EXACT DIAGONALIZATION APPROACH TO CORRELATED FERMIONS IN INFINITE DIMENSIONS - MOTT TRANSITION AND SUPERCONDUCTIVITY

We present a powerful method for calculating the thermodynamic properties of infinite-dimensional Hubbard-type models using an exact diagonalization of an Anderson model with a finite number of sites. The resolution obtained for Green's functions is far superior to that of quantum Monte Caxlo calculations. We apply the method to the half-filled Hubbard model for a discussion of the metal-insulator transition, and to the two-band Hubbard model where we find direct evidence for the existence of a superconducting instability at low temperatures.
