E. Arrigoni et Gc. Strinati, IMPLEMENTING THE 4-SLAVE-BOSON APPROACH WITH THE CORRECT CONTINUUM-LIMIT OF THE FUNCTIONAL INTEGRAL, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 235, 1994, pp. 2255-2256
We show that physical inconsistencies, occurring when considering Gaus
sian corrections to the saddle-point solution within the Kotliar and R
uckenstein four-slave-boson approach, can be removed by a proper treat
ment of the continuum limit of the associated functional integral and
by a consistent analytic choice of the bosonic hopping factor. Our res
ults show good agreement with an exact cluster calculation.
