ARPES spectral function generated by a continued fraction ansatz for the one-electron Green function

Our continued fraction method (CFM) for the one-electron Green function combines rigorous microscopic expressions for leading spectral moments with a phenomenological Fermi liquid terminator [1,2]. First, I give a general introduction to ARPES theory in the framework of the sudden approximation, involving the one-electron Green function. Then, I discuss the insight provided by the CFM to the following problems:

- Quasiparticle weight and dynamical weight transfer across the correlation gap in the doped Hubbard model

- Energy distribution curve (EDC) at small and interrmediate energy scales. Dispersion of the extrema ("peaks") in the EDC

- Phenomenology of interference between quasiparticle- and background-spectrum
