Two-Dimensional Hubbard Modelat Low Electron Density

Abstract

The two dimensional Hubbard model with repulsive interaction is studied in the t -matrix approximation, which is the valid approximation in low electron density. The particle-particle correlation function and the t -matrix are obtained analytically. By use of these analytical results it is shown that the t -matrix and hence the self-energy have no singularities in the upper half plane of the complex energy variable. The phase angle δ(2 k F + q , ω), with k F being the Fermi wave vector, in the limit of q =0 and ω=0 is found to depend strongly on the ratio ω/ q and is not always zero. The case of the attractive interaction is also briefly studied.
