New Functional Integral Approach to Strongly Correlated Fermi Systems: The Gutzwiller Approximation as a Saddle Point

Kotliar, Gabriel, Ruckenstein, Andrei E.·1986·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

We propose a new functional integral representation of the Hubbarda and Anderson models of lattice fermions. The simplest saddle-point approximation leads, at zero temperature, to the results derived from the Gutzwiller variational wave function. This approach uncovers the limitations of the Gutzwiller approximation and clarifies its connection to the "auxiliary-boson" mean-field theory of the Anderson model. This formulation leads to a novel strong-coupling mean-field theory which allows for a unified treatment of antiferromagnetism and ferromagnetism, metal-to-insulator transition, and Kondo compensation effects.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
