Unified static renormalization-group treatment of finite-temperature crossovers close to a quantum critical point

Maria Teresa Mercaldo, L. De Cesare, Ileana Rabuffo +1 more

A nonconventional renormalization-group (RG) treatment close to and below four dimensions is used to explore, in a unified and systematic way, the low-temperature properties of a wide class of systems in the influence domain of their quantum critical point. The approach consists in a preliminary averaging over quantum degrees of freedom and a successive employment of the Wilsonian RG transformation to treat the resulting effective classical Ginzburg-Landau free energy functional. This allows us to perform a detailed study of criticality of the quantum systems under study. The emergent physics agrees, in many aspects, with the known quantum critical scenario. However, a richer structure of the phase diagram appears with additional crossovers which are not captured by the traditional RG studies. In addition, in spite of the intrinsically static nature of our theory, predictions about the dynamical critical exponent, which parametrizes the link between statics and dynamics close to a continuous phase transition, are consistently derived from our static results.

Renormalization group and other calculations for the one-dimensional spin-1/2 dimerized Heisenberg antiferromagnet

J. N. Fields, Henk W. J. Blöte, J. C. Bonner

A zero-temperature renormalization group (RG) approach is applied to the one-dimensional, spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg dimerized (alternating) chain. Specifically, the ground state energy and lowest-lying spectral excitations are examined. The calculation indicates the existence of a gap in the spectrum of the dimerized chain which vanishes only in the limit of a uniform spin chain, in contrast to a recent Green’s function approach. The RG results are in reasonable agreement with numerical extrapolations on the exact eigenvalue spectrum of finite chains of up to 12 spins. Both methods are compared with several other approximate treatments of the Heisenberg system, and tested by comparison with exact results for the spin-1/2 XY dimerized chain.
