CORRELATION FUNCTIONS IN ONE-DIMENSIONAL LARGE-U HUBBARD MODEL: ZERO-FIELD AND FINITE-FIELD CASES

Abstract

A recent study of the large-U limit of the one-dimensional (1D) Hubbard model is presented and discussed. It is pointed out first that the wave function has a simple structure in this limit. Namely, it is a product of Slater determinant of noninteracting spinless fermions and the wave function of 1D S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet. Secondly, by using this property, a direct calculation of momentum distribution and spin correlation function is carried out for the ground state at zero-field and finite-field cases. The results show various singularities exactly at the same position where one expects for the small-U case in both zero-field and finite-field cases. The critical exponents estimated from the size dependence are in reasonable agreement with those predicted by the Tomonaga-Luttinger-liquid and the conformal field theory.
