Polaronic Quasiparticles in the Holstein-Hubbard Model

Do pure polaronic excitations exist in the Holstein-Hubbard model? Polarons have been studied almost exclusively for

  • ne or two electrons in models without spin, such as the
  • riginal Holstein model. In these models there is no effective

local interaction inducing bipolaron formation, and no com- plications phase space restrictions due to the other electrons. Conditions favouring polaronic excitations:

  • Large U to inhibit local bipolaron formation
  • Away from half-filling where spin fluctuations dominate.

We take U = 6 and look near quarter filling, and increase the electron-phonon coupling g

Gd(ω) = 1 ω − ǫd − V 2g0(ω) + Σ(ω) where g0(ω) = −iπρ0 for a wide conduction band, so Gd(ω) = 1 ω − ǫd + i∆ + Σ(ω) where ∆ = iV 2g0(ω) = πρ0V 2. We expand Σ(ω) = Σ(0) + ωΣ′(0) + .... Gd(ω) = z ω − ˜ ǫd + i ˜ ∆ where ˜ ǫd= z(ǫd + Σ(0)) ˜ ∆= z∆ and z = 1/(1 − Σ′(0)). Rescale the fields so that ˜ Gd(ω) = 1 ω − ˜ ǫd + i ˜ ∆ so this is the quasiparticle Green’s function corresponding to a renormalized non-interacting Anderson model.

1 ω − ǫd − V 2g0(ω) ie, solutions of ω − ǫd − V 2g0(ω) = 0 In the inverse case, given the solutions ǫn, we can use this equation to deduce the parameters ǫd and V . We can apply this to the NRG results. If Ep(N), Eh(N) are the lowest energy single particle ex- citations of the interacting Anderson model, then from the equation ωΛ−(N−1)/2 − ˜ ǫd(N) = Λ(N−1)/2 ˜ V (N)2g0(ω), we can deduce the effective parameters, ˜ ǫd(N) and ˜ ∆(N) = π ˜ V (N)2/D. If these can be described by a non-interacting Anderson model, then they should be independent of N.

Quasiparticle Interactions

We can also define a local renormalized interaction ˜ U If Epp(N) is the energy of a two-quasiparticle excitation, we can define an N-dependent renormalized interaction ˜ Upp(N) via, Epp(N) − 2Ep(N) = ˜ U(N)Λ(N−1)/2|ψ∗

where |ψp,1(−1)|2 is given by |ψp,1|2 = 1 1 − ˜ V 2(N)Λ(N−1)g′0(Ep(N)), Similar equations for ˜ Uhh(N) and ˜ Uph(N) We find a unique limit, lim

Renormalized Perturbation Theory for the Anderson Model

No divergences associated with lack of cut-off in this case. Gd(ω) = 1 ω − ǫd + i∆ + Σ(ω) We eliminate Σ(0) and Σ′(0) explicitly, Σ(ω) = Σ(0) + ωΣ′(0) + Σrem(ω) Gd(ω) = z ω − ˜ ǫd + i ˜ ∆ + ˜ Σ(ω) where ˜ ǫd = z(ǫd + Σ(0)) ˜ ∆ = z∆ ˜ Σ(ω) = zΣrem(ω) and z = 1/(1 − Σ′(0)). Rescale the fields so that ˜ Gd(ω) = 1 ω − ˜ ǫd + i ˜ ∆ + ˜ Σ(ω) U is replaced by the renormalized one, ˜ U = z2Γ↑,↓(0, 0, 0, 0) We have used the Luttinger result ImΣ′(0) = 0.

Renormalized Perturbation Theory

L(ǫd, ∆, U) = L(˜ ǫd, ˜ ∆, ˜ U) + Lcounter(λ1, λ2, λ3) The expansion is carried out in powers of ˜ U, with λ1, λ2, λ3 determined by the renormalization conditions: (i) ˜ Σ(0) = 0 (ii) ˜ Σ′(0) = 0 (iii) ˜ Γ↑,↓(0, 0, 0, 0) = ˜ U Renormalizability is not an issue because we have no ultra- violet divergences due to a lack of an upper cut-off. Note that the renormalized form of L is the same as that

  • f the original so the corresponding Hamiltonian is simply a

renormalized version of the Anderson model. i.e. ǫd → ˜ ǫd, ∆ → ˜ ∆ and U → ˜ U.
