Exact solution of the non-crossing approximation for the strong coupling limit of the half-filled Hubbard model

Abstract

Abstract We present an analytic solution of the self consistent random phase approximation equations for the half-filled Hubbard model, in the strong coupling limit. In the half-filled limit the Hubbard model shows antiferromagnetic ordering. The self energy is calculated by considering processes whereby the electrons emit and absorb low frequency spin waves, which are the Goldstone modes of the broken symmetry phase. We examine the electronic spectrum, which is dominated by the broad incoherent portions of the spectrum associated with the upper and lower Hubbard bands. The quasi-particle spectrum has a divergent wave function renormalization, indicating a divergent renormalization of the quasi-particle mass and zero quasi-particle weight, as in a non-Fermi liquid. The self consistency equation determined from the Goldstone modes in the susceptibility shows that the antiferromagnetism is prohibited in one and two dimensions but not in three. The magnetic ordering temperature is determined by dimensionalit...
