Equation of motion approach to the Hubbard model in infinite dimensions
We consider the Hubbard model on the infinite-dimensional Bethe lattice and
construct a systematic series of self-consistent approximations to the
one-particle Green's function, . The first
equations of motion are exactly fullfilled by and the
'th equation of motion is decoupled following a simple set of decoupling

Cluster persistence in one-dimensional diffusion--limited cluster--cluster aggregation
The persistence probability, , of a cluster to remain unaggregated is
studied in cluster-cluster aggregation, when the diffusion coefficient of a
cluster depends on its size as . In the mean-field the
problem maps to the survival of three annihilating random walkers with
time-dependent noise correlations. For the motion of persistent
clusters becomes asymptotically irrelevant and the mean-field theory provides a
correct description. For the spatial fluctuations remain relevant
and the persistence probability is overestimated by the random walk theory. The
decay of persistence determines the small size tail of the cluster size
distribution. For the distribution is flat and, surprisingly,
independent of .Comment: 11 pages, 6 figures, RevTeX4, submitted to Phys. Rev.
Charge-density-wave order parameter of the Falicov-Kimball model in infinite dimensions
In the large-U limit, the Falicov-Kimball model maps onto an effective Ising
model, with an order parameter described by a BCS-like mean-field theory in
infinite dimensions. In the small-U limit, van Dongen and Vollhardt showed that
the order parameter assumes a strange non-BCS-like shape with a sharp reduction
near T approx T_c/2. Here we numerically investigate the crossover between
these two regimes and qualitatively determine the order parameter for a variety
of different values of U. We find the overall behavior of the order parameter
as a function of temperature to be quite anomalous.Comment: (5 pages, 3 figures, typeset with ReVTeX4
Many Body Correlation Corrections to Superconducting Pairing in Two Dimensions.
We demonstrate that in the strong coupling limit (the superconducting gap
is as large as the chemical potential ), which is relevant to the
high- superconductivity, the correlation corrections to the gap and
critical temperature are about 10\% of the corresponding mean field
approximation values. For the weak coupling () the correlation
corrections are very large: of the order of 100\% of the corresponding mean
field values.Comment: LaTeX 12 page
Symmetry breaking in the Hubbard model at weak coupling
The phase diagram of the Hubbard model is studied at weak coupling in two and
three spatial dimensions. It is shown that the Neel temperature and the order
parameter in d=3 are smaller than the Hartree-Fock predictions by a factor of
q=0.2599. For d=2 we show that the self-consistent (sc) perturbation series
bears no relevance to the behavior of the exact solution of the Hubbard model
in the symmetry-broken phase. We also investigate an anisotropic model and show
that the coupling between planes is essential for the validity of
mean-field-type order parameters
Influence of Hybridization on the Properties of the Spinless Falicov-Kimball Model
Without a hybridization between the localized f- and the conduction (c-)
electron states the spinless Falicov-Kimball model (FKM) is exactly solvable in
the limit of high spatial dimension, as first shown by Brandt and Mielsch. Here
I show that at least for sufficiently small c-f-interaction this exact
inhomogeneous ground state is also obtained in Hartree-Fock approximation. With
hybridization the model is no longer exactly solvable, but the approximation
yields that the inhomogeneous charge-density wave (CDW) ground state remains
stable also for finite hybridization V smaller than a critical hybridization
V_c, above which no inhomogeneous CDW solution but only a homogeneous solution
is obtained. The spinless FKM does not allow for a ''ferroelectric'' ground
state with a spontaneous polarization, i.e. there is no nonvanishing
-expectation value in the limit of vanishing hybridization.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figure
Magnetic properties of the three-dimensional Hubbard model at half filling
We study the magnetic properties of the 3d Hubbard model at half-filling in
the TPSC formalism, previously developed for the 2d model. We focus on the
N\'eel transition approached from the disordered side and on the paramagnetic
phase. We find a very good quantitative agreement with Dynamical Mean-Field
results for the isotropic 3d model. Calculations on finite size lattices also
provide satisfactory comparisons with Monte Carlo results up to the
intermediate coupling regime. We point out a qualitative difference between the
isotropic 3d case, and the 2d or anisotropic 3d cases for the double occupation
factor. Even for this local correlation function, 2d or anisotropic 3d cases
are out of reach of DMF: this comes from the inability of DMF to account for
antiferromagnetic fluctuations, which are crucial.Comment: RevTex, 9 pages +10 figure
Effects of Boson Dispersion in Fermion-Boson Coupled Systems
We study the nonlinear feedback in a fermion-boson system using an extension
of dynamical mean-field theory and the quantum Monte Carlo method. In the
perturbative regimes (weak-coupling and atomic limits) the effective
interaction among fermions increases as the width of the boson dispersion
increases. In the strong coupling regime away from the anti-adiabatic limit,
the effective interaction decreases as we increase the width of the boson
dispersion. This behavior is closely related with complete softening of the
boson field. We elucidate the parameters that control this nonperturbative
region where fluctuations of the dispersive bosons enhance the delocalization
of fermions.Comment: 14 pages RevTeX including 12 PS figure
Magnetic and Dynamic Properties of the Hubbard Model in Infinite Dimensions
An essentially exact solution of the infinite dimensional Hubbard model is
made possible by using a self-consistent mapping of the Hubbard model in this
limit to an effective single impurity Anderson model. Solving the latter with
quantum Monte Carlo procedures enables us to obtain exact results for the one
and two-particle properties of the infinite dimensional Hubbard model. In
particular we find antiferromagnetism and a pseudogap in the single-particle
density of states for sufficiently large values of the intrasite Coulomb
interaction at half filling. Both the antiferromagnetic phase and the
insulating phase above the N\'eel temperature are found to be quickly
suppressed on doping. The latter is replaced by a heavy electron metal with a
quasiparticle mass strongly dependent on doping as soon as . At half
filling the antiferromagnetic phase boundary agrees surprisingly well in shape
and order of magnitude with results for the three dimensional Hubbard model.Comment: 32 page
Asymptotics of self-similar solutions to coagulation equations with product kernel
