Nonperturbative Renormalisation Group: Applications to the few and many-body systems

Abstract

We consider the applications of functional renormalisation group to few and many-body systems. As an application to the few-body dynamics we study the ratio between the fermion-fermion scattering length and the dimer-dimer scattering length for systems of few nonrelativistic fermions. We find a strong dependence on the cutoff function used in the renormalisation flow for a two-body truncation of the action. Adding a simple threebody term substantially reduces this dependence. In the context of many-body physics we study the dynamics of both symmetric and asymmetric many-fermion systems using the same functional renormalisation technique. It is demonstrated that functional renormalisation group gives sensible and reliable results and provides a solid theoretical ground for the future studies. Open questions as well as lines of further developments are discussed.

Renormalization group, dimer-dimer scattering, and three-body forces

Boris Krippa, Niels R. Walet, Michael C. Birse

We study the ratio between the fermion-fermion scattering length and the dimer-dimer scattering length for systems of nonrelativistic fermions, using the same functional renormalization technique as previously applied to fermionic matter. We find a strong dependence on the cutoff function used in the renormalization flow for a two-body truncation of the action. Adding a simple three-body term substantially reduces this dependence.

Convergence of a renormalization-group approach to dimer-dimer scattering

Michael C. Birse, Boris Krippa, Niels R. Walet

We study the convergence of a functional renormalization group technique by looking at the ratio between the fermion-fermion scattering length and the dimer-dimer scattering length for a system of nonrelativistic fermions. We find that in a systematic expansion in powers of the fields there is a rapid convergence of the result that agrees with known exact results.

Functional renormalization group for two-body scattering

Michael C. Birse

The functional renormalization group is applied to the effective action for scattering of two nonrelativistic fermions. The resulting physical effective action is shown to contain the correct threshold singularity. The corresponding ``bare'' action respects Galilean invariance up to second order in momenta. Beyond that order it contains terms that violate this symmetry and, for the particular regulator considered, nonanalytic third-order terms. The corresponding potential can be expanded around a nontrivial fixed point using the power counting appropriate to a system with large scattering length.

Renormalisation in Quantum Mechanics

Michael C. Birse

This lecture provides an introduction to the renormalisation group as applied to scattering of two nonrelativistic particles. As well as forming a framework for constructing effective theories of few-nucleon systems, these ideas also provide a simple example which illustrates general features of the renormalisation group.

Efimov effect from functional renormalization

Sergej Moroz, Stefan Floerchinger, Richard Schmidt +1 more

We apply a field-theoretic functional renormalization-group technique to the few-body (vacuum) physics of nonrelativistic atoms near a Feshbach resonance. Three systems are considered: one-component bosons with a U(1) symmetry, two-component fermions with a $\text{U}(1)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\text{SU}(2)$ symmetry, and three-component fermions with a $\text{U}(1)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\text{SU}(3)$ symmetry. We focus on the scale-invariant unitarity limit of an infinite scattering length. The exact solution for the two-body sector is consistent with the unitary fixed-point behavior of the considered systems. Nevertheless, the numerical three-body solution in the $s$-wave sector develops a limit cycle scaling in case of U(1) bosons and SU(3) fermions. The Efimov parameter for the one-component bosons and the three-component fermions is found to be $s\ensuremath{\approx}1.006$, consistent with the result of Efimov.
