Abstract

It was a difficult problem to determine the Gaussian fixed line from the numerical data, because close to the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless multicritical point the divergence of the correlation length becomes very slow. Considering the renormalization group behavior, we find an efficient method to determine the Gaussian fixed line.

BKT transition and level spectroscopy

K. Nomura, Atsuhiro Kitazawa

Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition is one of the instability mechanisms for the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid. But in the BKT transition, there are logarithmic-correction problems, which make it very difficult to treat BKT transitions numerically. We propose a method, ``level spectroscopy'', to overcome such difficulties, based on the renormalization group analysis and the symmetry consideration.

Monte Carlo renormalization-group study of the discrete Gaussian model

Katherine J. Strandburg

A simple Monte Carlo renormalization-group matching procedure is applied to the discrete Gaussian model on a triangular lattice. The line of fixed points at high temperatures is observed. The roughening temperature found is in good agreement with that found using methods which assume the validity of the Kosterlitz-Thouless theory.

Level Spectroscopy: Physical Meaning and Application to the Magnetization Plateau Problems

Kiyomi Okamoto

We review the level spectroscopy, which is a powerful method of analyzing the numerical data with respect to the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless quantum phase transition in one dimension. We focus mainly on its physical meaning and also its application to the magnetization plateau problems.

Emergent Supersymmetry at the Ising–Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless Multicritical Point

Liza Huijse, Bela Bauer, Erez Berg

We show that supersymmetry emerges in a large class of models in 1+1 dimensions with both Z_{2} and U(1) symmetry at the multicritical point where the Ising and Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transitions coincide. To arrive at this result we perform a detailed renormalization group analysis of the multicritical theory including all perturbations allowed by symmetry. This analysis reveals an intricate flow with a marginally irrelevant direction that preserves part of the supersymmetry of the fixed point. The slow flow along this special line has significant consequences on the physics of the multicritical point. In particular, we show that the scaling of the U(1) gap away from the multicritical point is different from the usual Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless exponential gap scaling.

Nonlinear renormalization groups

Thomas L. Bell, Kenneth Geddes Wilson

Most renormalization groups studied heretofore are linear, in that the block-spin variables are linearly related to the old spin variables. These renormalization groups all require an adjustable parameter that must be properly fixed in order that the renormalization-group transformation have a useful fixed point. Niemeijer and van Leeuwen, however, have investigated the critical behavior of the two-dimensional Ising model with a nonlinear renormalization group, and find a fixed point without introducing such a parameter. We introduce here another nonlinear renormalization group and study it in detail for the Gaussian model. We find that (i) within certain limits, no such parameter need be adjusted in order to reach a fixed point; (ii) an eigenvalue of the linearized transformation with no physical significance depends on the nonlinearity of the transformation; and (iii) a physically significant eigenvalue is unchanged (to the order examined).
