Antiferromagnetic fluctuations in the one-dimensional Hubbard model

We study the low-temperature critical behavior of the one-dimensional Hubbard model near half filling caused by enhanced antiferromagnetic fluctuations. We use a mean-field-type approximation with a two-particle self-consistency renormalizing the bare interaction. It allows us to control a transition from high to low temperatures as well as from weak to strong-coupling. We show that there is a crossover temperature T-0 = texp{-1/U rho (0)} for arbitrary interaction U > 0 and the bare density of states at the Fermi energy rho (0) > 0. The solution at lower temperatures goes over to strong coupling and approaches a quantum critical point with the diverging staggered susceptibility and a gap in the excitation spectrum at zero temperature.
