Interacting Fermi liquid in three dimensions at finite temperature: Part I: Convergent Contributions

Margherita Disertori, J. Magnen, Vincent Rivasseau

Published Jan 1, 2008• 10 citations
OpenAlex

Abstract

In this paper we complete the first step, namely the uniform bound on completely convergent contributions, towards proving that a three dimensional interacting system of Fermions is a Fermi liquid in the sense of Salmhofer. The analysis relies on a direct space decomposition of the propagator, on a bosonic multiscale cluster expansion and on the Hadamard inequality, rather than on a Fermionic expansion and an angular analysis in momentum space, as was used in the recent proof by two of us of Salmhofer’s criterion in two dimensions.

The two dimensional Hubbard Model at half-filling: I. Convergent Contributions

Vincent Rivasseau

We prove analyticity theorems in the coupling constant for the Hubbard model at half-filling. The model in a single renormalization group slice of index $i$ is proved to be analytic in $λ$ for $|λ| \le c/i$ for some constant $c$, and the skeleton part of the model at temperature $T$ (the sum of all graphs without two point insertions) is proved to be analytic in $λ$ for $|λ| \le c/|\log T|^{2}$. These theorems are necessary steps towards proving that the Hubbard model at half-filling is {\it not} a Fermi liquid (in the mathematically precise sense of Salmhofer).

Rigorous Proof of Fermi Liquid Behavior for Jellium Two-Dimensional Interacting Fermions

Margherita Disertori, Vincent Rivasseau

Using the method of continuous constructive renormalization group around the Fermi surface, we prove that a jellium two-dimensional interacting system of fermions at low temperature T is analytic in the coupling constant lambda for |lambda| |logT|</=K, where K is some numerical constant and T is the temperature. In that range of parameters, the first and second derivatives of the self-energy remain bounded, a behavior seen in Fermi liquids but, in particular, not in Luttinger liquids. Our results also prove that in 2D any transition temperature must be nonperturbative in the coupling constant, a result expected on physical grounds. The proof exploits specific momentum conservation rules in two dimensions.

Bosonization of Fermi Liquids

Froehlich, Juerg, Roland Goetschmann

We consider systems of non-relativistic, interacting electrons at finite density and zero temperature in d = 2, 3, ... dimensions. Our main concern is to characterize those systems that, under the renormalization flow, are driven away from the Landau Fermi liquid (LFL) renormalization group fixed point. We are especially interested in understanding under what circumstances such a system is a Marginal Fermi liquid (MFL) when the dimension of space is greater or equal than 2 . The interacting electron system is analyzed by combining renormalization group (RG) methods with bosonization techniques. The RG calculations are organized as a double expansion in the inverse scale parameter, $λ^{-1} ,$ which is proportional to the width of the effective momentum space around the Fermi surface and in the running coupling constant, $ g_λ, $ which measures the strength of electron interactions at corresponding energy scales. Excluding a superconducting instability, the system can be analyzed by means of bosonization. The RG and the underlying perturbation expansion in powers of $ λ^{-1} $ serve to characterize the approximations involved by bosonizing the system. We argue that systems with short-range interactions flow to the LFL fixed point. Within the approximations involved by bosonization, the same holds for systems with long-range, longitudinal, density-density interactions. For electron systems interacting via long-range, transverse, current-current interactions a deviation from LFL behaviour is possible : the results of the bosonization calculation are consistent with a MFL, if the exponent parametrizing the singularity of the interaction potential in momentum space is greater than or equal to d-1.

Bosonization and fermion liquids in dimensions greater than one

A. Houghton, John Bradley Marston

We develop and describe new approaches to the problem of interacting fermions in spatial dimensions greater than 1. These approaches are based on generalizations of powerful tools previously applied to problems in one spatial dimension. We begin with a review of one-dimensional interacting fermions. We then introduce a simplified model in two spatial dimensions to study the role that spin and perfect nesting play in destabilizing fermion liquids. The complicated functional renormalization-group equations of the full problem are made tractable in our model by replacing the continuum of points that make up the closed Fermi line with four Fermi points. Despite this drastic approximation, the model exhibits physically reasonable behavior both at half-filling (where instabilities occur) and away from half-filling (where a Luttinger liquid arises). Next we implement the bosonization of higher-dimensional Fermi surfaces introduced by Luther and advocated most recently by Haldane. Bosonization incorporates the phase-space and small-angle scattering processes neglected in our model (but does not, as yet, address questions of stability). The charge sector is equivalent to an exactly solvable Gaussian quantum field theory; the spin sector, however, must be solved semiclassically. Using the Luther-Haldane approach we recover the collective mode equation of Fermi-liquid theory and in three dimensions reproduce the ${\mathit{T}}^{3}$ln(T) contribution to the specific heat due to small-angle scattering processes. We conclude with a discussion of our results and some speculation about future possibilities.

Coulomb interaction and the Fermi liquid state: solution by bosonization

A. Houghton, H. Dharma Kwon, John Bradley Marston +1 more

We investigate the effects of the Coulomb two-body interaction on Fermi liquids via bosonization in two and three spatial dimensions. The Coulomb interaction is singular in the limit of low momentum transfer, and recent interest in the possibility that some singular interactions might destroy the Fermi liquid state motivate us to reexamine it. We calculate the exact boson correlation function to show that the Fermi liquid state is retained in the case of Coulomb interactions in two and three dimensions. Spin and charge degrees of freedom propagate together at the same velocity and collective charge excitations (plasmons) exhibit the expected energy gap in three dimensions. Non-Fermi liquid behaviour occurs in two dimensions, however, for a super-long-range interaction studied recently by Bares and Wen.

We prove analyticity theorems in the coupling constant for the Hubbard model at half-filling. The model in a single renormalization group slice of index iii is proved to be analytic in λλλ for ∣λ∣≤c/i|λ| \le c/i∣λ∣≤c/i for some constant ccc, and the skeleton part of the model at temperature TTT (the sum of all graphs without two point insertions) is proved to be analytic in λλλ for ∣λ∣≤c/∣log⁡T∣2|λ| \le c/|\log T|^{2}∣λ∣≤c/∣logT∣2. These theorems are necessary steps towards proving that the Hubbard model at half-filling is {\it not} a Fermi liquid (in the mathematically precise sense of Salmhofer).
