One- and two-particle properties of the weakly interacting two-dimensional Hubbard model in proximity to the van Hove singularity

We study the weak-coupling limit of the $t\ensuremath{-}{t}^{\ensuremath{'}}\ensuremath{-}U$ Hubbard model on a two-dimensional square lattice using a direct perturbative approach. Aided by symbolic computational tools, we compute the longitudinal density-density correlation functions in the ${\ensuremath{\chi}}_{\ensuremath{\uparrow}\ensuremath{\uparrow}}$ and ${\ensuremath{\chi}}_{\ensuremath{\uparrow}\ensuremath{\downarrow}}$ basis from which we can obtain the dynamical spin and charge susceptibilities at arbitrary doping and temperature. We find that for nonzero ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$, the zero-frequency commensurate $\mathbf{q}=(\ensuremath{\pi},\ensuremath{\pi})$ spin and charge excitations are each strongest at different densities and we observe a clear behavioral change that appears tied to the van Hove singularity of the noninteracting dispersion upon which the perturbative expansion is built. We find a strongly reduced compressibility in the vicinity of the van Hove singularity as well as a behavioral change in the double occupancy. For finite ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$, the observed van Hove singularity occurs away from half filling, leading us to conclude that this reduction in compressibility is distinct from the Mott insulating physics that one expects in the strong-coupling regime. We compute the full dynamical spin and charge excitations and observe distinct structure for electron- and hole-doped scenarios, in agreement with experiments on cuprate materials. Finally, we observe a peculiar splitting in spin and charge excitations in the vicinity of the van Hove singularity, the origin of which is traced to a splitting near the bottom of the band.
