study the metal-insulator transition in the square-lattice Hubbard model at half-filling is revisited in relation to the DOS and spectral functions by means of the ladder dual fermion approximation (LDFA). For this purpose, a new expression of the two-body Green's function in the form of resolvents is proposed, which provides tractable and efficient means to calculate the local vertex function with the Lanczos exact diagonalization (ED) method. This makes it possible ...

We determine the symmetry of Cooper pairs, on the basis of the perturbation theory in terms of the Coulomb interaction $U$, for the two-dimensional Hubbard model on the square lattice. The phase diagram is investigated in detail. The Hubbard model for small $U$ is mapped onto an effective Hamiltonian with the attractive interaction using the canonical transformation: $H_{eff}=e^S He^{-S}$. The gap equation of the weak coupling formulation is solved without numerical ambiguity...

In this Letter we analyze the coexisting ordered phases that arise in the half-filled $\varepsilon$-t-U-V extended Hubbard Model on the square lattice when tackled within the Kotliar andRuckenstein slave boson representation in the thermodynamical limit. Particular emphasis is put on the dependence of the quasiparticle dispersions, the gaps, the spin-resolved renormalization factors, and the distribution of double occupancy on the microscopical parameters of the model. Our ca...

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...

Phase transitions in the Hubbard model and ionic Hubbard model at half-filling on the honeycomb lattice are investigated in the strong coupling perturbation theory which corresponds to an expansion in powers of the hopping $t$ around the atomic limit. Within this formulation we find analytic expressions for the single-particle spectrum, whereby the calculation of the insulating gap is reduced to a simple root finding problem. This enables high precision determination of the i...
