Abstract

We present a new method for the numerical calculation of the equilibrium crystal shape around a facet. Our method is based on the transfer matrix method with the product-wave-function renormalization group (PWFRG) algorithm for the asymmetric density matrix, which is an extension of the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) algorithm. By applying this method to the staggered body-centered-cubic solid-on-solid model, which is known to exhibit the inverse roughening phenomena, we obtain the facet shape, shape exponents, and step tension.

Product Wave Function Renormalization Group: Construction from the Matrix Product Point of View

We present a construction of a matrix product state (MPS) that approximates the largest-eigenvalue eigenvector of a transfer matrix T, for the purpose of rapidly performing the infinite system density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method applied to two-dimensional classical lattice models. We use the fact that the largest-eigenvalue eigenvector of T can be approximated by a state vector created from the upper or lower half of a finite size cluster. Decomposition of the obtained state vector into the MPS gives a way of extending the MPS, at the system size increment process in the infinite system DMRG algorithm. As a result, we successfully give the physical interpretation of the product wave function renormalization group (PWFRG) method, and obtain its appropriate initial condition.

Product Wave Function Renormalization Group

Tomotoshi Nishino, Kouichi Okunishi

The authors propose a fast numerical renormalization group method --- the product wave function renormalization group (PWFRG) method --- for 1D quantum lattice models and 2D classical ones. A variational wave function, which is expressed by a matrix product, is improved through a self-consistent calculation. The new method has the same fixed point as the density matrix renormalization group method.

Density Matrix Renormalization Group Method for 2D Classical Models

Tomotoshi Nishino

The density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method is applied to the interaction round a face (IRF) model. When the transfer matrix is asymmetric, singular-value decomposition of the density matrix is required. A trial numerical calculation is performed on the square lattice Ising model, which is a special case of the IRF model.

Application of the Density Matrix Renormalization Group Method to a Non-Equilibrium Problem

Yasuhiro Hieida

We apply the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method to a non-equilibrium problem: the asymmetric exclusion process in one dimension. We study the stationary state of the process to calculate the particle density profile (one-point function). We show that, even with a small number of retained bases, the DMRG calculation is in excellent agreement with the exact solution obtained by the matrix-product-ansatz approach.

Density Matrix Renormalization Group Algorithm for non-Hermitian Systems

Peigeng Zhong, Wei Pan, Hai‐Qing Lin +2 more

A biorthonormal-block density-matrix renormalization group algorithm is proposed to accurately compute properties of large-scale non-Hermitian many-body systems, in which a renormalized-space partition of the non-Hermitian reduced density matrix is implemented to fulfill the prerequisite for the biorthonormality of the renormalization group (RG) transformation and to optimize the construction of saved Hilbert spaces. A redundancy in saved spaces of the reduced density matrix is exploited to reduce a condition number resulting from the nonunitarity of the left and right transformation matrices, in order to ensure the numerical stability of the RG procedure. The algorithm is successfully applied to an interacting fermionic Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model with nonreciprocal hoppings and staggered complex chemical potential, exhibiting novel many-body phenomena.

Two-Dimensional Tensor Product Variational Formulation

T. Nishino, Y. Hieida, K. Okunishi +3 more

We propose a numerical self-consistent method for 3D classical lattice models, which optimizes the variational state written as a two-dimensional product of tensors. The variational partition function is calculated using the corner transfer matrix renormalization group (CTMRG), which is a variant of the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG). The numerical efficiency of the method is exemplified in its application to the 3D Ising model.
