An asymptotically exact mean-field approach for Hubbard X-operators

Abstract

The authors consider a systematic projection method for terminating the Green function equations of motion for Hubbard X-operators. This gives a set of mean fields that depend on the operators chosen. When applied to lowest order in the N-fold-degenerate U to infinity Anderson model an expression for the one-electron Green function is obtained that is exact for N=1 and in the limit N to infinity . This approach avoids the necessity of introducing auxiliary fields, such as constraint fields or slave bosons, to obtain asymptotically exact mean fields in the large-N limit and has general applicability in similar strongly correlated problems.
