Phase space analysis of interacting fermions

Abstract

We propose the use of an orthogonal wave packet basis to analyze the low-energy physics of interacting electron systems with short range order. We give an introduction to wave packets and the related phase space representation of fermion systems, and show that they lend themselves to an efficient description of short range order. We illustrate the approach within an RG calculation for the one-dimensional Hubbard chain.

Gaussian phase-space representations for fermions

Joel Frederick Corney, P. D. Drummond

We introduce a positive phase-space representation for fermions, using the most general possible multimode Gaussian operator basis. The representation generalizes previous bosonic quantum phase-space methods to Fermi systems. We derive equivalences between quantum and stochastic moments, as well as operator correspondences that map quantum operator evolution onto stochastic processes in phase space. The representation thus enables first-principles quantum dynamical or equilibrium calculations in many-body Fermi systems. Potential applications are to strongly interacting and correlated Fermi gases, including coherent behavior in open systems and nanostructures described by master equations. Examples of an ideal gas and the Hubbard model are given, as well as a generic open system, in order to illustrate these ideas.

An Introduction to Bosonization and Some of its Applications

Sumathi Rao, Diptiman Sen

We discuss the technique of bosonization for studying systems of interacting fermions in one dimension. After briefly reviewing the low-energy properties of Fermi and Luttinger liquids, we present some of the relations between bosonic and fermionic operators in one dimension. We use these relations to calculate the correlation functions and the renormalization group properties of various operators for a system of spinless fermions. We then apply the methods of bosonization to study the Heisenberg antiferromagnetic spin 1/2 chain, the Hubbard model in one dimension and transport in clean quantum wires and in the presence of isolated impurities.

An Introduction to Bosonization and Some of its Applications

Sumathi Rao, Diptiman Sen

This chapter discusses the technique of bosonization for studying systems of interacting fermions in one dimension. It reviews the low-energy properties of Fermi and Luttinger liquids and presents some of the relations between bosonic and fermionic operators in one dimension. The chapter explores these relations to calculate the correlation functions and the renormalization group properties of various operators for a system of spinless fermions. It explains the methods of bosonization to study the Heisenberg antiferromagnetic spin 1/2 chain, the Hubbard model in one dimension and transport in clean quantum wires and in the presence of isolated impurities. The basic idea of bosonization is that there are certain objects which can be calculated either in a fermionic theory or in a bosonic theory, and the two calculations give the same answer. The chapter also discusses another application of bosonization, which is to study transport, in particular the DC conductivity in one-dimensional wires of interacting fermions.

A Wave Packet Approach to Interacting Fermions

Matthias Ossadnik

In this thesis, we study the breakdown of the Fermi liquid state in cuprate superconductors using the renormalization group (RG). We seek to extend earlier work on the crossover from the Fermi liquid state to the pseudo gap phase based on RG flows in the so-called saddle point regime. Progress in the derivation of effective models for the conjectured spin liquid state has been hindered, by the difficulties involved in solving the strong coupling low energy Hamiltonian. We tackle the problem by introducing an orthogonal wave packet basis, the so-called Wilson-Wannier (WW) basis, that can be used to interpolate between the momentum space and the real space descriptions. We show how to combine the WW basis with the RG, such that the RG is used to eliminate high-energy degrees of freedom, and the remaining strongly correlated system is solved approximately in the WW basis. We exemplify the approach for different one-dimensional model systems, and find good qualitative agreement with exact solutions even for very simple approximations. Finally, we reinvestigate the saddle point regime of the two-dimensional Hubbard model. We show that the anti-nodal states are driven to an insulating spin-liquid state with strong singlet pairing correlations, thus corroborating earlier conjectures.
