Functional renormalization group without functional integrals: Implementing Hilbert space projections for strongly correlated electrons via Hubbard X-operators
Andreas Rückriegel, Jonas Arnold, Rüdiger Krämer +1 more
The authors show here that exact functional renormalization group flow (FRG) equations for quantum systems can be derived directly within an operator formalism without using functional integrals. This simple insight opens new possibilities for applying FRG methods to models for strongly correlated electrons with projected Hilbert spaces, such as quantum spin models, the $t$-$J$ model, or the Hubbard model at infinite on-site repulsion. By representing these models in terms of Hubbard X-operators, various applications of this approach are explored.
