We theoretically analyze some of the anomalies of the optical sumrules in the high-temperature superconductors. In particular we address the particularly strong dependence on temperature of the sumrule in the normal state. Both…
Much attention has been given to a possible violation of the optical sum rule in the cuprates, and the connection this might have to kinetic energy lowering. The optical integral is composed of a cut-off independent term (whose temperature…
The purpose of this work is to investigate the role of the lattice in the optical Kubo sum rule in the cuprates. We compute conductivities, optical integrals W, and \Delta W between superconducting and normal states for 2-D systems with…
A single band optical sum rule derived by Kubo can reveal a novel kind of superconducting state. It relies, however, on a knowledge of the single band contribution from zero to infinite frequency. A number of experiments over the past five…
Using a simple model for the frequency dependent scattering rate, we evaluate the in-plane optical integral for cuprate superconductors in the normal and superconducting states. In the overdoped region, this integral is conserved. In the…
The interrelation between the condensation energy and the optical sum rules has been investigated. It has been shown that the so called 'partial' sum rule violation is related mainly to a temperature dependence of the relaxation rate rather…
We investigate sum-rules applying to the Raman intensity in a strongly correlated system close to the Mott transition. Quite generally, it can be shown that, provided the frequency integration is performed up to a cutoff smaller than the…
We derive the restricted optical-conductivity sum rule for a model with circulating orbital currents. It is shown that an unusual coupling of the vector potential to the interaction term of the model Hamiltonian results in a non-standard…
The restricted optical sum rule and its dependence on the temperature, a superconducting gap and the cutoff energy have been investigated. As known this sum rule depends on the cutoff energy and the relaxation rate even for a homogeneous…
We use a recently proposed model of the interplane conductivity of high temperature superconductors to investigate the `scattering rate sum-rule' introduced by Basov and co-workers. We present a new derivation of the sum-rule. The quantal…
We provide a brief summary of the observed sum rule anomalies in the high-T$_c$ cuprate materials. A recent issue has been the impact of a non-infinite frequency cutoff in the experiment. In the normal state, the observed anomalously high…
In a single finite electronic band the total optical spectral weight or optical sum carries information on the interactions involved between the charge carriers as well as on their band structure. It varies with temperature as well as with…
The f-sum rule is introduced and its applications to electronic and vibrational modes are discussed. A related integral over the intra-band part of sigma(omega) which is also valid for correlated electrons, becomes just the kinetic energy…
For a system with a fixed number of electrons, the total optical sum is a constant, independent of many-body interactions, of impurity scattering and of temperature. For a single band in a metal, such a sum rule is no longer independent of…
We present a linear-response formalism for a system of correlated electrons out of equilibrium, as relevant for the probe optical absorption in pump-probe experiments. We consider the time dependent optical conductivity $\sigma(\omega,t)$…
We study the transfer of spectral weight in the photoemission and optical spectra of strongly correlated electron systems. Within the LISA, that becomes exact in the limit of large lattice coordination, we consider and compare two models of…
We examine the temperature dependence of the optical sum rule in the normal state due to interactions. To be concrete we adopt a weak coupling approach which uses an electron-boson exchange model to describe inelastic scattering of the…
The model of hole superconductivity predicts that the superfluid weight in the zero-frequency $\delta$-function in the optical conductivity has an anomalous contribution from high frequencies, due to lowering of the system's kinetic energy…
A class of sum rules for inelastic light scattering is developed. We show that the first moment of the non-resonant response provides information about the potential energy in strongly correlated systems. The polarization dependence of the…
