Abstract
The one-dimensional unconventional Hubbard model with alternating on-site interaction at odd (Uo) and even (Ue) lattice sites is analytically studied in the weak-coupling regime. The existence of unequal on-site repulsion (Uo≠Ue) makes a dramatic impact on the charge excitation behavior in one dimension. At quarter filling, the alternating Hubbard interaction leads to the occurrence of umklapp processes and to the generation of a charge gap. As usual, the low-energy spin excitation is still massless. The ground state shows insulating behavior, characterized by the coexisting spin-density-wave and charge-density-wave instabilities.
