Hypergeometric continuation of divergent perturbation series: II. Comparison with Shanks transformation and Padé approximation

Abstract

We explore in detail how analytic continuation of divergent perturbation series by generalized hypergeometric functions is achieved in practice. Using the example of strong-coupling perturbation series provided by the two-dimensional Bose–Hubbard model, we compare hypergeometric continuation to Shanks and Padé techniques, and demonstrate that the former yields a powerful, efficient and reliable alternative for computing the phase diagram of the Mott insulator-to-superfluid transition. In contrast to Shanks transformations and Padé approximations, hypergeometric continuation also allows us to determine the exponents which characterize the divergence of correlation functions at the transition points. Therefore, hypergeometric continuation constitutes a promising tool for the study of quantum phase transitions.

Hypergeometric continuation of divergent perturbation series: I. Critical exponents of the Bose–Hubbard model

Sören Sanders, Martin Holthaus

We study the connection between the exponent of the order parameter of the Mott insulator-to-superfluid transition occurring in the two-dimensional Bose–Hubbard model, and the divergence exponents of its one- and two-particle correlation functions. We find that at the multicritical points all divergence exponents are related to each other, allowing us to express the critical exponent in terms of one single divergence exponent. This approach correctly reproduces the critical exponent of the three-dimensional XY universality class. Because divergence exponents can be computed in an efficient manner by hypergeometric analytic continuation, our strategy is applicable to a wide class of systems.

Hypergeometric analytic continuation of the strong-coupling perturbation series for the 2d Bose-Hubbard model

Sören Sanders, Christoph Heinisch, Martin Holthaus

We develop a scheme for analytic continuation of the strong-coupling perturbation series of the pure Bose-Hubbard model beyond the Mott insulator-to-superfluid transition at zero temperature, based on hypergeometric functions and their generalizations. We then apply this scheme for computing the critical exponent of the order parameter of this quantum phase transition for the two-dimensional case, which falls into the universality class of the three-dimensional $XY$ model. This leads to anontrivial test of the universality hypothesis.

Quantum critical properties of Bose–Hubbard models

Sören Sanders, Martin Holthaus

Abstract The Mott insulator-to-superfluid transition exhibited by the Bose–Hubbard model on a two-dimensional square lattice occurs for any value of the chemical potential, but becomes critical at the tips of the so-called Mott lobes only. Employing a numerical approach based on a combination of high-order perturbation theory and hypergeometric analytic continuation we investigate how quantum critical properties manifest themselves in computational practice. We consider two-dimensional triangular lattices and three-dimensional cubic lattices for comparison, providing accurate parametrizations of the phase boundaries at the tips of the respective first lobes. In particular, we lend strong support to a recently suggested inequality which bounds the divergence exponent of the one-particle correlation function in terms of that of the two-particle correlation function, and which sharpens to an equality if and only if a system becomes critical.

Strong-coupling expansion for the two-species Bose-Hubbard model

M. Iskin

To analyze the ground-state phase diagram of Bose-Bose mixtures loaded into $d$-dimensional hypercubic optical lattices, we perform a strong-coupling power-series expansion in the kinetic energy term (plus a scaling analysis) for the two-species Bose-Hubbard model with onsite boson-boson interactions. We consider both repulsive and attractive interspecies interaction, and obtain an analytical expression for the phase boundary between the incompressible Mott insulator and the compressible superfluid phase up to third order in the hoppings. In particular, we find a re-entrant quantum phase transition from paired superfluid (superfluidity of composite bosons, i.e., Bose-Bose pairs) to Mott insulator and again to a paired superfluid in all one, two, and three dimensions, when the interspecies interaction is sufficiently large and attractive. We hope that some of our results could be tested with ultracold atomic systems.

Mott-insulator–to–superfluid transition in the Bose-Hubbard model: A strong-coupling approach

K. Sengupta, N. Dupuis

We present a strong-coupling expansion of the Bose-Hubbard model which describes both the superfluid and the Mott phases of ultracold bosonic atoms in an optical lattice. By performing two successive Hubbard-Stratonovich transformations of the intersite hopping term, we derive an effective action which provides a suitable starting point to study the strong-coupling limit of the Bose-Hubbard model. This action can be analyzed by taking into account Gaussian fluctuations about the mean-field approximation as in the Bogoliubov theory of the weakly interacting Bose gas. In the Mott phase, we reproduce results of previous mean-field theories and also calculate the momentum distribution function. In the superfluid phase, we find a gapless spectrum and compare our results with the Bogoliubov theory.
