Mott metal-insulator transition in the Hubbard model Fusayoshi J. Ohkawa Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, Hokkaido University, Sapporo 060-0810, Japan∗ (Dated: February 1, 2008) The Hubbard model in the strong-coupling regime is mainly studied by Kondo-lattice theory or 1/d expansion theory, with d being the spatial dimensionality. In two dimensions and higher, the ground state within the Hilbert subspace with no order parameter is a normal Fermi liquid except for n = 1 and U/W = +∞, with n being the electron density per unit cell, U the on-site repulsion, and W the bandwidth; the cooperation between the Kondo effect, which favors a local singlet on each unit cell, and a resonating-valence-bond effect, which favors a local singlet on each 7 pair of nearest-neighbor unit cells, stabilizes the Fermi liquid, whose ground state is a singlet as a 0 whole, in the strong-coupling regime. In the whole Hilbert space with no restriction, the normal 0 Fermi liquid is unstable at least against a magnetic or superconducting state. This analysis confirms 2 an early Fermi-liquid theory of high-temperature superconductivity, F. J. Ohkawa, Jpn. J. Appl. l Phys. 26, L652 (1987). The ground state for n = 1 and U/W = +∞ is a Mott insulator. Actual u metal-insulator transitions cannot be explained within the Hubbard model. In order to explain J them,
