SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the Anderson model in its non-interacting limit (U=0) and explores the implications of modifying the hybridization term in the Hamiltonian. The original term, which conserves particle number, is replaced with a term that does not conserve particle number, raising questions about the presence of a resonance peak in the impurity density of states. Participants suggest that a Bogolyubov transformation may be a viable method to diagonalize the modified Hamiltonian and clarify the resulting physics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Anderson model in condensed matter physics
  • Familiarity with Hamiltonian mechanics and quantum field theory
  • Knowledge of Bogolyubov transformations

NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of non-conserving particle number in quantum mechanics

  • Examine the effects of hybridization in the Anderson model
  • Explore the density of states in modified Hamiltonians
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, particularly those specializing in condensed matter physics, quantum mechanics students, and researchers interested in the Anderson model and its modifications.

Hi guys, I wass recently thinking about the Anderson model in its non-interacting limit U=0. I ommit spin in the following and then the hamiltonian is

H_{0} + \varepsilon_{0}d^{\dagger}d + \sum_{k} V_{k}c_{k}^{\dagger}d + \text{h.c}

It is well know that due to the hybridization term V, a resonance of width ~ V^2 happens in the density of states of the impurity site. But suppose this term

\sum_{k} V_{k}c_{k}^{\dagger}d + \text{h.c}

is now changed to the term:

\sum_{k} V_{k}c_{k}^{\dagger}d^{\dagger} + \text{h.c}

i.e., particle number is NOT conserved in this modified Anderson hamiltonian at U=0. Would we still observe a resonance peak at the impurity density of states? The physics of such term are a bit unclear to me since it does not represent an hybridization term properly speaking, Thanks!

Perhaps you could try a Bogolyubov transformation to diagonalise the hamiltonian.
