Low-density ferromagnetism in the Hubbard model

Abstract
A single-band Hubbard model with nearest and next-nearest neighbor hopping is studied for d=1, 2, 3, using both analytical and numerical techniques. In one dimension, saturated ferromagnetism is found above a critical value of U for a band structure with two minima and for small and intermediate densities. This is an extension of a scenario recently proposed by Müller-Hartmann. For three dimensions and nonpathological band structures, it is proven that such a scenario does not work. © 1996 The American Physical Society.
