Abstract

The Iterated Perturbation Theory (IPT) equations of the Dynamical Mean Field Theory (DMFT) for the half-filled Hubbard model, are solved on nearly real frequencies at various values of the Hubbard parameters UU, to investigate the nature of metal-insulator transition (MIT) at finite temperatures. This method avoids the instabilities associated with the infamous Pad\'e analytic continuation and reveals fine structures across the MIT at finite temperatures, which {\em can not be captured} by conventional methods for solving DMFT equations on Matsubara frequencies. Our method suggests that at finite temperatures, there is an abrupt decrease in the height of the quasi-particle (Kondo) peak at a critical value of UcU_c, to a non-zero but small bump which gradually suppresses as one moves deeper into the {\em bad} insulator regime. In contrast to Vollhardt and coworkers [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. {\bf 74} (2005) 136], down to T=0.01T=0.01 of the half-bandwidth we find no TT^* separating bad insulator from a true Mott insulator.
