Abstract

Using quantum field theory and bosonization, we determine the quantum phase diagram of the one-dimensional Hubbard model with bond-charge interaction in addition to the usual Coulomb repulsion at half-filling, for small values of the interactions. We show that it is essential to take into account formally irrelevant terms of order . They generate relevant terms proportional to in the flow of the renormalization group (RG). These terms are calculated using operator product expansions. The model shows three phases separated by a charge transition at and a spin transition at . For singlet superconducting correlations dominate, while for , the system is in the spin-density wave phase as in the usual Hubbard model. For intermediate values , the system is in a spontaneously dimerized bond-ordered wave phase, which is absent in the ordinary Hubbard model with . We obtain that the charge transition remains at for . Solving the RG equations for the spin sector, we provide an analytical expression for . The results, with only one adjustable parameter, are in excellent agreement with numerical ones for where is the hopping.
