Solution of the "sign problem" for the half filled Hubbard-Holstein model

Abstract

We show that, by an appropriate choice of auxiliary fields and exact integration of the phonon degrees of freedom, it is possible to define a 'sign-free' path integral for the so called Hubbard-Holstein model at half-filling. We use a statistical method, based on an accelerated and efficient Langevin dynamics, for evaluating all relevant correlation functions of the model. Preliminary calculations at $U/t=4$ and $U/t=1$, for ${\omega }_0/t=1$, indicate a quite extended region around $U\simeq \frac{g^2}{{\omega }_0}$ without either antiferromagnetic or charge-density-wave orders, separating two quantum critical points at zero temperature. The elimination of the sign problem in a model without explicit particle-hole symmetry may open new perspectives for strongly correlated models, even away from the purely attractive or particle-hole symmetric cases.
