On-site-interaction-induced Peak-dip-hump Characteristics with the Mean Field Theory + Perturbation Approach

Abstract: For decades, the difficulty of tackling a strong coupling model with a perturbative approach remained regardless of numerous inquiries. In the current work, a typical mean field theory procedure transforms a strong coupling Hamiltonian into a weak one, which can be solved within a perturbative approach. The Hamiltonian of 2-dimensional free electron gas with Hubbard on-site interaction is calculated as a test of the new procedure. Consequently, the spectral characteristics of the cuprates peak-dip-hump are reproduced. The result is compared with the past theoretical investigations, e.g., quantum Monte Carlo method, density matrix renormalization group, tensor network methods, etc., which agree well with the spectral curve.
