Abstract
We propose a new renormalized strong-coupling expansion
to describe the electron spectral properties of single-band Anderson
impurity problem in a wide energy range. The first-order result of
our scheme reproduces well the entire single-electron spectrum of
correlated impurity with the Kondo-like logarithmic contributions to
the self energy and the renormalization of atomic resonances due to
hybridization with conduction electrons. The Friedel sum rule for a
half-filled system is fulfilled. The approach is based on so-called
dual transformation, so that the series is constructed in vertices
of the corresponding atomic Hamiltonian problem. The atomic problem
of single impurity has a degenerate ground state, so the application
of the perturbation theory is not straightforward. We construct a
special approach dealing with symmetry-broken ground state of the
atomic problem. The renormalization ensures a convergence near the
frequencies of atomic resonances. Proposed expansion contains a
small parameter in the weak- and in the the strong-coupling case and
interpolates well in between. Formulae for the first-order dual
diagram correction are obtained analytically in the real-time
domain. A generalization of this scheme to a multi-orbital case can
be important for the realistic description of correlated solids.
