Improved strong-coupling perturbation theory of the symmetric Anderson impurity model

Abstract

In a previous work [N. H. Tong, Phys. Rev. B 92 (2015) 165126], an equation-of-motion-based series expansion formalism was used to do the second-order strong-coupling expansion for the single-particle Green function of the Anderson impurity model (AIM). In this paper, we improve this theory in two aspects. We first use a more accurate scheme to self-consistently calculate the averages that appear in [Formula: see text]. In the resummation process, we use updated coefficients for the continued fraction (CF), guided by the formally exact CF from the Mori–Zwanzig theory. These changes lead to more accurate impurity spin responses to the magnetic bias of the bath. Combined with the dynamical mean-field theory, our theory gives improved description for the antiferromagnetism of Hubbard model at half-filling.
