Tensor renormalization group for fermions

Abstract

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.

Improved coarse-graining methods for two dimensional tensor networks including fermions

Muhammad Asaduzzaman, Simon M. Catterall, Yannick Meurice +2 more

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.

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.

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.

More about the Grassmann tensor renormalization group

Shinichiro Akiyama, Daisuke Kadoh

Abstract We derive a general formula of the tensor network representation for d-dimensional lattice fermions with ultra-local interactions, including Wilson fermions, staggered fermions, and domain-wall fermions. The Grassmann tensor is concretely defined with auxiliary Grassmann variables that play a role in bond degrees of freedom. Compared to previous works, our formula does not refer to the details of lattice fermions and is derived by using the singular value decomposition for the given Dirac matrix without any ad-hoc treatment for each fermion. We numerically test our formula for free Wilson and staggered fermions and find that it properly works for them. We also find that Wilson fermions show better performance than staggered fermions in the tensor renormalization group approach, unlike the Monte Carlo method.

Tensor renormalization group approach to higher dimensional fermions

Ryo Sakai, Shinji Takeda

We apply the higher order tensor renormalization group to two and three dimensional lattice fermion systems. To deal with tensor networks including Grassmann variables, we introduce Grassmann higher order tensor renormalization group (GHOTRG). Thanks to its deterministic property, GHOTRG is perfectly free of the sign problem. To test the validity of the new algorithm, we analyze well-known systems such as the Thirring model using GHOTRG.

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.
