Abstract

The zero temperature Mott-Hubbard transition as a function of the Coulomb repulsion U is investigated in the limit of large dimensions. The behavior of the density of states near the transition at U=Uc is analyzed in all orders of the skeleton expansion. It is shown that only two transition scenarios are consistent with the skeleton expansion for U<Uc: (i) The Mott-Hubbard transition is &#34;discontinuous&#34; in the sense that in the density of states finite spectral weight is redistributed at Uc. (ii) The transition occurs via a point at U=Uc where the system is neither a Fermi liquid nor an insulator.
