New Green function approach describing the ferromagnetic state in the simple Hubbard model

We consider a Hubbard model with occupation dependent hopping integrals. Using the Hartree-Fock (H-F) approximation and the new Green function approach with inter-site kinetic averages included, we analyze the influence of the correlated hopping on ferromagnetic ordering. The influence of correlated hopping on the nonlocal quasiparticle energies and corresponding k-dependent spectral weights is included. In addition we obtain the shift of the spin bands which is a major factor in creating spontaneous ferromagnetism. At some parameters of the model the correlated hopping effect is strong enough to achieve saturated ferromagnetism. This state may be obtained at the asymmetric density of states (DOS) and the Fermi energy located in the region of large spectral weight near the band edge. The results are compared with DMFT-Quantum Monte Carlo calculations and with the Hubbard III approximation which includes the correlated hopping effect.
