The one-dimensional Bose-Fermi-Hubbard model in the limit of fast fermions

Abstract

We discuss the ground-state phase diagram of the one-dimensional Bose-Fermi-Hubbard model (BFHM) in the limit of fast fermions based on an effective boson model. We give a detailed derivation of the effective model with long-range RKKY-type interactions, discuss its range of validity and provide a deeper insight into its implications. In particular we show that integrating out the fast fermion degrees of freedom in a naive way results in an ill-behaved effective Hamiltonian and a proper renormalization is required. Based on the effective Hamiltonian, the phase diagram in the thermodynamic limit is constructed by analytic means and is compared to numerical results obtained by density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) techniques for the full BFHM. The most prominent feature of the phase diagram, the existence of a phase separation between Mott insulator (MI) and charge density wave (CDW) is discussed in depth including boundary effects.
