Study of the Hubbard model at half filling

Under the conditions of a strong Coulomb repulsion between electrons at a lattice site, we now study the equations for the self-energy part of the electron Green's function, which we previously obtained using the generating functional method. These equations have a form close to that corresponding to the self-consistent Born approximation in the weak-coupling theory. In these equations, we omit the dependence of the self-energy on the momentum, which corresponds to the infinite-dimensional space limit. We then numerically solve the integral equations, where all the variables depend only on the frequency, and obtain results consistent with the dynamical mean field theory. In particular, we show that as the Coulomb repulsion increases, the three-peak structure of the quasiparticle spectrum changes into a two-peak structure and the metal–insulator phase transition occurs. The proposed method can be used to study other models of the theory of strongly correlated systems.
