New Solutions of the T-Matrix Theory of the Attractive Hubbard Model

This short paper summarizes a calculational method for obtaining the dynamical properties of many-body theories formulated in terms of (unrenormalized) bare propagators (and more generally, in terms of meromorphic functions, or convolutions over meromorphic functions) to a very high accuracy. We demonstrate the method by applying it to a T-matrix theory of the attractive Hubbard model in two dimensions. We expand the pair propagator using a partial fraction decomposition, and then solve for the residues and pole locations of such a decomposition using a computer algebra system to an arbitrarily high accuracy (we used MapleV and obtained these quantities to a relative error of 10^(-80)). Thus, this method allows us to bypass all inaccuracies associated with the traditional analytical continuation problem. Our results for the density of states make clear the pronounced development of a pseudogap as the temperature is lowered in this formulation of the attractive Hubbard model.
