Exact Self-Consistent Effective Hamiltonian Theory
Abstract
We propose a general variational fermionic many-body wavefunction that generates an effective Hamiltonian in a quadratic form, which can then be exactly solved. The theory can be constructed within the density functional theory framework, and a self-consistent scheme is proposed for solving the exact density functional theory. We apply the theory to structurally-disordered systems, symmetric and asymmetric Hubbard dimers, and the corresponding lattice models. The single fermion excitation spectra show a persistent gap due to the fermionic-entanglement-induced pairing condensate. For disordered systems, the density of states at the edge of the gap diverges in the thermodynamic limit, suggesting a topologically ordered phase. A sharp resonance is predicted as the gap is not dependent on the temperature of the system. For the symmetric Hubbard model, the gap for both half-filling and doped case suggests that the quantum phase transition between the antiferromagnetic and superconducting phases is continuous.
