Abstract

We discuss the thermodynamics of the O(3) nonlinear sigma model in $1+1$ dimensions at nonzero chemical potential (equivalent to a magnetic field). In its conventional field theory representation the model suffers from a sign problem. By dualizing the model, we are able to fully access the nonzero density regime of an asymptotically free theory with dynamical mass gap at arbitrary chemical potential values. We find a quantum phase transition at zero temperature where as a function of the chemical potential the density assumes a nonzero value. Measuring the spin stiffness we present evidence for a corresponding dynamical critical exponent $z$ close to 2. The low energy O(3) model is conjectured to be described by a massive boson triplet with repulsive interactions. We confirm the universal square-root behavior expected for such a system at low density (and temperature) and compare our data to the results of Bethe Ansatz solutions of the relativistic and nonrelativistic one-dimensional Bose gas. We also comment on a potential Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition at nonzero density.

Thermodynamics in the vicinity of a relativistic quantum critical point in 2+1 dimensions

Adam Rançon, Ousmane Kodio, N. Dupuis +1 more

We study the thermodynamics of the relativistic quantum O$(N)$ model in two space dimensions. In the vicinity of the zero-temperature quantum critical point (QCP), the pressure can be written in the scaling form $P(T)=P(0)+N({T}^{3}/{c}^{2}){\mathcal{F}}_{N}(\ensuremath{\Delta}/T)$, where $c$ is the velocity of the excitations at the QCP and $|\ensuremath{\Delta}|$ a characteristic zero-temperature energy scale. Using both a large-$N$ approach to leading order and the nonperturbative renormalization group, we compute the universal scaling function ${\mathcal{F}}_{N}$. For small values of $N$ ($N\ensuremath{\lesssim}10$) we find that ${\mathcal{F}}_{N}(x)$ is nonmonotonic in the quantum critical regime ($|x|\ensuremath{\lesssim}1$) with a maximum near $x=0$. The large-$N$ approach---if properly interpreted---is a good approximation both in the renormalized classical ($x\ensuremath{\lesssim}\ensuremath{-}1$) and quantum disordered ($x\ensuremath{\gtrsim}1$) regimes, but fails to describe the nonmonotonic behavior of ${\mathcal{F}}_{N}$ in the quantum critical regime. We discuss the renormalization-group flows in the various regimes near the QCP and make the connection with the quantum nonlinear sigma model in the renormalized classical regime. We compute the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition temperature in the quantum O(2) model and find that in the vicinity of the QCP the universal ratio ${T}_{\mathrm{BKT}}/{\ensuremath{\rho}}_{s}(0)$ is very close to $\ensuremath{\pi}/2$, implying that the stiffness ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{s}({T}_{\mathrm{BKT}}^{\ensuremath{-}})$ at the transition is only slightly reduced with respect to the zero-temperature stiffness ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{s}(0)$. Finally, we briefly discuss the experimental determination of the universal function ${\mathcal{F}}_{2}$ from the pressure of a Bose gas in an optical lattice near the superfluid--Mott-insulator transition.

O(3) nonlinear sigma model in 1+1 dimensions with matrix product states

Falk Bruckmann A, Karl Jansen, Stefan Kühn

We numerically study the spectral properties, the entanglement and the zero-temperature phase structure at nonvanishing chemical potential of the O(3) nonlinear sigma model. Using matrix product states, a particular kind of one-dimensional tensor network state, we show that we are able to reach the asymptotic scaling regime and to reproduce the analytical predictions for the mass gap at vanishing chemical potential. In addition, we study the scaling of the entanglement entropy towards the continuum limit obtaining a central charge consistent with 2. Moreover, our approach does not suffer from the sign problem and we also explore the phase structure of the model for nonzero chemical potential and map out the location of the transitions between different charge sectors with high precision.

Universal behavior of two-dimensional bosonic gases at Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transitions

Giacomo Ceccarelli, Jacopo Nespolo, Andrea Pelissetto C +1 more

We study the universal critical behavior of two-dimensional (2D) lattice bosonic gases at the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition, which separates the low-temperature superfluid phase from the high-temperature normal phase. For this purpose, we perform quantum Monte Carlo simulations of the hard-core Bose-Hubbard (BH) model at zero chemical potential. We determine the critical temperature by using a matching method that relates finite-size data for the BH model with corresponding data computed in the classical $XY$ model. In this approach, the neglected scaling corrections decay as inverse powers of the lattice size $L$, and not as powers of $1/\mathrm{ln}L$, as in more standard approaches, making the estimate of the critical temperature much more reliable. Then, we consider the BH model in the presence of a trapping harmonic potential, and we verify the universality of the trap-size dependence at the BKT critical point. This issue is relevant for experiments with quasi-2D trapped cold atoms.

Tensor renormalization group study of (1+1)-dimensional O(3) nonlinear sigma model with and without finite chemical potential

Y. Kuramashi, Xiao Luo

We study (1+1)-dimensional O(3) nonlinear sigma model using the tensor renormalization group method with the infinite limit of the bond dimension $D_{\rm cut}\rightarrow \infty$. At the vanishing chemical potential $\mu=0$, we investigate the von Neumann and R\'enyi types of entanglement entropies. The central charge is determined to be $c=1.97(9)$ by using the asymptotic scaling properties of the entropies. We also examine the consistency between two entropies. In the finite density region with $\mu\ne 0$, where this model suffers from the sign problem in the standard Monte Carlo approach, we investigate the properties of the quantum phase transition. We determine the transition point $\mu_{\rm c}$ and the critical exponent of the correlation length $\nu$ from the $\mu$ dependence of the number density in the thermodynamic limit. The dynamical critical exponent $z$ is also extracted from the scaling behavior of the temporal correlation length as a function of $\mu$. This is the first successful calculation of the dynamical critical exponent with the TRG method.

Quantum critical behavior and thermodynamics of the repulsive one-dimensional Hubbard model in a magnetic field

Ovidiu I. Pâţu, Andreas Klümper, Angela Foerster

Even though the Hubbard model is one of the most fundamental models of highly correlated electrons, analytical and numerical data describing its thermodynamics at nonzero magnetization are relatively scarce. We present a detailed investigation of the thermodynamic properties for the one-dimensional repulsive Hubbard model in the presence of an arbitrary magnetic field for all values of the filling fraction and temperatures as low as $T\ensuremath{\sim}0.005t.$ Our analysis is based on the system of integral equations derived in the quantum transfer matrix framework. We determine the critical exponents of the quantum phase transitions and also provide analytical derivations for some of the universal functions characterizing the thermodynamics in the vicinities of the quantum critical points. Extensive numerical data for the specific heat, susceptibility, compressibility, and entropy are reported. The experimentally relevant double occupancy presents an interesting doubly nonmonotonic temperature dependence at intermediate values of the interaction strength and also at large repulsion and magnetic fields close to the critical value. The susceptibility in zero magnetic field has a logarithmic singularity at low temperatures for all filling factors similar to the behavior of the same quantity in the spin-1/2 isotropic Heisenberg model. We determine the density profiles for a harmonically trapped system and show that while the total density profile seems to depend mainly on the value of chemical potential at the center of the trap the distribution of phases in the inhomogeneous system changes dramatically as we increase the magnetic field.
