Abstract

We show that the Hubbard model with infinite-range Coulomb coupling is equivalent to an ideal gas of three species of particles obeying fractional exclusion statistics. A full appreciation of this mapping requires an extension of the pertinent formalism. This very simple, but rather peculiar model is exactly solvable in any dimension and exhibits a Mott metal-insulator transition, whose universality class is shown to be that of a free spinless Fermi gas. A modified version of the Luttinger theorem is shown to apply in any dimension. We also characterize the metallic and insulating phases by obtaining the electronic band structure as well as the interacting density of states. The fractional statistics manifests itself on the amplitudes of several thermodynamic quantities and, in particular, the Pauli spin susceptibility is subdominant in all metallic phases, and a Curie-type of response appears.
