Non-Perturbative Renormalization Group calculation of the transition temperature of the weakly interacting Bose gas

Abstract

We present a new approximation scheme to solve the Non-Perturbative Renormalization Group equations and obtain the full momentum dependence of n -point functions. The core of the method consists in deriving approximate flow equations that are then solved exactly. The results thus obtained can next be improved through an iteration procedure. The approximations proposed in this paper lead to approximate equations that are accurate both in the perturbative and the scaling regimes. The scheme is tested with the calculation of the shift Δ T c in the transition temperature of the weakly repulsive Bose gas, a quantity which is very sensitive to all momentum scales. The leading-order result is in agreement with lattice calculations, albeit with a theoretical uncertainty of about 25%. The next-to-leading order differs by about 10% from the best accepted result.

Nonperturbative renormalization group and momentum dependence of n -point functions. I

Jean-Paul Blaizot, Ramón Méndez-Galain, Nicolás Wschebor

We present an approximation scheme to solve the nonperturbative renormalization group equations and obtain the full momentum dependence of the n-point functions. It is based on an iterative procedure where, in a first step, an initial ansatz for the n-point functions is constructed by solving approximate flow equations derived from well motivated approximations. These approximations exploit the derivative expansion and the decoupling of high momentum modes. The method is applied to the O(N) model. In leading order, the self-energy is already accurate both in the perturbative and the scaling regimes. A stringent test is provided by the calculation of the shift DeltaTc in the transition temperature of the weakly repulsive Bose gas, a quantity which is particularly sensitive to all momentum scales. The leading order result is in agreement with lattice calculations, albeit with a theoretical uncertainty of about 25%.

Nonperturbative renormalization group and momentum dependence of n -point functions. II

Jean-Paul Blaizot, Ramón Méndez-Galain, Nicolás Wschebor

In a companion paper [Blaizot, Phys. Rev. E 74, 051116 (2006)], we have presented an approximation scheme to solve the nonperturbative renormalization group equations that allows the calculation of the n-point functions for arbitrary values of the external momenta. The method was applied in its leading order to the calculation of the self-energy of the O(N) model in the critical regime. The purpose of the present paper is to extend this study to the next-to-leading order of the approximation scheme. This involves the calculation of the four-point function at leading order, where interesting features arise, related to the occurrence of exceptional configurations of momenta in the flow equations. These require a special treatment, inviting us to improve the straightforward iteration scheme that we originally proposed. The final result for the self-energy at next-to-leading order exhibits a remarkable improvement as compared to the leading order calculation. This is demonstrated by the calculation of the shift DeltaTc, caused by weak interactions, in the temperature of Bose-Einstein condensation. This quantity depends on the self-energy at all momentum scales and can be used as a benchmark of the approximation. The improved next-to-leading order calculation of the self-energy presented in this paper leads to excellent agreement with lattice data and is within 4% of the exact large N result.

Functional renormalization group approach to the two dimensional Bose gas

Andreas Sinner, N. Hasselmann, Peter Kopietz

We investigate the small frequency and momentum structure of the weakly interacting Bose gas in two dimensions using a functional renormalization group approach. The flow equations are derived within a derivative approximation of the effective action up to second order in spatial and temporal variables and investigated numerically. The truncation we employ is based on the perturbative structure of the theory and is well described as a renormalization group enhanced perturbation theory. It allows to calculate corrections to the Bogoliubov spectrum and to investigate the damping of quasiparticles. Our approach allows to circumvent the divergences which plague the usual perturbative approach.

Solutions of renormalization-group flow equations with full momentum dependence

Federico Benitez, Jean-Paul Blaizot, Hugues Chaté +3 more

We demonstrate the power of a recently proposed approximation scheme for the nonperturbative renormalization group that gives access to correlation functions over their full momentum range. We solve numerically the leading-order flow equations obtained within this scheme and compute the two-point functions of the O(N) theories at criticality, in two and three dimensions. Excellent results are obtained for both universal and nonuniversal quantities at modest numerical cost.

Exact renormalization group calculation of the shift in T_c for the weakly interacting Bose gas

Jean-Paul Blaizot, Ramón Méndez-Galain, Nicolás Wschebor

This paper has been withdrawn by the authors. We have discovered an error in our estimate of c, leading to a larger discrepancy with the exact result. This prevents us to judge the quality of the approximation from its leading order prediction, and we withdraw the paper until we have completed the next to leading order calculation

Condensation temperature of interacting Bose gases with and without disorder

O. Zobay

The momentum-shell renormalization group (RG) is used to study the condensation of interacting Bose gases without and with disorder. First of all, for the homogeneous disorder-free Bose gas the interaction-induced shifts in the critical temperature and chemical potential are determined up to second order in the scattering length. The approach does not make use of dimensional reduction and is thus independent of previous derivations. Secondly, the RG is used together with the replica method to study the interacting Bose gas with delta-correlated disorder. The flow equations are derived and found to reduce, in the high-temperature limit, to the RG equations of the classical Landau-Ginzburg model with random-exchange defects. The random fixed point is used to calculate the condensation temperature under the combined influence of particle interactions and disorder.
