The two orbital Hubbard model in a square lattice: A DMFT + DMRG approach

Abstract

We develop a precise and reliable numerical method for the calculation of electronic properties of the two orbital Hubbard model in a square lattice at half filling, based on the Dynamical Mean Field Theory (DMFT). We use the Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) as the impurity solver for the DMFT's selfconsistent equations to obtain accurate values for the Green's functions on the real axis. This way, reliable densities of states are obtained that do not need to resort to analytical continuation methods as those using quantum Monte Carlo techniques. Large system sizes can be achieved with increasing accuracy.
