Absence of Mott Transition in an Exact Solution of the Short-Range, One-Band Model in One Dimension.

In "THE PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS", Vol. 20, N. 25, 17 June 1968, pp. 1445-1448, AND Errata, Phys. Rev. Letters, Vol. 21, N. 3, p.192, two entire issues in original printed wrappers. Very fine copies, ownership inscriptions. FIRST EDITION. " In February 1967, Wu met Elliott Lieb who was visiting VPI to give a talk on the Bethe ansatz evaluation of the entropy of two-dimensional ice, a 6-vertex model. Wu soon realized the underlying graphical aspects of two-dimensional vertex models and solved the thermodynamics of a related 5-vertex model using the Pfaffian approach. The result was published in the April issue of Physical Review Letters(PRL) of the same year and in September 1967, Wu moved to Northeastern University to join Lieb’s group. In 1968, after Wu’s arrival at Northeastern, Lieb and Wu obtained the exact solution of the ground state of the one-dimensional Hubbard model and published the result in PRL, a work which has since become highly important after the advent of high-temperature superconductivity. This Lieb–Wu paper and Wu’s 1982 review of the Potts model in Reviews of Modern Physics are among the most cited papers in condensed matter physics. Later in1968 Lieb departed Northeastern for MIT. As a result, the full version of the solution was not published until 34 years later when Lieb and Wu collaborated to work on the manuscript on the occasion of Wu’s 70th birthday ".
