Irreducible Vertex Operator for Temperature 2τ and Real Time 2t Green's Functions 1. General Formalism

Wu Shi-Shu

Published Sep 1, 1988• 1 citation
Publisher

Abstract

A method is proposed for the derivation of the irreducible vertex operator for the temperature 2τ as well as the real time 2t Green function. Rigorous expressions are obtained and their usefulness is discussed. Furthermore, a preferable choice of single particle basis is suggested.

Properties of multi-particle Green's and vertex functions within Keldysh formalism

Severin G. Jakobs, Mikhail Pletyukhov, Herbert Schoeller

The increasing interest in nonequilibrium effects in condensed matter theory motivates the adaption of diverse equilibrium techniques to Keldysh formalism. For methods based on multi-particle Green's or vertex functions, this involves a detailed knowledge of the real-time properties of those functions. In this review, we derive general properties of fermionic and bosonic multi-particle Green's and vertex functions for a stationary state described within Keldysh formalism. Special emphasis is put on the analytic properties associated with causality and on a detailed discussion of the Kubo–Martin–Schwinger conditions which characterize thermal equilibrium. Finally we describe how diagrammatic approximations and approximations within the functional renormalization group approach respect these properties.

A hierarchy of equations for finite temperature Green functions

Colin John Lambert

Abstract Employing a new theorem on time ordered products of operators, an infinite hierarchy of equations for the finite temperature Green functions of a many particle system is obtained. The analysis provides a basis for the extension to finite temperatures of recent results from ground state perturbation theory. The connection between the present analysis and the corresponding ground state formalism is briefly discussed.

Green functions in the renormalized many-body perturbation theory

V. Janiš

I review the way the many-body Green functions are used to renormalize the perturbation theory of correlated fermions. The Green functions are introduced to implement systematically dynamical corrections to the static mean-field theory. The renormalizations enter the perturbation theory via self-consistent evaluations of one-particle and two-particle Green functions. The one-particle self-consistency is discussed within the Baym-Kadanoff construction. We point to an inherent dichotomy of the Baym-Kadanoff approach in the relation between one and two-particle Green functions. They are the Schwinger-Dyson equation, directly derived from the generating Luttinger-Ward functional, and the Ward identity. The latter imposes a severe restriction on the two-particle irreducible vertex and is not guaranteed in the Baym-Kadanoff approach. No approximate theory is capable to obey both relations. I further discuss the two-particle approach with two-particle renormalizations that offers a way to reconcile the Schwinger-Dyson equation and the Ward identity. The two-particle irreducible vertex from the critical Bethe-Salpeter equation becomes a generating functional in the two-particle renormalization of the perturbation theory. The irreducible vertex is used in the Ward identity to determine the order parameter beyond the critical point and in the Bethe-Salpeter equation representing the vertex of the Schwinger-Dyson equation to determine the spectral self-energy in such a way that the thermodynamic critical behavior from both equations is qualitatively the same. Finally, I discuss a static mean-field-like approximation with a renormalized effective interaction determined self-consistently that leads to a qualitatively correct description of strong electron correlations in impurity and lattice models.

On the vertex function method in the Tomonaga-Luttinger model

Marian Apostol

The Ward identities relating the three-point vertex functions to the single-particle Green functions as well as the generalised Ward identities between the four- and three-point vertex functions are derived analytically for the Tomonaga-Luttinger model by using explicitly the boson algebra of the particle-hole operators.

Methods of Dynamical Lie Algebra for Many Fermion Green Functions

Joseph L. Birman, A. I. Solomon

The Thermal Matsubara Green Functions, and their zero temperature analogs, in many-fermion systems are shown to be built up from products, or sums of products, of factors each of which is determined by a Lie Algebra. These factors are: the structure constants of a mapping φ of the B2N+1 Fermion Algebra (consisting of singles and pairs of fermion operators) onto itself; and the structure constants of a mapping φ′ of the D2N+1 Dynamical Algebra of the Hamiltonian (consisting of pairs of fermion operators) onto itself; and eigenvalues of the generators of the Abelian Cartan subalgebra. Eigenstates of the many-fermion Hamiltonian typically relate to different types or numbers of elementary excitations (quasi-particles); these states are shwon to be bases for irreducible representations of the Dynamical Algebra. The contribution of each such irreducible set of states to the Green Functions is exhibited. These results are exact for mean-field Hamiltonians; generalization to include effects of fluctuations may be possible. The Green Functions for a model BCS singlet superconductor are determined (Dynamical Algebra SU (2)) to illustrate the various steps in the analysis.
