Spontaneous symmetry breaking in the finite lattice quantum sine-Gordon model

S. G. Chung

The spontaneous breaking of a global discrete translational symmetry in the finite lattice quantum sine-Gordon model is demonstrated by a density matrix renormalization group. A phase diagram in the coupling constant-inverse system size plane is obtained. Comparison of the phase diagram with a Woomany-Wyld finite-size scaling leads to an identification of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition in the quantum sine-Gordon model as the spontaneous symmetry breaking.

Symmetries and Phase Structure of the Layered Sine-Gordon Model

I. Nándori

Abstract. The phase structure of the layered sine-Gordon (LSG) model is investigated in terms of symmetry considerations by means of differential renormalization group (RG) method using the local potential approximation. The RG analysis of the general N-layer model provides us with the possibility to consider the dependence of the vortex dynamics on the number of layers. The Lagrangians are distinguished according to the number of zero eigenvalues of their mass matrices where the number is found to be decisive with respect to the phase structure of the N-layer models, with neighbouring layers being coupled by terms quadratic in the field variables. It is shown that the LSG model with N layers undergoes a Kosterlitz–Thouless type phase transition at the critical value of the parameter β2 c = 8Nπ. In the limit of infinitely many layers the LSG model can be considered as the discretized version of the three-dimensional sine-Gordon model which has been shown to have a single phase within the local potential approximation. The infinite critical value of the parameter β2 c for the LSG model in the continuum limit (N → ∞) is consistent with the latter observation. PACS numbers: 11.10.Hi,11.10.Gh,11.10.Kk

Functional Renormalization Group Approach to the Sine-Gordon Model

S. Nagy, I. Nándori, János Polonyi +1 more

The renormalization group flow is presented for the two-dimensional sine-Gordon model within the framework of the functional renormalization group method by including the wave-function renormalization constant. The Kosterlitz-Thouless-Berezinski type phase structure is recovered as the interpolating scaling law between two competing IR attractive area of the global renormalization group flow.

Numerical simulations of the random phase sine–Gordon model and renormalization group predictions

David Lancaster, Juan Jesus Ruiz-Lorenzo

Numerical simulations of the random phase sine–Gordon model suffer from strong finite size effects preventing the non-Gaussian log 2 r component of the spatial correlator from following the universal infinite volume prediction. We show that a finite size prediction based on perturbative renormalization group (RG) arguments agrees well with new high precision simulations for small coupling and close to the critical temperature.

A Self-Consistent Treatment of the Kosterlitz-Thouless Transition of the Two-Dimensional Classical Sine-Gordon Model

T. Sakaguchi, Tsuguhiro Tamaribuchi, Satoshi Takada

The two-dimensional classical sine-Gordon model is investigated by using a two-parameter self-consistent renormalization method up to second order of renormalized vertices, where coupled self-consistent equations for renormalized mass m and renormalized temperature x are obtained. In high temperature region (x > 2), the self-consistent equations have a massless solution which stands for the existence of the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase, and lead to an equation for x which is the same as that given by José et al. and is consistent with the result of Wilson's renormalization group method. In low temperature region (x < 2), numerical calculation is carried out, and it is shown that the system is well described by the self-consistent harmonic approximation, which is a one-parameter (m) renormalization treatment, except near x = 2. Near x ≲ 2 our self-consistent equations have no solution, through this can be partly remedied by counting chain diagrams.

Phase transitions in integrable systems

S. V. Kryukov

We investigate quantum integrals of motion in the sine-Gordon, Zhiber-Shabat and similar systems. When the coupling constants in these models take special values a new quantum symmetry appears. In those cases, correlation functions can be obtained, and they have a power law behavior.
