Abstract

The problem of finding of the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic "symmetry broken" solutions of the correlated lattice fermion models beyond the mean-field approximation has been investigated. The calculation of the quasiparticle excitation spectra with damping for the single- and multi-orbital Hubbard model has been performed in the framework of the equation- of-motion method for two-time temperature Green's Functions within a non-perturbative approach. A unified scheme for the construction of Generalized Mean Fields (elastic scattering corrections) and self-energy (inelastic scattering) in terms of the Dyson equation has been generalized in order to include the presence of the "source fields". The damping of quasiparticles, which reflects the interaction of the single-particle and collective degrees of freedom has been calculated. The "symmetry broken" dynamical solutions of the Hubbard model, which correspond to various types of itinerant antiferromagnetism has been discussed. This approach complements previous studies and clarifies the nature of the concepts of itinerant antiferromagnetism and "spin-aligning field" of correlated lattice fermions.
