Block-spin method for free fermions on a lattice

Abstract

A real-space renormalization-group method for free fermions on a lattice is proposed. It uses canonical transformations to partially decouple the block variables. It extends the previous work of Drell, Weinstein, Yankielowicz, and Svetitsky.

Proposal of a renormalization group transformation for lattice field theories

L. A. Fernández, A. Muñoz Sudupe, Juan Jesus Ruiz-Lorenzo +1 more

We propose a new real space renormalization group transformation useful for Monte Carlo calculations in theories with global or local symmetries. From relaxation arguments we define the block-spin transformation with two tunable free parameters, adapted to the system's action. Varying them it is possible to place the fixed point very close to the simulation point. We show how the method works in a simple model with global symmetry: the three-dimensional XY model.

Real-space renormalization-group method for the ground-state properties of quantum lattice models

Sanjoy Kumar Sarker

A real-space renormalization-group transformation is constructed between blocks of linear dimensions $\mathrm{bL}$ and $L$ to study the ground-state properties of quantum lattice models. In this scheme it is possible (i) to estimate the errors due to the irrelevant variables, including boundary effects, and (ii) to test scaling explicitly, so that an accurate calculation can be performed over the entire range of the parameter space. Application to the one-dimensional Ising model in a tranverse field yields excellent results.

Tensor Renormalization Group Approach to Two-Dimensional Classical Lattice Models

Michael Levin, Cody P. Nave

We describe a simple real space renormalization group technique for two-dimensional classical lattice models. The approach is similar in spirit to block spin methods, but at the same time it is fundamentally based on the theory of quantum entanglement. In this sense, the technique can be thought of as a classical analogue of the density matrix renormalization group method. We demonstrate the method - which we call the tensor renormalization group method - by computing the magnetization of the triangular lattice Ising model.

Monte Carlo Renormalization-Group Transformations in Momentum Space

Robert H. Swendsen

Methods of extending Monte Carlo renormalization-group calculations to include transformations in momentum space are proposed to investigate systems for which block spins are difficult or impossible to construct---such systems include fluids, for which particles are not confined to a lattice, three-dimensional fcc antiferromagnets, and lattice gauge models in four dimensions. The feasibility of these transformations is demonstrated by calculations in two and three dimensions.

Renormalization group recursion without proliferation of terms in the one-band Hubbard model

Jesús Pérez-Conde

The real space renormalization group block method is analysed. The author deduces the conditions for avoiding the proliferation of couplings in a fermion system like the one-band Hubbard model. The author also extends the method for two and three dimensions.

Optimization of Real-Space Renormalization-Group Transformations

Robert H. Swendsen

A general method for optimizing real-space renormalization-group transformations is presented. It is applicable to both spin systems and lattice gauge theories, with use of Monte Carlo computer simulations. It provides substantial improvement in the convergence of critical exponents for the $d=3$ Ising model.
