Strong-coupling approach for strongly correlated electron systems

A perturbation theory scheme in terms of electron hopping, which is based on the Wick theorem for Hubbard operators, is developed. Diagrammatic series contain single-site vertices connected by hopping lines and it is shown that for each vertex the problem splits into the subspaces with ``vacuum states'' determined by the diagonal Hubbard operators and only excitations around these vacuum states are allowed. The rules to construct diagrams are proposed. In the limit of infinite spatial dimensions the total auxiliary single-site problem exactly splits into subspaces that allows to build an analytical thermodynamically consistent approach for a Hubbard model. Some analytical results are given for the simple approximations when the two-pole (alloy-analogy solution) and four-pole (Hartree-Fock approximation) structure for Green's function is obtained. Two poles describe contribution from the Fermi-liquid component, which is dominant for small electron and hole concentrations (``overdoped case'' of high-$T_c$'s), whereas other two describe contribution from the non-Fermi liquid and are dominant close to half-filling (``underdoped case'').Comment: 14 pages, revtex, feynmf, 5 EPS figures, two-column PRB style, published in PR
