Scattering mechanisms and spectral properties of the one-dimensional Hubbard model

Abstract

It is found that the finite-energy spectral properties of the one-dimensional Hubbard model are controlled by the scattering of charged $\eta$-spin-zero $2\nu$-holon composite objects, spin-zero $2\nu$-spinon composite objects, and charged $\eta$-spin-less and spin-less objects, rather than by the scattering of independent $\eta$-spin 1/2 holons and spin 1/2 spinons. Here $\nu =1,2,...$. The corresponding $S$ matrix is calculated and its relation to the spectral properties is clarified.
