Process-chain approach to the Bose-Hubbard model — •Niklas Teichmann, Dennis Hinrichs, and Martin Holthaus — Institut für Physik, Carl von Ossietzky Universität, D-26111 Oldenburg, Germany

We carry out a perturbative analysis, of high order in the tunneling parameter, of the ground state of the homogeneous Bose-Hubbard model in the Mott insulator state[1]. This is done within a diagrammatic process-chain approach, derived from Kato’s representation of the many-body perturbation series, which can be implemented numerically in a straightforward manner. We compute ground-state energies, atom-atom correlation functions, density-density correlations, and occupation number fluctuations, for one-, two-, and three-dimensional lattices with arbitrary integer filling. In addition, the process-chain approach is employed for calculating the boundary between the Mott insulator phase and the superfluid phase with very high accuracy. We find a surprising scaling relation, that maps critical hopping parameters for different filling factors onto each other [2].
