Frustrated electron liquids in the Hubbard model

Abstract

The ground state of the Hubbard model is studied within the constrained Hilbert space where no order parameter exists. The self-energy of electrons is decomposed into the single-site and multisite self-energies. The calculation of the single-site self-energy is mapped to a problem of self-consistently determining and solving the Anderson model. When an electron reservoir is explicitly considered, it is proved that the single-site self-energy is that of a normal Fermi liquid even if the multisite self-energy is anomalous. Thus, the ground state is a normal Fermi liquid in the supreme single-site approximation (S^3A). In the strong-coupling regime, the Fermi liquid is stabilized by the Kondo effect in the S^3A and is further stabilized by the Fock-type term of the superexchange interaction or the resonating-valence-bond (RVB) mechanism beyond the S^3A. The stabilized Fermi liquid is frustrated as much as an RVB spin liquid in the Heisenberg model. It is a relevant unperturbed state that can be used to study a normal or anomalous Fermi liquid and an ordered state in the whole Hilbert space by Kondo lattice theory. Even if higher-order multisite terms than the Fock-type term are considered, the ground state cannot be a Mott insulator. It can be merely a gapless semiconductor even if the multisite self-energy is so anomalous that it is divergent at the chemical potential. A Mott insulator is only possible as a high temperature phase.
