Projective-truncation-approximation study of the one-dimensional ${\varphi }^4$ lattice model

Abstract

In this paper, we first develop the projective truncation approximation (PTA) in the Green's function equation of motion (EOM) formalism for classical statistical models. To implement PTA for a given Hamiltonian, we choose a set of basis variables and projectively truncate the hierarchical EOM. We apply PTA to the one-dimensional ${\varphi }^4$ lattice model. Phonon dispersion and static correlation functions are studied in detail. Using one- and two-dimensional bases, we obtain results identical to and beyond the quadratic variational approximation, respectively. In particular, we analyze the power-law temperature dependence of the static averages in the low- and high-temperature limits, and we give exact exponents.
