The strong-coupling perturbation theory of the Hubbard model is presented a
nd carried out tu order (t/U)(5) for the one-particle Green function In arb
itrary dimension. The spectral weight A(k,omega) is expressed as a Jacobi c
ontinued fraction and compared with new Monte-Carlo data of the one-dimensi
onal, half-filled Hubbard model. Different regimes (insulator, conductor an
d short-range antiferromagnet) are identified in the temperature-hopping in
tegral (T, t) plane. This work completes a first paper on the subject (Phys
. Rev. Lett. 80, 5389 (1998)) by providing details on diagrammatic rules an
d higher-order results. In addition, the non half-filled case, infinite res
ummations of diagrams and the double occupancy are discussed. Various tests
: of the method are also presented.
