METAL-INSULATOR-TRANSITION IN 1D HUBBARD-MODEL

For the one-dimensional Hubbard model we extended the bosonization technique, away from half filling, in such a way that a general formula is obtained for the zero temperature single-particle Green function with validity over the whole doping range. Our method allows us to calculate, for the first time, the one-body Green function in both Tomonaga-Luttinger and Luther-Emery universality classes, to characterize the crossover between these two behaviors and thus, to describe the metal-insulator transition. We have found that the transition can be characterized as a Brinkman-Rice transition with a diverging effective mass.
