Strongly correlated electrons: Dynamical vertex renormalization

Abstract

Single-band Hubbard model at criticality of the metal-insulator transition is studied using approximations derived from parquet theory. It is argued that only the electron-hole and interaction two-particle channels in the parquet algebra are relevant. A scheme is proposed how to reduce the parquet equations to a manageable form the complexity of which is comparable with single-channel approximations such as the renormalized RPA. The newly derived approximation, however, contains dynamical vertex corrections, remains self-consistent at the two-particle level and allows only for integrable singularities. A qualitatively new approach for studying two-particle singularities at zero temperature is obtained.

Stability of self-consistent solutions for the Hubbard model at intermediate and strong coupling

V. Janiš

We present a general framework for investigating the stability of solutions being a parquet-type extension of the Baym-Kadanoff construction of conserving approximations. To obtain a consistent description of one- and two-particle quantities, needed for the stability analysis, we use explicit equations for one- and two-particle Green functions simultaneously. We formulate a complete set of stability criteria and show that each instability, singularity in a two-particle function, is connected with a symmetry-breaking order parameter, either of density or anomalous type. We explicitly study the Hubbard model at intermediate coupling and demonstrate that approximations with static vertices become unstable with respect to spin flips, before the Mott-Hubbard metal-insulator transition in the paramagnetic phase or the Kondo strong-coupling regime can be reached. Further on, we use the parquet approximation and turn it into a workable scheme with dynamical vertex corrections. We obtain a theory with two-particle self-consistence, the complexity of which is comparable with fluctuation-exchange-type approximations. We show that it is the simplest consistent theory free of spurious phases being able to correctly describe qualitatively, quantum critical points and the transition from weak to strong coupling in correlated electron systems.

Two-particle level diagrammatic approaches for strongly correlated systems

Herbert F. Fotso

This thesis presents the development of new numerical methods for the treatment of strongly correlated electron systems based on self-consistent approaches at both the one and the two-particle level such as the parquet formalism. The parquet formalism was solved for the first time on a two-dimensional cluster. When the fully irreducible vertex is approximated by the bare vertex, we obtain the parquet approximation. Its validity was investigated by comparing results that it produces to those of other conserving approximations such as the FLuctuation EXchange (FLEX) approximation or the Second Order Perturbation Theory (SOPT). We found that it provides a significant improvement of FLEX or SOPT and a satisfactory agreement with Quantum Monte Carlo results despite instabilities in the self-consistency at low temperatures and for strong Coulomb interaction. We use the parquet formalism to study the Quantum Critical Point at finite doping in the Hubbard model by decomposing the vertex into its contributions from different channels. We apply this decomposition to the pairing channel and we find that the dominant contribution to the vertex originates in the spin channel even at the quantum critical doping. Furthermore, we explore the divergence of the two parts of the pairing matrix at optimal doping and observe that the irreducible vertex decreases monotonically as the doping is increased while the bare susceptibility exhibits an algebraic divergence at the quantum critical doping supporting the Quantum Critical BCS scenario proposed by She and Zaanen. To circumvent the instabilities in the iteration of the parquet formalism, we explored the dual fermion approach introduced by Rubtsov et al. Here, we extended the formalism to the Dynamical Cluster Approximation, in the process introducing a small parameter in the dual fermions perturbation theory. We demonstrate the quality of the resulting Dual Fermion DCA through a systematic study of the cluster size dependence and of the different perturbative approximations. These efforts represent the initial steps in the development of the Multi-Scale Many Body approach that appropriately treats correlations at different length scales.

The Hubbard model at intermediate coupling: renormalization of the interaction strength

V. Janiš

We analyse the behaviour of correlated electrons described by Hubbard-like models at intermediate coupling. We argue that with increasing interaction a pole in a generic two-particle Green function is approached. The pole signals condensation of electron-hole pairs and a metal-insulator transition at half-filling. The two-particle singularity calls for a sophisticated renormalization of the interaction strength. A self-consistent diagrammatic technique with renormalized two-particle Green functions is developed. The theory is based on a linked-cluster expansion for the thermodynamic potential with electron-electron interaction as the propagator. The simplest theory with full vertex renormalization, summing self-consistently multiple scatterings from two electron-hole channels, is proposed. We obtain an approximation with a generating functional in closed form enabling us to handle appropriately singularities in two-particle Green functions. The approximation is shown to be asymptotically exact in an external magnetic field close to the fully polarized ferromagnetic state at half-filling and zero temperature.

Multiorbital simplified parquet equations for strongly correlated electrons

Pavel Augustinský, V. Janiš

We extend an approximation that we developed earlier for the single-impurity Anderson model to a full-size impurity solver for models of interacting electrons with multiple orbitals. The approximation is based on parquet equations simplified by separating small and large energy fluctuations justified in the critical region of a pole in the two-particle vertex. We show that an $l$-orbital model with the most general interaction is described within this approximation by $4{l}^{2}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}4{l}^{2}$ matrices and is Fermi liquid in the metallic phase. We explicitly calculate properties of a paramagnetic solution of a two-orbital Hubbard model with a Hund exchange and orbital splitting within the dynamical mean-field approximation. We trace the genesis of a metal-insulator transition induced by a crystal field and vanishing of the Kondo quasiparticle peak in strongly correlated orbitally asymmetric systems.

Self-Consistent Fluctuation Theory for Strongly Correlated Electron Systems

Hiroaki Kusunose

A self-consistent theory for two-particle fluctuations with renormalized irreducible vertices is proposed. Using the Parquet formalism, we construct the fully antisymmetric full vertex in terms of the two-particle fluctuations in the charge, the spin and the particle-particle channels on an equal footing to satisfy the Pauli principle. The fluctuations are determined self-consistently, which are reflected into the one-particle self-energy via the Schwinger-Dyson equation. We demonstrate the application of the present theory to the impurity Anderson model and the Hubbard model on a square lattice mainly for the particle-hole symmetric case. In both models the vertex renormalization in the spin channel eliminates magnetic instabilities of mean-field theory to ensure the Mermin-Wagner theorem. The present theory gives the same critical exponents of the self-consistent renormalization theory in the quantum critical region.

Strongly correlated electrons: Analytic mean-field theories with two-particle self-consistency

V. Janiš, Peter Zalom, Vladislav Pokorný +1 more

A two-particle self-consistency is rarely part of mean-field theories. It is, however, essential for avoiding spurious critical transitions and unphysical behavior. We present a general scheme for constructing analytically controllable approximations with self-consistent equations for the two-particle vertices based on the parquet equations. We explain in detail how to reduce the full set of parquet equations so as not to miss quantum criticality in strong coupling. We further introduce a decoupling of convolutions of the dynamical variables in the Bethe-Salpeter equations to make them analytically solvable. We connect the self-energy with the two-particle vertices to satisfy the Ward identity and the Schwinger-Dyson equation and discuss the role of the one-particle self-consistency in making the approximations reliable in the whole spectrum of the input parameters. Finally, we demonstrate the general construction on the simplest static approximation that we apply to the Kondo behavior of the single-impurity Anderson model.
