is also very small.

The case of the square lattice is somewhat different because of the
logarithmic divergence of p(e) as e + 0. Still we can make a derivation
similar to (7.67)

(numerical factors are omitted even in the exponent, we are interested

only in the form of the function). (7.71) being in an exponential sense
larger than (7.68), we may conclude that the square lattice Hubbard
model has an anomalously strong tendency towards AF ordering in the
weak-coupling regime.
It is educative to study the case of a band with a constant density
of states: the gap equation can be solved in closed form, and the devel-
opment of the SDW from weak coupling (small U ) to strong coupling
limit (large U )can be followed in detail (this will be discussed further
in Sec. 7.6.3).
