Nonperturbative Renormalisation Group: Applications to the few and many-body systems

Published Sep 10, 2016• 0 citations

Abstract

Abstract. We consider the applications of functional renormalisation group to few and many-body systems. As an application to the few-body dynamics we study the ratio between the fermion-fermion scattering length and the dimer-dimer scattering length for systems of few nonrelativistic fermions. We find a strong dependence on the cutoff function used in the renormalisation flow for a two-body truncation of the action. Adding a simple three-body term substantially reduces this dependence. In the context of many-body physics we study the dynamics of both symmetric and asymmetric many-fermion systems using the same functional renormalisation technique. It is demonstrated that functional renormalisation group gives sensible and reliable results and provides a solid theoretical ground for the future studies. Open questions as well as lines of further developments are discussed. Nonperturbative or Exact Renormalisation Group (ERG) has become a popular tool to study strongly interacting dy-namics [1]. It has been used to study a variety of physical systems, from nonrelativistic two-body [2] and many-body [3] systems to effective quark models [4] and gauge theo-ries [5]. The main object of the ERG is the scale-dependent average effective action Γk, where k is an auxiliary running

Renormalization group, dimer-dimer scattering, and three-body forces

Boris Krippa, Niels R. Walet, Michael C. Birse

We study the ratio between the fermion-fermion scattering length and the dimer-dimer scattering length for systems of nonrelativistic fermions, using the same functional renormalization technique as previously applied to fermionic matter. We find a strong dependence on the cutoff function used in the renormalization flow for a two-body truncation of the action. Adding a simple three-body term substantially reduces this dependence.

Convergence of a renormalization-group approach to dimer-dimer scattering

Michael C. Birse, Boris Krippa, Niels R. Walet

We study the convergence of a functional renormalization group technique by looking at the ratio between the fermion-fermion scattering length and the dimer-dimer scattering length for a system of nonrelativistic fermions. We find that in a systematic expansion in powers of the fields there is a rapid convergence of the result that agrees with known exact results.

Functional renormalization group for two-body scattering

Michael C. Birse

The functional renormalization group is applied to the effective action for scattering of two nonrelativistic fermions. The resulting physical effective action is shown to contain the correct threshold singularity. The corresponding ``bare'' action respects Galilean invariance up to second order in momenta. Beyond that order it contains terms that violate this symmetry and, for the particular regulator considered, nonanalytic third-order terms. The corresponding potential can be expanded around a nontrivial fixed point using the power counting appropriate to a system with large scattering length.

Superfluidity in many fermion systems: Exact renormalisation group treatment

Boris Krippa

The application of the exact renormalisation group to symmetric as well as asymmetric many-fermion systems with a short-range attractive force is studied. Assuming an ansatz for the effective action with effective bosons, describing pairing effects a set of approximate flow equations for the effective coupling including boson and fermionic fluctuations has been derived. The phase transition to a phase with broken symmetry is found at a critical value of the running scale. The mean-field results are recovered if boson-loop effects are omitted. The calculations with two different forms of the regulator are shown to lead to a similar results. We find that, being quite small in the case of the symmetric many-fermion system the corrections to mean field approximation becomes more important with increasing mass asymmetry.

Functional renormalization group approach to correlated fermion systems

Walter Metzner, Manfred Salmhofer B, Carsten Honerkamp A +2 more

Numerous correlated electron systems exhibit a strongly scale-dependent behavior. Upon lowering the energy scale, collective phenomena, bound states, and new effective degrees of freedom emerge. Typical examples include (i) competing magnetic, charge, and pairing instabilities in two-dimensional electron systems; (ii) the interplay of electronic excitations and order parameter fluctuations near thermal and quantum phase transitions in metals; and (iii) correlation effects such as Luttinger liquid behavior and the Kondo effect showing up in linear and nonequilibrium transport through quantum wires and quantum dots. The functional renormalization group is a flexible and unbiased tool for dealing with such scale-dependent behavior. Its starting point is an exact functional flow equation, which yields the gradual evolution from a microscopic model action to the final effective action as a function of a continuously decreasing energy scale. Expanding in powers of the fields one obtains an exact hierarchy of flow equations for vertex functions. Truncations of this hierarchy have led to powerful new approximation schemes. This review is a comprehensive introduction to the functional renormalization group method for interacting Fermi systems. A self-contained derivation of the exact flow equations is presented and frequently used truncation schemes are described. Reviewing selected applications it is shown how approximations based on the functional renormalization group can be fruitfully used to improve our understanding of correlated fermion systems.
