1 Pairing in many-fermion systems: an exact-renormalisation-group treatment Michael C Birse, Judith A McGovern (University of Manchester) Boris Krippa, Niels R Walet (UMIST) Birse, Krippa, McGovern and Walet, hep-ph/ ERG method: Berges, Tetradis and Wetterich, hep-ph/ Delamotte, Mouhanna and Tissier, cond-mat/
2 Background Ideas of effective field theory and renormalisation group now well-developed for few-nucleon systems relyonseparationofscales RG can be used to derive power counting classify terms as perturbations around fixed point consistent extension of old ideas (effective-range expansion) Many unsuccessful attempts to extend to nuclear matter problem: noseparationofscales only consistent EFT so far: weakly repulsive Fermi gas [Hammer and Furnstahl, nucl-th/ ] (reproduces old results of Bishop and others) 2
3 Other EFT s for interacting Fermi systems exist: Landau Fermi liquid [Shankar], Ginsburg-Landau theory but parameters have no simple connection to underlying forces (like ChPT and QCD) Look for some more heuristic approach based on field theory can be matched onto EFT s for few-nucleon systems input from two-body (and three-body) systems in vacuum Try exact renormalisation group based on Wilsonian RG approach to field theories successfully applied to various systems in particle physics and condensed-matter physics [version due to Wetterich, Phys Lett B301 (1993) 90] 3
4 Outline ERG for the effective action Effective action for fermions with attraction Choice of regulator functions Evolution equations: general structure Driving terms in evolution equations Initial conditions Results 4
5 ERGfortheeffectiveaction For single real scalar field φ start from e iw [J] = Dφ e i(s[φ]+j φ 1 2 φ R φ) R(q, k): regulator function for the ERG suppresses contributions of modes with low momenta, q < k only modes with q > k integrated out W [J] evolves with regulator ( cut-off ) scale k becomes full generating function as k 0 Legendre transform effective action Γ[φ c ] (generator for 1PI diagrams) where expectation value of the field is δw δj φ c [See talks by: Furnstahl, Litim, Polonyi] 5
6 Effective action [convention as in: Weinberg, Quantum Theory of Fields II] Γ[φ c ]=W [J] J φ c φ c R φ c W evolves with scale k according to k W = 1 2 φ c k R φ c + i [ 2 Tr ( k R) δφ c δj ] Evolution of Γ[φ c ] J also runs if φ c is held constant φ c k R φ c terms cancel k Γ= i [ 2 Tr ( k R) δφ c δj ] 6
7 From definition of Γ δj δφ c = (Γ (2) R) where Γ (2) = δ2 Γ δφ c δφ c evolution equation for Γ in form of a one-loop integral k Γ= i 2 Tr [ ( k R)(Γ (2) R) 1] (Γ (2) R) 1 : propagator of boson in background field φ c One-loop structure: like RG for few-body systems can match ERG in matter onto interactions in vacuum [Polchinski s version of ERG: different structure see for example: Morris, hep-th/ ] 7
8 For a system of fermions as well as bosons k Γ = + i 2 Tr [ ( k R F ) ( (Γ (2) R) 1) FF i 2 Tr [ ( k R B ) ( (Γ (2) R) 1) BB ] ] System with charged condensates (pairing particle-hole mixing) write propagator for complex field as 2 2matrix(Nambu-Gor kov) factors of 1 2 still present 8
9 Regulator function and ansatz for Γ Regulator R(q, k): IR cut-off on effective action Γ should suppress contributions of modes with q < k should give back full effective action as k 0 R(q, k) should provide large mass/energy gap for modes with q < k and should vanish for q k and k 0 Derivative k R(q, k) in ERG equation peaks for q k tends to zero for q k acts as UV cut-off on loop integrals ERG: complicated differential equation for functional Γ need to choose an ansatz for effective action make an expansion in local terms (as in rigorous EFT s) use physics to guide choice 9
10 Effective action for fermions with attraction Attractive forces between fermions pairing [Furnstahl, Hands] weak attraction: Cooper pairs (BCS state) µ ɛ F strong attraction: Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) µ<0 Single species of nonrelativistic fermion: ψ (as in neutron matter) Boson field describing correlated fermion pairs: φ Finite density: chemical potential µ Ansatz for Γ: Γ[ψ, ψ,φ,φ,µ,k] = d 4 x [ φ (x) ( Z φ (i t +2µ)+ Z m +ψ ( Z ψ (i t + µ)+ Z M Z g g 2M 2 2m 2 ) ψ ( i 2 ψt σ 2 ψφ i 2 ψ σ 2 ψ T φ )] ) φ(x) U(φ, φ ) 10
