Self-Consistent Strong-Coupling-Perturbation Theory for the Anderson Model, Based on Wicks Theorem

Abstract

A strong-coupling-perturbation theory around the Atomic Limit of the Anderson model with large $U$ for a localized $f$-orbital coupled to a conduction-electron band is presented. Although an auxiliary-particle representation is {\em not} used, application of the canonical Wick's theorem is possible and yields an expansion in the hybridization $V$ via dressed skeleton-Feynman diagrams. The Self-Consistent T-Approximation is constructed as a $\Phi$-derivable approximation. From a numerical solution of self-consistency equations the $f$-electron-excitation spectrum is investigated. Comparison to the Non-Crossing Approximation is made in virtue of exact formal relations and numerical results. An extension of this Feynman-diagram approach to the Anderson-lattice model is indicated, and application within the Local-Approximation scheme (limit of infinite spatial dimension) is given.
