Abstract

Employing dynamical cluster quantum Monte Carlo calculations we show that the single-particle spectral weight A(k,ω) of the one-band two-dimensional Hubbard model displays a high-energy kink in the quasiparticle dispersion followed by a steep dispersion of a broad peak similar to recent angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy results reported for the cuprates. Based on the agreement between the Monte Carlo results and a simple calculation which couples the quasiparticle to spin fluctuations, we conclude that the kink and the broad spectral feature in the Hubbard model spectra is due to scattering with damped high-energy spin fluctuations.
