Quantum fluctuations on the Gutzwiller approximation of the Hubbard model

Journal Article · · Int. J. Mod. Phys. B; (United States)
Many experimental results seem to relate the superconducting oxides to the phenomenon of Mott localization in strongly correlated systems. The authors give a brief review of the different theories developed until then to treat the Mott localization in the Hubbard model: variational Ansatz of Gutzwiller of RVB Ansatz, leading to fundamentally different ground states. In this context, the authors propose a new approach which consists to take account of the quantum fluctuations around the mean-field solution provided by the Gutzwiller approximation. They show how to understand the ground state in terms of a resonance (split by the Mott gap in the almost-localized regime) in complete analogy with the Abrikosov-Suhl resonance of the Kondo problem - heavy fermions. Superconductivity appears as induced by the constrained intersite correlations developed by quantum fluctuations around this resonant state.
