over by XH(U = oo,d,q) (the susceptibility of the U = 00 Hubbard

model).
Strictly at n = 1 the U = 00 model is a set of decoupled spins,
and its susceptibility is the q-independent x(U = oo) = C/T with the
appropriate Curie constant. It follows that the susceptibility of the
paramagnetic phase of the t-J model satisfies

(10.79)

At low temperatures, the uniform susceptibility approaches x N l/J

as n + 1. Thinking of reasonable t / J ratios, the enhancement with
-
respect to the Pauli value x l / t is large, but certainly not diverging.
On the other hand, the q=Q suscepibility can diverge at sufficiently low
T and we expect antiferromagnetism in a finite interval of n centered
onn=l.
The same idea can be exploited to map out the large-U part of the
n-U phase diagram of the Hubbard model [308]. (10.78) says that the
uniform susceptibility

(10.80)

is suppressed as we lower U . At the same time, the staggered suscepti-

bility

is enhanced. In the intermediate-coupling regime, the surviving order is

antiferromagnetism (or SDW). Whether we have ferromagnetism in the
strong coupling limit, depends on finding x(V = 00, q = 0, n) + 00 in
a range of n. Our variational study (Sec. 10.6.4) indicated that there is
such a range but it would be comforting to have independent evidence
from DMFT. QMC cannot be applied at U = 00, but the question can be
investigated with the so-called non-crossing approximation (NCA wm
developed originally for the Anderson impurity problem). The result
is that the U = 00 model is ferromagnetic for ncr < n < 1, where
ncr is estimated to lie between 0.6 and 0.7, The Curie temperature is
