Spectral weight function for the half-filled Hubbard model: a singular value decomposition approach

Abstract

The singular value decomposition technique is used to reconstruct the electronic spectral weight function for a half-filled Hubbard model with on-site repulsion $U=4t$ from Quantum Monte Carlo data. A two-band structure for the single-particle excitation spectrum is found to persist as the lattice size exceeds the spin-spin correlation length. The observed bands are flat in the vicinity of the $(0,\pi ),(\pi ,0)$ points in the Brillouin zone, in accordance with experimental data for high-temperature superconducting compounds.
