Boundary S matrices for the open Hubbard chain with boundary fields

Using the method introduced by Grisaru et al., boundary S matrices for the physical excitations of the open Hubbard chain with boundary fields are studied. In contrast to the open supersymmetric t-J model, the boundary S matrix for the charge excitations depend on the boundary fields though the boundary fields do not break the spin-SU(2) symmetry.Comment: Latex,12 page

SU(2)xSU(2) Invariant Scattering Matrix of the Hubbard Model

We consider the one-dimensional half-filled Hubbard model. We show that the excitation spectrum is given by the scattering states of four elementary excitations, which form the fundamental representation of $SU(2)\times SU(2)$. We determine the exact two-particle Scattering matrix, which a solution of the Yang-Baxter equation and reflects the $SO(4)$ symmetry of the model. The results for repulsive and attractive Hubbard model are related by an interchange of spin and charge degrees of freedom.Comment: 29 pages, jyTeX (macro included - just TeX the file) ITP-SB-93-45, BONN-HE-93-3

Scattering Matrix and Excitation Spectrum of the Hubbard Model

We consider the one-dimensional Hubbard model at half filling. We show that both excitation spectrum and S-matrix are determined by the SO(4) symmetry of the model. The complete set of excitations is given by the scattering states four elementary excitations, which form the fundamental representation of SO(4). We evaluate the exact S-matrix, which satisfies the Yang-Baxter relation. The results for the repulsive and attractive Hubbard model are related by an interchange of spin and charge degrees of freedom.Comment: 8 pages, jyTeX (macro included - just TeX the file) ITP-SB-93-4

Dynamical density correlation function of 1D Mott insulators in a magnetic field

We consider the one dimensional (1D) extended Hubbard model at half filling in the presence of a magnetic field. Using field theory techniques we calculate the dynamical density-density correlation function $\chi_{nn}(\omega,q)$ in the low-energy limit. When excitons are formed, a singularity appears in $\chi_{nn}(\omega,q)$ at a particular energy and momentum transfer.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure

GAPS IN THE HEISENBERG-ISING MODEL

We report on the closing of gaps in the ground state of the critical Heisenberg-Ising chain at momentum $\pi$. For half-filling, the gap closes at special values of the anisotropy $\Delta= \cos(\pi/Q)$, $Q$ integer. We explain this behavior with the help of the Bethe Ansatz and show that the gap scales as a power of the system size with variable exponent depending on $\Delta$. We use a finite-size analysis to calculate this exponent in the critical region, supplemented by perturbation theory at $\Delta\sim 0$. For rational $1/r$ fillings, the gap is shown to be closed for {\em all} values of $\Delta$ and the corresponding perturbation expansion in $\Delta$ shows a remarkable cancellation of various diagrams.Comment: 12 RevTeX pages + 4 figures upon reques

Asymptotics and functional form of correlators in the XX - spin chain of finite length

We verify the functional form of the asymptotics of the spin - spin equal - time correlation function for the XX-chain, predicted by the hypothesis of conformal invariance at large distances and by the bosonization procedure. We point out that bosonization also predicts the functional form of the correlators for the chains of finite length. We found the exact expression for the spin- spin equal- time correlator on finite lattice. We find the excellent agreement of the exact correlator with the prediction given by the leading asymptotics result up to the very small distances. We also establish the correspondence between the value of the constant before the asymptotics for the XX- chain with the expression for this constant proposed by Lukyanov and Zamolodchikov. We also evaluate the constant corresponding to the subleading term in the asymptotics in a way which is different from the previous studies.Comment: LaTex, 12 page

Formfactors and functional form of correlators in the XX spin chain

We present the new expressions for the formfactors of local operators for the XX - quantum spin chain as a Cauchy determinants. Using the known functional form of the correlator at large distances we propose the new expression for the constant for the asymptotics of the correlator as a Cauchy determinant. We calculate the momentum distribution for the general case of the XXZ spin chain and point out that it is completely different from the Luttinger model (the system of fermions). For the XX chain we compare numerically the value of the lowest formfactor and the expectation value of momentum- zero operators which is determined by the functional form of the correlator.Comment: LaTex, 18 page

On the lowest energy excitations of one-dimensional strongly correlated electrons

It is proven that the lowest excitations $E_{low}(k)$ of one-dimensional half-integer spin generalized Heisenberg models and half-filled extended Hubbard models are $\pi$-periodic functions. For Hubbard models at fractional fillings $E_{low}{(k+ 2 k_f)} = E_{low}(k)$, where $2 k_f= \pi n$, and $n$ is the number of electrons per unit cell. Moreover, if one of the ground states of the system is magnetic in the thermodynamic limit, then $E_{low}(k) = 0$ for any $k$, so the spectrum is gapless at any wave vector. The last statement is true for any integer or half-integer value of the spin.Comment: 6 Pages, Revtex, final versio

Unusual low-temperature thermopower in the one-dimensional Hubbard model

The low-temperature thermoelectric power of the repulsive-interaction one-dimensional Hubbard model is calculated using an asymptotic Bethe ansatz for holons and spinons. The competition between the entropy carried by the holons and that carried by the backflow of the spinons gives rise to an unusual temperature and doping dependence of the thermopower which is qualitatively similar to that observed in the normal state of high-$T_{c}$ superconductors.Comment: 11 pages, REVTEX 3.

Completeness of the SO(4) Extended Bethe Ansatz for the One-Dimensional Hubbard Model

We show how to construct a complete set of eigenstates of the hamiltonian of the one-dimensional Hubbard model on a lattice of even length $L$. This is done by using the nested Bethe Ansatz {\it and} the $SO(4)$ symmetry of the model. We discuss in detail how the counting of independent eigenstates is carried out.Comment: 33 pages, using latex, to appear in Nucl.Phys. B (FS
