We show that the factorized wave-function of Ogata and Shiba can be used to calculate the k dependent spectral functions of the one-dimensional, infinite U Hubbard model, and of some extensions to finite U . The resulting spectral function is remarkably rich: In addition to low energy features typical of Luttinger liquids, there is a well defined band, which we identify as the shadow band resulting from 2kF spin fluctuations. This band should be detectable experimentally because its intensity is comparable to that of the main band for a large range of momenta. 71.10.Fd, 78.20.Bh The calculation of the spectral functions of models of correlated electrons is one the most challenging and largely unsolved issues of condensed matter theory. Although a number of numerical techniques can be used, e.g. exact diagonalization of finite clusters [1] or quantum Monte Carlo simulations [2], exact results are available only in very special cases, mostly for one-dimensional spin models [3]. As far as one-dimensional electron models are concerned, most of the well established results have been obtained in the framework of the Luttinger liquid theory [4,5,6,7], which is believed to be the correct description of the low energy properties of a large class of Hamiltonians. However, an accurate determination of the dynamical properties for all frequencies is so far still lacking.In this paper we perform such a calculation for the following one-dimensional models:i) The Hubbard model defined by the Hamiltonianin the infinite U limit, which is also equivalent to the J → 0 limit of the standard t − J model; ii) An extension of the t − J model first proposed by Xiang and d'Ambrumenil
