Mott-Hubbard transition in infinite dimensions — •F. Gebhard¹ and R.M. Noack² — ¹FB Physik, Philipps-Universität Marburg, 35032 Marburg — ²Institut de Physique Théorique, Université Fribourg, CH-1700 Fribourg, Switzerland

Using the Random Dispersion Approximation [1] we calculate the zero-temperature quasiparticle weight and single-particle gap as a function of interaction strength, U, for the infinite-dimensional Hubbard model with a semi-elliptical density of states. We find that the quasiparticle weight goes to zero at the same critical value, U_c, at which the gap opens continuously. This picture of a continuous transition at a U_c of approximately the bandwidth is in disagreement with a previously proposed scenario of a discontinuous transition in which the gap jumps to a finite value at U_c,2 > U_c [2]. We quantitatively compare our results with those of a number of other methods in order to try to understand the origin of the disagreement.
