Controlling Feynman diagrammatic expansions: physical nature of the   pseudo gap in the two-dimensional Hubbard model
  We introduce a method for summing Feynman's perturbation series based on diagrammatic Monte Carlo that significantly improves its convergence properties. This allows us to investigate in a controllable manner the pseudogap regime of the Hubbard model and to study the nodal/antinodal dichotomy at low doping and intermediate coupling. Marked differences from the weak coupling scenario are manifest, such as a higher degree of incoherence at the antinodes than at the `hot spots'. Our results show that the pseudogap and reduction of quasiparticle coherence at the antinode is due to antiferromagnetic spin correlations centered around the commensurate $(\pi,\pi)$ wavevector. In contrast, the dominant source of scattering at the node is associated with incommensurate momentum transfer. Umklapp scattering is found to play a key role in the nodal/antinodal dichotomy.
