The effective action and the spectrum of collective modes in the antiferromagnetic phase of the three-band repulsive hubbard model

The paper is concerned with the application of path integration (successive integration over “fast” and “slow” variables and the Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation) to the antiferromagnetic state in the three-band, two-dimensional repulsive Hubbard model. It is shown that, in the lowest approximation, the model under consideration is equivalent to the half-filled single-band Hubbard model. The effective action for the collective Bose-fields, the critical temperature of the phase transition, and the spectra of excitations are obtained. Bibliography: 24 titles.
