Renormalization group approach to the one-dimensional 1/4-filled Hubbard model with alternating on-site interactions

The one-dimensional Hubbard model with different on-site interactions is investigated by renormalization group technique. In the case of a 1/4-filled band the dynamical nonequivalence of sites leads to the appearance of Umklapp processes in the system and to the dynamical generation of a gap in the charge excitation spectrum for $U_{a}\not=U_{b}$, $U_{a}>0$ or $U_{b}>0$. The ground-state phase diagram is obtained in the limit of second order renormalization. Depending on the sign and relative values of the bare coupling constants, there is a gap in the spin or charge excitation spectrum and the model system tends to superconducting or antiferromagnetic order at T=0, with doubled period. The role of interaction between particles on nearest and next-nearest neighbor sites is also considered.
