Abstract

The zero-temperature transition from a paramagnetic metal to a paramagnetic insulator is investigated in the dynamical mean field theory for the Hubbard model. The self-energy of the effective impurity Anderson model (on which the Hubbard model is mapped) is calculated using Wilson's numerical renormalization group method. Results for the quasiparticle weight, the spectral function, and the self-energy are discussed for the Bethe and the hypercubic lattice. In both cases, the metal-insulator transition is found to occur via the vanishing of a quasiparticle resonance that appears to be isolated from the Hubbard bands.
