Abstract

The Feynman path-integral formalism is used to calculate the thermodynamic properties of a one-dimensional (1D) spinless fermion model with nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor interaction. The mapping of this 1D quantum model on a two-dimensional classical model allows the use of a Monte Carlo method to calculate the properties of long chains. We present results for typical values of the interaction parameters, density, and temperature. We find that a finite bandwidth smears out the details of the classical ground-state configurations discussed by Hubbard. If the density $\ensuremath{\rho}\ensuremath{\ne}\frac{1}{2}$, we find that the static structure factor and the static susceptibility display a maximum at $2{k}_{F}$ only when the next-nearest-neighbor interaction is nonzero.
