Greiter replies to Demler, Zhang, Meixner, and Hanke

Abstract

In a comment on my recent manuscript on the pi-particle [cond-mat/9705049], Demler et al. [cond-mat/9705191] argued that there is a correction to the chemical potential which enters the expression for the energy of the pi-particle given in [Demler and Zhang, Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 4126 (1995)]. This is shown to be incorrect. I further offer an interpretation for the low-energy resonances observed by Meixner et al. [cond-mat/9701217] in the pi-pi correlation function in a finite-size Hubbard cluster at low electron densities.
