Title: Quantum Monte Carlo simulations of the one-dimensional extended Hubbard model

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5578810

We report preliminary results of an investigation of the thermodynamic properties of the extended Hubbard model in one- dimension, calculated with the world-line Monte Carlo method described by Hirsch et al. With strictly continuous world-lines, we are able to measure the expectation of operators that conserve fermion number locally, such as the energy and (spatial) occupation number. By permitting the world-lines to be broken'' stochastically, we may also measure the expectation of operators that conserve fermion number only globally, such as the single-particle Green's function. For a 32 site lattice we present preliminary calculations of the average electron occupancy as a function of wavenumber when U = 4, V = 0 and {beta} = 16. For a half-filled band we find no indications of a Fermi surface. Slightly away from half-filling, we find Fermi-surface-like behavior similar to that found in other numerical investigations. 8 refs., 3 figs.
