Hidden Bose-Einstein Singularities in Correlated Electron Systems

Abstract

Hidden singularities in correlated electron systems, which are caused by pair fluctuations of electron-electron or electron-hole bubbles obeying Bose-Einstein statistics, are clarified theoretically. The correlation function of each pair fluctuation is shown to have a bound in the zero Matsubara frequency branch, similarly to the chemical potential of ideal Bose gases. Once the bound is reached, the self-energy starts to acquire a component proportional to Green's function itself, i.e., the structure called one-particle reducible, to keep the correlation function within the bound. The singularities are closely related to, but distinct from, phase transitions with broken symmetries. Passing down through them is necessarily accompanied by a change in the single-particle density of states around the excitation threshold, such as the pseudogap behavior found here for the negative-$U$ Hubbard model above the superconducting transition temperature.
