Mean-field renormalization-group approach to the boson Hubbard model

Abstract

We study the phase diagram of the boson Hubbard model at $T=0$ without disorder in a one-site and a two-site mean-field approximations. The two-site mean-field significantly improves the results compared to ordinary mean-field solutions and allows to use a simple scheme of mean-field renormalization group (MFRG). Some results obtained with MFRG are even better including the critical exponents for the density-driven transition between the Mott insulator and superfluid phases. However, when we evaluate critical exponents for transitions through the tip of the insulating lobes (special transitions without density change), we get similar exponents indicating that the MFRG apparently does not distinguish between both type of transitions and places them in the same universality class. The results for the first insulating lobe in $d=1$ and $d=2$ are in good agreement with a perturbative method and with the more reliable quantum Monte Carlo results. Our MFRG method provides analytical results for any lobe in any dimension and can be systematically improved if we consider larger clusters.

Nonperturbative renormalization group approach to the Bose-Hubbard model

Adam Rançon, N. Dupuis

We present a nonperturbative renormalization group (RG) approach to the Bose-Hubbard model. By taking as initial condition of the RG flow the (local) limit of decoupled sites, we take into account both local and long-distance fluctuations in a nontrivial way. This approach yields a phase diagram in very good quantitative agreement with the quantum Monte Carlo results and reproduces the two universality classes of the superfluid--Mott-insulator transition with a good estimate of the critical exponents. Furthermore, it reveals the crucial role of the ``Ginzburg length'' as a crossover length between a weakly and a strongly correlated superfluid phase.

Strongly-correlated superfluid near the Mott transition

Nonperturbative renormalization group approach to strongly correlated lattice bosons

Adam Rançon, N. Dupuis

We present a nonperturbative renormalization-group approach to the Bose-Hubbard model. By taking as initial condition of the renormalization-group flow the (local) limit of decoupled sites, we take into account both local and long-distance fluctuations in a nontrivial way. This approach yields a phase diagram in very good quantitative agreement with quantum Monte Carlo simulations, and reproduces the two universality classes of the superfluid-Mott-insulator transition. The critical behavior near the multicritical points, where the transition takes place at constant density, agrees with the original predictions of Fisher et al. [Phys. Rev. B 40, 546 (1989)] based on simple scaling arguments. At a generic transition point, the critical behavior is mean-field like with logarithmic corrections in two dimensions. In the weakly correlated superfluid phase (far away from the Mott insulating phase), the renormalization-group flow is controlled by the Bogoliubov fixed point down to a characteristic (Ginzburg) momentum scale ${k}_{G}$, which is much smaller than the inverse healing length ${k}_{h}$. In the vicinity of the multicritical points, when the density is commensurate, we identify a sharp crossover from a weakly to a strongly correlated superfluid phase where the condensate density and the superfluid stiffness are strongly suppressed and both ${k}_{G}$ and ${k}_{h}$ are of the order of the inverse lattice spacing.

Phases, transitions, and patterns in the one-dimensional Extended Bose-Hubbard model

Jamshid Moradi Kurdestany, Ramesh V. Pai, Subroto Mukerjee +1 more

We carry out an extensive study of the phase diagram of the extended Bose Hubbard model, with a mean filling of one boson per site, in one dimension by using the density matrix renormalization group and show that it can have Superfluid (SF), Mott-insulator (MI), density-wave (DW) and Haldane-insulator (HI) phases depending on the precise value of filling and how edge states are handled. We show that the critical exponents and central charge for the HI-DW, MI-HI and SF-MI transitions are consistent with those for models in the two-dimensional Ising, Gaussian, and Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) universality classes, respectively; and we suggest that the SF-HI transition may be more exotic than a simple BKT transition.

Phases, transitions, and boundary conditions in a model of interacting bosons

We carry out an extensive study of the phase diagrams of the extended Bose Hubbard model, with a mean filling of one boson per site, in one dimension by using the density matrix renormalization group and show that it contains Superfluid (SF), Mott-insulator (MI), density-wave (DW) and Haldane-insulator (HI) phases. We show that the critical exponents and central charges for the HI-DW, MI-HI and SF-MI transitions are consistent with those for models in the two-dimensional Ising, Gaussian, and Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) universality classes, respectively; and we suggest that the SF-HI transition may be more exotic than a simple BKT transition. We show explicitly that different boundary conditions lead to different phase diagrams.

Cluster Mean-Field Approach with Density Matrix Renormalization Group: Application to the Hard-Core Bosonic Hubbard Model on a Triangular Lattice

Ryota Suzuki, Akihisa Koga

We introduce a new numerical method for the solution of self-consistent equations in the cluster mean-field theory. The method uses the density matrix renormalization group method to solve the associated cluster problem. We obtain an accurate critical value of the supersolid-superfluid transitions in the hard-core bosonic Hubbard model on a triangular lattice, which is comparable with the recent quantum Monte Carlo results. This algorithm is applicable to more general classes of models with a larger number of degrees of freedom.