11 Potential: Bosons carry twice charge of a fermion couple to chemical potential µ via quadratic term absorb into potential Ū = U 2µZ φ φ φ Expand potential about minimum φ φ = ρ 0 to quadratic order: Ū = u 0 + u 1 (φ φ ρ 0 )+ 1 2 u 2(φ φ ρ 0 ) 2 (one redundant parameter: ρ 0 or u 1 ) In symmetric phase: ρ 0 =0 In condensed phase: u n defined at minimum u 1 =0 11
12 In condensed phase with uniform background φ field: Particles and holes mix (ψ and ψ coupled) fermion spectrum with energy gap =g φ /Z φ E F (q) =± 1 (ZM ) 2 Z ψ 2M (q2 p 2 F ) + g 2 φ φ Bosons become gapless Goldstone modes spectrum (φ and φ also coupled) E B (q) =± 1 ( ) Zm Zm Z φ 2m q2 2m q2 +2u 2 φ φ superfluid state: BCS or BEC 12
13 Γ depends on cut-off scale k through running: coefficients in potential, u 0, u 1 (or ρ 0 ), u 2 wave-function renormalisation factors, Z φ, Z ψ mass renormalisations, Z M, Z m coupling constant renormalisation, Z g To study crossover from BCS pairing to BEC need to work at fixed density (otherwise can t get to negative µ for BEC) must allow µ to run with k ERG becomes a set of coupled first-order ODE s 13
14 Bare theory: at starting scale k = K two-body interaction between fermions only L int = 1 4 C ( 0 ψ σ 2 ψ T)( ψ T σ 2 ψ ) bosons just auxiliary fields (Hubbard-Stratonovich) C 0 (K) = g(k)2 u 1 (K) and Z φ,m (K) 1, u 2 (K) C 0 (separation of C 0 arbitrary results independent of g(k)) Fermions not dressed at k = K Z ψ (K) =Z M (K) =Z g (K) =1 Here (first study): allow only potential (u n, ρ 0 )andz φ to run independently freeze Z ψ = Z M = Z g =1and set Z m = Z φ or 1 14
15 Choice of regulator functions Nonrelativistic systems carry out loop integrals over energy exactly regulate only integrals over three-momentum Bosonic regulator: R B (q, k) = k2 2m f(q/k) where f(x) 1 as x 0 and f(x) 0 as x (and q = q ) Take R B (q, k) k 2 for q < k large-k behaviours of integrals reflect UV divergences Here: use smoothed step function [ ( 1 q + k f(q/k) = erf 2erf(1/σ) kσ σ: parameter controlling sharpness ) +erf ( q k kσ )] 15
16 Fermionic regulator: should be positive for particle states (q 2 /2M >µ) and negative for hole states (q 2 /2M <µ) (can t just add artificial gap term regulator must work in vacuum) Here: use R F (q, p F,k)=sgn(q p µ ) k2 ( ) q pf 2M f k p µ = 2Mµ: Fermi momentum corresponding to running µ p F =(3π 2 n) 1/3 : related to density n Symmetric phase: p F = p µ (until Z ψ,m run) Condensed phase: Fermi surface no longer at p F (not even well-defined for large gaps) but gap in fermion spectrum regulator no longer crucial 16
17 Evolution equations: general structure At present level of truncation (running u n, ρ 0 and Z φ only): all equations obtained from effective potential for uniform φ field evolves according to k Ū = 1 V 4 k Γ V 4 : volume of spacetime Write potential in terms of ρ = φ φ: Ū(ρ, µ, k) coefficients u n = n Ū ρ n ρ=ρ0 density and wave-function renormalisation n = Ū µ ρ=ρ0 Z φ = Ū ρ µ ρ=ρ0 17
18 All quantities defined at running minimum ρ = ρ 0 (k) extra implicit dependence on k in condensed phase evolution of u n at constant µ: k u n u n+1 k ρ 0 = n ( ρ n k Ū) ρ=ρ0 couples u 2 to u 3 : beyond current level of truncation Could simply set u 3 =0, but can do better: takeu 3 (k) from evolution with fermion loops only (can be solved analytically) approximation becomes exact if boson loops negligible 18
19 Evolution at constant density: Running µ(k) further implicit dependence on k Define total derivative d k = k +(d k µ) µ and apply to Ū/ µ evolution equation for density d k n 2Z φ d k ρ 0 + χd k µ = ( ) k Ū µ ρ=ρ0 where fermion-number susceptibility is χ = 2 Ū µ 2 ρ=ρ0 19
20 Keep n constant coupled equation for ρ 0 and µ 2Z φ d k ρ 0 + χd k µ = ( k Ū) µ ρ=ρ0 Symmetric phase: driving term on RHS vanishes and ρ 0 =0 evolution at constant n same as at constant µ much simpler set of evolution equations: ( k Ū) ρ=0 k u 1 = ρ k u 2 = 2 ( ) ρ 2 k Ū ρ=0 k Z φ = µ ρ ( k Ū ) ρ=0 20
