Energetics of 2D and 3D Repulsive Hubbard Model from Their 1D Counterpart using Dimensional Scaling for an Arbitrary Band Filling

Abstract

A dimensional scaling computation of the electron concentration-dependent ground-state energy for the repulsive Hubbard model is presented, a generalization of Capelle’s analysis of the 2D and 3D Hubbard Hamiltonians with half-filled bands. The computed ground-state energies are compared with the results of mean-field and density-matrix functional theories and of quantum Monte Carlo calculations. The comparison indicates that dimensional scaling yields moderately accurate ground-state energies close to and at half filling over the wide range of interaction strengths in the study. By contrast, the accuracy becomes poor at low filling for strong interactions.
