Entanglement holographic mapping of many-body localized system by spectrum bifurcation renormalization group

Yi‐Zhuang You, Xiao-Liang Qi, Cenke Xu

We introduce the spectrum bifurcation renormalization group (SBRG) as an improved application of the excited-state real-space renormalization group (RSRG-X) for a class of qubit models. Starting from a disordered many-body Hamiltonian in the full many-body localized (MBL) phase, SBRG flows to the MBL fixed-point Hamiltonian, and generates the local integrals of motion and the matrix product state representations for all eigenstates. The method is applicable to many interacting spin and fermion models in the full MBL phase. As a Hilbert-space preserving RG, SBRG also generates an entanglement holographic mapping, which duals the MBL state to a fragmented holographic space.

Analytically Solvable Renormalization Group for the Many-Body Localization Transition

Anna Goremykina, Romain Vasseur, Maksym Serbyn

We introduce a simple, exactly solvable strong-randomness renormalization group (RG) model for the many-body localization (MBL) transition in one dimension. Our approach relies on a family of RG flows parametrized by the asymmetry between thermal and localized phases. We identify the physical MBL transition in the limit of maximal asymmetry, reflecting the instability of MBL against rare thermal inclusions. We find a critical point that is localized with power-law distributed thermal inclusions. The typical size of critical inclusions remains finite at the transition, while the average size is logarithmically diverging. We propose a two-parameter scaling theory for the many-body localization transition that falls into the Kosterlitz-Thouless universality class, with the MBL phase corresponding to a stable line of fixed points with multifractal behavior.
