Abstract

A new theoretical analysis of the conductivity tensor is developed by use of the composite operator method for the two-dimensional Hubbard model. With the aid of the Ward-Takahashi identities which phrase the charge conservation law, the calculation of the current-current propagator is reduced hierarchically to the current-charge and charge-charge ones. Besides, the fermionic character of the propagating charges is preserved because of a constraining equation with the content of the Pauli principle which uniquely fixes the single-particle dynamics.
