Analytical Solutions of Exact Renormalization Group Equations

N. Tetradis, Daniel F. Litim, Oxford Ox Np

We study exact renormalization group equations in the framework of the effective average action. We present analytical solutions for the scale dependence of the potential in a variety of models. These solutions display a rich spectrum of physical behaviour such as fixed points governing the universal behaviour near second order phase transitions, critical exponents, first order transitions (some of which are radiatively induced) and tricritical behaviour. 1

Phase Transitions, Critical Phenomena, and Finite-Size Scaling

Hans-Peter Eckle

Abstract Interacting many-particle systems may undergo phase transitions and exhibit critical phenomena in the limit of infinite system size, while the precursors of these phenomena are studied in the theory of finite-size scaling. After surveying the basic notions of phases, phase diagrams, and phase transitions, this chapter focuses on critical behaviour at a second-order phase transition. The Landau-Ginzburg theory and the concept of scaling prepare readers for an elementary introduction to the concepts of the renormalization group, followed by an introduction into the field of quantum phase transitions where quantum fluctuations take over the role of thermal fluctuations.

Critical behaviour of theO(n)-ϕ4model with an antisymmetric tensor order parameter

N. V. Antonov, Mikhail Vladimirovich Kompaniets, N. M. Lebedev

Critical behaviour of the O(n)-symmetric $ϕ^{4}$-model with an antisymmetric tensor order parameter is studied by means of the field-theoretic renormalization group (RG) in the leading order of the $\varepsilon=4-d$-expansion (one-loop approximation). For $n=2$ and 3 the model is equivalent to the scalar and the O(3)-symmetric vector models, for $n\ge4$ it involves two independent interaction terms and two coupling constants. It is shown that for $n>4$ the RG equations have no infrared (IR) attractive fixed points and their solutions (RG flows) leave the stability region of the model. This means that fluctuations of the order parameter change the nature of the phase transition from the second-order type (suggested by the mean-field theory) to the first-order one. For $n=4$, the IR attractive fixed point exists and the IR behaviour is non-universal: if the coupling constants belong to the basin of attraction for the IR point, the phase transition is of the second order and the IR critical scaling regime realizes. The corresponding critical exponents $ν$ and $η$ are presented in the order $\varepsilon$ and $\varepsilon^{2}$, respectively. Otherwise the RG flows pass outside the stability region and the first-order transition takes place.

The second order phase transitions and critical phenomena

Critical behaviour of the O(n)-symmetric ϕ4ϕ^{4}ϕ4-model with an antisymmetric tensor order parameter is studied by means of the field-theoretic renormalization group (RG) in the leading order of the ε=4−d\varepsilon=4-dε=4−d-expansion (one-loop approximation). For n=2n=2n=2 and 3 the model is equivalent to the scalar and the O(3)-symmetric vector models, for n≥4n\ge4n≥4 it involves two independent interaction terms and two coupling constants. It is shown that for n>4n>4n>4 the RG equations have no infrared (IR) attractive fixed points and their solutions (RG flows) leave the stability region of the model. This means that fluctuations of the order parameter change the nature of the phase transition from the second-order type (suggested by the mean-field theory) to the first-order one. For n=4n=4n=4, the IR attractive fixed point exists and the IR behaviour is non-universal: if the coupling constants belong to the basin of attraction for the IR point, the phase transition is of the second order and the IR critical scaling regime realizes. The corresponding critical exponents ννν and ηηη are presented in the order ε\varepsilonε and ε2\varepsilon^{2}ε2, respectively. Otherwise the RG flows pass outside the stability region and the first-order transition takes place.
