Classical relativistic systems of charged particles in the front form of dynamics and the Liouville equation

Classical relativistic system of point particles coupled with an electromagnetic field is considered in the three-dimensional representation. The gauge freedom connected with the chronometrical invariance of the four-dimensional description is reduced by use of the geometrical concept of the forms of relativistic dynamics. The remainder gauge degrees of freedom of the electromagnetic potential are analysed within the framework of Dirac's constrained Hamiltonian mechanics in the front form of dynamics. The results are implemented to the problems of relativistic statistical mechanics. Based on the corresponding Liouville equation the classical partition function of the system is written down in a gauge-invariant manner and an integration over field variables is performed.

One particle spectral weight of the three dimensional single band Hubbard model

Dynamic properties of the three-dimensional single-band Hubbard model are studied using Quantum Monte Carlo combined with the maximum entropy technique. At half-filling, there is a clear gap in the density of states and well-defined quasiparticle peaks at the top (bottom) of the lower (upper) Hubbard band. We find an antiferromagnetically induced weight above the naive Fermi momentum. Upon hole doping, the chemical potential moves to the top of the lower band where a robust peak is observed. Results are compared with spin-density-wave (SDW) mean-field and self consistent Born approximation results, and also with the infinite dimensional Hubbard model, and experimental photoemission (PES) for three dimensional transition-metal oxides.

Superconductivity in the Cuprates as a Consequence of Antiferromagnetism and a Large Hole Density of States

We briefly review a theory for the cuprates that has been recently proposed based on the movement and interaction of holes in antiferromagnetic (AF) backgrounds. A robust peak in the hole density of states (DOS) is crucial to produce a large critical temperature once a source of hole attraction is identified. The predictions of this scenario are compared with experiments. The stability of the calculations after modifying some of the original assumptions is addressed. We find that if the dispersion is changed from an antiferromagnetic band at half-filling to a tight binding $cosk_x + cosk_y$ narrow band at $ =0.87$, the main conclusions of the approach remain basically the same i.e. superconductivity appears in the $d_{x^2 - y^2}$-channel and $T_c$ is enhanced by a large DOS. The main features distinguishing these ideas from more standard theories based on antiferromagnetic correlations are here discussed.

Study of ARPES data and d-wave superconductivity using electronic models in two dimensions

We review the results of an extensive investigation of photoemission spectral weight using electronic models for the high-Tc superconductors. Here we show that some recently reported unusual features of the cuprates namely the presence of (i) flat bands, (ii) small quasiparticle bandwidths, and (iii) antiferromagnetically induced weight, have all a natural explanation within the context of holes moving in the presence of robust antiferromagnetic correlations. Introducing interactions among the hole carriers, a model is constructed which has ${\rm d_{x^2 - y^2}}$ superconductivity, an optimal doping of $\sim 15\%$ (caused by the presence of a large density of states at the top of the valence band), and a critical temperature $\sim 100K$.

Photoemission spectra of ${\rm Sr_2 Cu O_2 Cl_2}$: a theoretical analysis

Recent angle resolved photoemission (ARPES) results for the insulating cuprate ${\rm Sr_2 Cu O_2 Cl_2}$ have provided the first experimental data which can be directly compared to the (theoretically) well--studied problem of a single hole propagating in an antiferromagnet. The ARPES results reported a small bandwidth, providing evidence for the existence of strong correlations in the cuprates. However, in the same experiment some discrepancies with the familiar 2D ${\rm t-J}$ model were also observed. Here we discuss a comparison between the ARPES results and the quasiparticle dispersion of both (i) the ${\rm t-t'-J}$ Hamiltonian and (ii) the three--band Hubbard model in the strong--coupling limit. Both model Hamiltonians show that the experimentally observed one--hole band structure can be approximately reproduced using reasonable values for ${\rm t'}$, or the direct oxygen hopping amplitude ${\rm t_{pp}}$.

Superconductivity Near Phase Separation in Models of Correlated Electrons

Numerical and analytical studies of several models of correlated electrons are discussed. Based on exact diagonalization and variational Monte Carlo techniques, we have found strong indications that the two dimensional t-J model superconducts near phase separation in the regime of quarter-filling density, in agreement with previous results reported by Dagotto and Riera (Phys. Rev. Letters 70, 682 (1993)). At this density the dominant channel is d_{x^2-y^2}, but a novel transition to s-wave superconductivity is observed decreasing the electronic density. In addition, the one band t-U-V model has also been studied using the mean-field approximation that accurately described the spin density wave phase of the repulsive Hubbard model at half-filling. Finally, the two band Hubbard model on a chain is also analyzed. Superconducting correlations near phase separation exist in this model, as it occurs in the t-J model. Based on these nontrivial examples it is $conjectured$ that electronic models tend to have superconducting phases in the vicinity of phase separation.Reciprocally, if it is established that a model that does not phase separate, then its chances of presenting a superconducting phase are considerably reduced.
