Cluster Dynamical Mean-Field Theory of the density-driven Mott transition in the one-dimensional Hubbard model

The one-dimensional Hubbard model is investigated by means of two different cluster schemes suited to introduce short-range spatial correlations beyond the single-site Dynamical Mean-Field Theory, namely the Cluster-Dynamical Mean-Field Theory and its periodized version. It is shown that both cluster schemes are able to describe with extreme accuracy the evolution of the density as a function of the chemical potential from the Mott insulator to the metallic state. Using exact diagonalization to solve the cluster impurity model, we discuss the role of the truncation of the Hilbert space of the bath, and propose an algorithm that gives higher weights to the low frequency hybridization matrix elements and improves the speed of the convergence of the algorithm.