21 Condensed phase: set of equations is ( k Ū) ρ=ρ0 u 2 d k ρ 0 +2Z φ d k µ = ρ d k u 2 u 3 d k ρ 0 +2Z φ d kµ = 2 ( ρ 2 k Ū) ρ=ρ0 d k Z φ Z φ d kρ χ d k µ = µ ρ ( k Ū) ρ=ρ0 Here Z φ = Ū ρ 2 χ = 3 Ū µ ρ=ρ0 µ 2 ρ like u 3 and χ: beyond current level of truncation replace by expressions from fermion loops only ρ=ρ0 21
22 Driving terms in evolution equations Right-hand sides of evolution equations all obtained from k Ū: sum of fermion and boson one-loop integrals Treat ψ and ψ as independent fields (also φ and φ ) 2 2 matrix structure for Gor kov propagators etc In presence of uniform φ field inverse fermion propagator Γ (2) FF R F = where ( Zψ q 0 E FR + iɛ sgn(q p µ ) igφσ 2 igφ σ 2 Z ψ q 0 + E FR iɛ sgn(q p µ ) E FR (q, p F,k)= 1 2M q2 µ + R F (q, p F,k)sgn(q p µ ) ) 22
23 Inverse boson propagtor ( Γ (2) BB R Zφ q B = 0 E BR + iɛ u 2 φφ u 2 φ φ Z φ q 0 E BR + iɛ where E BR (q, k) = Z m 2m q2 + u 1 + u 2 (2φ φ ρ 0 )+R B (q, k) ) Evaluating the loop integrals gives (after some work) k Ū = 1 V 4 k Γ = + 1 2Z φ d 3 q (2π) 3 where 2 = g 2 φ φ and V B = u 2 φ φ E FR E 2 FR + 2 sgn(q p µ) k R F d 3 q (2π) 3 E BR E 2 BR V 2 B k R B Derivatives of k Ū with respect to ρ = φ φ and µ driving terms 23
24 Initial conditions Run evolution down to k =0starting from some large scale k = K Initial conditions obtained by matching onto evolution in vacuum for k K fermion loops only can be integrated analytically to get u 1 (K) g 2 = M 4πa d 3 q (2π) 3 [ 1 E FR (q, 0, 0) 1 E FR (q, 0,K) since u 1 (0) related to physical scattering amplitude at threshold by ] T F = 4πa M = g2 u 1 (0) a: scattering length Both integrals diverge linearly on their own usual linear divergence in EFT s for two-body scattering difference linear in K (chose R F k 2 for large k K cut-off scale) 24
25 Need to be careful in matter: regulator shifted by Fermi surface acts like cut-off at K + p F for large K p F constant shift p F in linearly divergent integral define u 1 (K) for use in matter by u 1 (K) g 2 = M 4πa d 3 q (2π) 3 [ 1 E FR (q, 0, 0) sgn(q p F ) E FR (q, p F,K) like using regulator that interpolates smoothly between R F (q, p F,k) for k p F and R F (q, 0,k) for k < p F (Fermi sea in second term totally suppressed for K p F ) ] Other initial values: u 2 (K), Z φ (K) determined similarly (but p F -dependence suppressed by powers of p F /K) 25
26 Results Technique can be applied to many systems for definiteness start with parameters relevant to neutron matter: M =4.76 fm 1, p F =1.37 fm 1, a 1fm then explore wider range of values for p F a Results are independent of K for K > 4p F (provided we are careful to use shifted cut-off to define u 1 (K)) Also independent of width parameter σ in regulator functions Compare results with simpler approximation keeping fermion loops only mean-field approximation for bosons analytic results [Marani, Pistolesi and Strinati, cond-mat/ Papenbrock and Bertsch, nucl-th/ Babaev, cond-mat/ ] 26

30 Closer look at gap 2 1 / MF -1 (%) (p F a 0 ) -1 Fractional deviation of gap from analytic mean-field result : fermions only (numerical) : bosonic loops, Z φ =1 : full results 30
31 Comments In region of strong attraction contributions of boson loops to gap very small 1% enhancement of gap in large-p F a region effects on other quantities larger ( 10% in u 2 ) tendtocancelin But increasingly important for weaker couplings or lower densities Not able to get results for 1/(p F a 0 ) < 2 effective potential nonanalytic in φ for small gaps expansion of effective action breaks down For parameters corresponding to neutron matter gap comparable to ɛ F ( 30 MeV) more realistic treatments give 5MeV need to keep higher-order terms in effective-range expansion 31
32 Future work Long list of things to do including: Renormalisation of boson kinetic mass, Z m scaling analysis of boson loops for small gaps Complete analysis of current ansatz for Γ running of fermion renormalisation factors, Z ψ,m and Yukawa coupling, Z g Adding momentum-dependent interactions (effective range) more realistic interaction strength at Fermi surface Treating explicitly particle-hole channels (RPA phonons) important physics [Schwenk] remove Fierz ambiguity in bosonisation [Jaeckel and Wetterich, hep-ph/ ] Adding three-body forces 32
