EXACT EXPRESSION OF THE GROUND-STATE ENERGY FOR THE SYMMETRIC ANDERSON MODEL Norio KAWAKAMI and Ayao OKIJI Department of AppliedPhysics, Osaka University, Suita, Osaka 565, Japan Received 14 July 1981
The exact expression of the ground-state energy for the symmetric Anderson model is obtained with the use of the Wiegmann approach. It is found that some of the quasi-momenta appearing in Wiegmann’s paper are necessarily complex to obtain the expression of the ground-state energy.
It was shown by Wiegmann [1] that the Anderson hamiltonian [2], which describes the formation of a localized moment in a metal, is completely soluble under certain assumptions. In this paper, the exact expression of the ground-state energy for the symmetric Anderson harniltonian is given with the use of Wiegmann’s approach. Firstly, let us summarize Wiegmann’s work briefly. The Anderson hamiltonian can be written as
where 6(x) is the Dirac 6-function and the energy is measured from the Fermi energy. It was shown that the solution of this hamiltoriian (H0 + H’) can be obtamed with the use of the Bethe ansatz [1]. In order to diagonalize it, it is convenient to make use of Yang’s method [3] which was applied to the one-dimensional fermion system with the interaction of 6-function type. The following results can be deduced,

0=dd0). (1) Suppose that Vk does not depend on k and that the values of U, ~d and V2 are small compared with the Fermi energy. With these assumptions the following deductions can be made: the system reduces to a onedimensional one; the impurity effect of electron states far from the Fermi surface on the physical quantities can be neglected; then the energy spectrum, 6k~may be expressed as a linear function of k. Furthermore, assuming that thebeimpurity at x = 0,form, the hamil0 can rewrittenis located in the following tonian H = J’dx { —ic(x) (d/dx)c 0(x)

Supposing all the values of k and A are real, it follows that in the case of U~+0or V2 ~ +0, all the electron states above the Fermi energy are occupied and those below the Fermi energy are unoccupied. This is an unphysical result. For the ground state with the magnetization S~= ~(N 2M), it is found that one must consider 2M complex k’s, N 2M real k’s and M real A’s to obtain the solution of eq. (3). Such a treatment of complex k appeared previously in the study of the one-dimensional fermion system with attractive interaction [4,5]. For large L, 2M complex k’s may be expressed with the use ofM real A’s as —

Fi. nally, it is interesting to point out that when U ~ V2 the anomalous energy gain proportional to TK (Kondo temperature) [7] can be obtained analytically by calculating the integral in expression (10) within the re gion near the position of the arrow in fig. 2b. Note that the Fermi surface of the U = 0 or V2 = 0 cases is located at this arrow.
