Abstract

Abstract We show how to apply renormalization group algorithms incorporating entanglement filtering methods and a loop optimization to a tensor network which includes Grassmann variables which represent fermions in an underlying lattice field theory. As a numerical test a variety of quantities are calculated for two dimensional Wilson-Majorana fermions and for the two flavor Gross-Neveu model. The improved algorithms show much better accuracy for quantities such as the free energy and the determination of Fisher’s zeros.

Tensor renormalization group for fermions

Shinichiro Akiyama, Yannick Meurice, Ryo Sakai

We review the basic ideas of the tensor renormalization group method and show how they can be applied for lattice field theory models involving relativistic fermions and Grassmann variables in arbitrary dimensions. We discuss recent progress for entanglement filtering, loop optimization, bond-weighting techniques and matrix product decompositions for Grassmann tensor networks. The new methods are tested with two-dimensional Wilson-Majorana fermions and multi-flavor Gross-Neveu models. We show that the methods can also be applied to the fermionic Hubbard model in 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions.

Higher-order tensor renormalization group for relativistic fermion systems

Ryo Sakai, Shinji Takeda, Yusuke Yoshimura

We apply the higher order tensor renormalization group to two and three dimensional relativistic fermion systems on the lattice. In order to perform a coarse-graining of tensor networks including Grassmann variables, we introduce Grassmann higher order tensor renormalization group. We test the validity of the new algorithm by comparing its results with those of exact or previous methods.

Entanglement filtering and improved coarse-graining on two dimensional tensor networks including fermions

Ryo Sakai, Muhammad Asaduzzaman, Simon M. Catterall +2 more

Tensor renormalization group (TRG) has attractive features like the absence of sign problems and the accessibility to the thermodynamic limit, and many applications to lattice field theories have been reported so far. However it is known that the TRG has a fictitious fixed point that is called the CDL tensor and that causes less accurate numerical results. There are improved coarse-graining methods that attempt to remove the CDL structure from tensor networks. Such approaches have been shown to be beneficial on two dimensional spin systems. We discuss how to adapt the removal of the CDL structure to tensor networks including fermions, and numerical results that contain some comparisons to the plain TRG, where significant differences are found, will be shown. The detailed discussion of this work is given in ref. [1].

Implementation of bond weighting method for the Grassmann tensor renormalization group

Shinichiro Akiyama

We demonstrate the efficiency of the bond weighting method for the Grassmann tensor renormalization group (TRG). Benchmarking with the two-dimensional Gross-Neveu model with the Wilson fermion at finite density, we show that the bond weighting method improves the accuracy of the original Grassmann TRG. We also provide a sample code of the bond-weighted TRG that can be applied to the two-dimensional models including fermions on a square lattice.

Loop Optimization for Tensor Network Renormalization

Shuo Yang, Zheng‐Cheng Gu, Xiao-Gang Wen

We introduce a tensor renormalization group scheme for coarse graining a two-dimensional tensor network that can be successfully applied to both classical and quantum systems on and off criticality. The key innovation in our scheme is to deform a 2D tensor network into small loops and then optimize the tensors on each loop. In this way, we remove short-range entanglement at each iteration step and significantly improve the accuracy and stability of the renormalization flow. We demonstrate our algorithm in the classical Ising model and a frustrated 2D quantum model.

A new technique to incorporate multiple fermion flavors in tensor renormalization group method for lattice gauge theories

Atis Yosprakob, Jun Nishimura, Kouichi Okunishi

Abstract We propose a new technique to incorporate multiple fermion flavors in the tensor renormalization group method for lattice gauge theories, where fermions are treated by the Grassmann tensor network formalism. The basic idea is to separate the site tensor into multiple layers associated with each flavor and to introduce the gauge field in each layer as replicas, which are all identified later. This formulation, after introducing an appropriate compression scheme in the network, enables us to reduce the size of the initial tensor with high efficiency compared with a naive implementation. The usefulness of this formulation is demonstrated by investigating the chiral phase transition and the Silver Blaze phenomenon in 2D Abelian gauge theories with Nf flavors of Wilson fermions up to Nf = 4.
