Renormalization group for 2D fermions with a flat Fermi surface

We implement an explicit two-loop calculation of the coupling functions and the self-energy of interacting fermions with a two-dimensional flat Fermi surface in the framework of the field theoretical renormalization group (RG) approach. Throughout the calculation both the Fermi surface and the Fermi velocity are assumed to be fixed and unaffected by interactions. We show that in two dimensions, in a weak coupling regime, there is no significant change in the RG flow compared ...

In the present work, we implement an explicit two-loop renormalization of a two-dimensional flat Fermi surface (FS) in the framework of a field theoretical renormalization group approach (RG). In our scheme, we derive the RG equations for both the coupling functions and Fermi energy. In this way, we are able to probe the existence of spin-charge separation by showing that the low-energy sector of the system is in fact a non-Fermi liquid. In addition, associating the true inte...

Using perturbation theory and the field theoretical renormalization group approach we consider a two-dimensional anisotropic truncated Fermi Surface((FS) ) with both flat and curved sectors which approximately simulates the ``cold'' and ``hot'' spots in the cuprate superconductors. We calculate the one-particle two-loop irreducible functions (\Gamma ^{(2)}) and (\Gamma ^{(4)}) as well as the spin, the charge and pairing response functions up to one-loop order. We find non-tri...

We prove the convergence of the perturbative expansion, based on Renormalization Group, of the two point Schwinger function of a system of weakly interacting fermions in d=2, with symmetric Fermi surface and up to exponentially small temperatures, close to the expected onset of superconductivity

The weak coupling instabilities of a two dimensional Fermi system are investigated for the case of a square lattice using a Wilson renormalization group scheme to one loop order. We focus on a situation where the Fermi surface passes through two saddle points of the single particle dispersion. In the case of perfect nesting, the dominant instability is a spin density wave but d-wave superconductivity as well as charge or spin flux phases are also obtained in certain regions i...

We derive a differential equation for the one-particle-irreducible vertex functions of interacting fermions as a function of the temperature. Formally, these equations correspond to a Wilsonian renormalization group scheme which uses the temperature as an explicit scale parameter. Our novel method allows us to analyze the competition between superconducting and various magnetic Fermi surface instabilities in the one-loop approximation. In particular this includes ferromagneti...

We discuss the renormalization induced by interactions of a two-dimensional truncated Fermi surface (FS) model.Using a field theoretical renormalization group method we calculate the critical renormalized physical chemical potential. We show that it either vanishes or approaches a non-zero value. We argue that the vanishing of the chemical potential is indicative of a further truncation of the FS we started with and might well represent an insulating spin liquid phase.

This thesis is concerned with ground state properties of two-dimensional fermionic superfluids, in which fluctuation effects like the renormalization of the order parameter or infrared singularities are important. In the superfluid state, the fermionic two-particle vertex develops rich and singular dependences on momentum and frequency, for which an efficient parametrization in terms of boson-exchange interactions in the particle-hole and particle-particle channels is formula...

This is a companion paper to cond-mat/9907130. Using the method of continuous renormalization group around the Fermi surface and the results of cond-mat/9907130, we achieve the proof that a two-dimensional jellium interacting system of Fermions at low temperature T is a Fermi liquid (analytic in the coupling constant g) for g < const./|log T| and satisfying uniform bounds on the first and second derivatives of the selfenergy. This proves that in two dimensions the transition ...

We present a well-controlled perturbative renormalization group (RG) treatment of superconductivity from short-ranged repulsive interactions in a variety of model two dimensional electronic systems. Our analysis applies in the limit where the repulsive interactions between the electrons are small compared to their kinetic energy.
