On the Scaling Limit of the 1D Hubbard Model at Half Filling

Abstract

The dispersion relations and S-matrix of the one-dimensional Hubbard model at half filling are considered in a certain scaling limit. (In the process we derive a useful small-coupling expansion of the exact lattice dispersion relations.) The resulting scattering theory is consistently identified as that of the SU(2) chiral-invariant Thirring (or Gross-Neveu) field theory, containing both massive and massless sectors.
