4 Renormalization The functional RG method is a fundamental element of quantum field theory. The high energy (UV) action describes the small distance interaction between the elementary excitations. We look for the low energy IR (or large distance) behavior. The RG method gives a functional integro-differential equation for the effective action, which is called the Wetterich equation Γ k = 1 2 Tr Ṙ k R k +Γ k = 1 2, where = / ϕ, = / t, and the symbol Tr denotes the momentum integral and the summation over the internal indices. The IR regulator has the formrk [φ] = 1 2 φ R k φ. It is a momentum dependent mass like term, which serves as an IR cutoff. We use ( k R k = p 2 2) b. The functional form of the effective action is assumed to be similar to the microscopic action p 2 Γ k S k. Asymptotic safety in the sine Gordon model a p. 4
5 Gradient expansion The gradient expansion of the effective action is Γ k = d d x [ V k (φ)+ 1 ] 2 Z k(φ)( µ φ) 2 +H 1 (φ)( µ φ) 4 +H 2 (φ)( φ x ) The evolution equation for the potential is V k (φ) = 1 2 p Ṙ k p 2 Z k (φ,p 2 )+R k +V k (φ). The momentum dependent wave-function renormalization evolves as q 2 Ż k (φ,q 2 ) [ Ṙ 1 k 2 = q2 Z k (φ,q2 )+ 1 2 (P+p)2 Z k (φ,(p+p)2 )+ 1 2 p2 Z k (φ,p2 )+V k (φ)] 2 p [p 2 Z k (φ,p 2 )+R k +V k (φ)]2 [(P+p) 2 Z k (φ,(p+p) 2 )+R k,p+p +V k (φ)] k k R k [p 2 Z k (φ,p2 )+V k (φ)]2 1 k k R k 2 p p 2 Z k (φ,p 2 )+R k +V k (φ) q2 Z k (φ,q2 ) p [p 2 Z k (φ,p 2 )+R k +V k (φ)]2. Asymptotic safety in the sine Gordon model a p. 5
6 The 2d sine Gordon model Its effective action contains a sinusoidal potential of the form Γ k = [z ] 2 ( µφ) 2 +ucosφ, where z is the field independent wave-function renormalization and u is the coupling. The RG evolution equations for the couplings are u = 1 2 P 1 ż = 1 2 P 0 2 p p ṘG [ ( 2 Ṙ Z G 2 + [V 2 ( p 2P + 2 d p2 2 P + 8 d p2 V 2 p 2P 2 G 5 ] ) d Z 2 p 2 +4Z V G 3 ) + 4 ] d Z p 2 V p 2P G 4 with G = 1/(zp 2 +R+V ), P = zp 2 +R projections: P 1 = φ cos(φ)/π andp 0 = φ /2π Asymptotic safety in the sine Gordon model a p. 6
7 The 2d sine Gordon model Symmetries Z2 periodicity The conditions imply that the the effective (dimensionful) potential is zero. What does the RG method say? The linearized flow equation in LPA is ( denotes dimensionless quantities) ũ = ũ ( 2+ 1 ) +O(ũ 2 ), 4πz with any regulator. The equation can be solved analytically ( k ũ = ũ(k Λ ) k Λ The fixed point solution isũ = 0 and z arbitrary. ) 1 4πz 2. Asymptotic safety in the sine Gordon model a p. 7
8 The 2d sine Gordon model The SG model has two phases: 1 z 1 > 8π symmetric phase. The couplingũis irrelevant, the SG model is perturbatively nonrenormalizable < 8π (spontaneously) broken z 0.02 (symmetric) phase. The coupling ũ is relevant, the SG model is perturbatively 0 renormalizable 1/8πz How one can distinguish the phases in the model? The dimensionful coupling ũ tends to zero, but the dimensionless one does not. This idea can be generalized when we take into account the upper harmonics: ~ u symmetric phase: Ṽ k 0(φ) = broken phase: Ṽ k 0 (φ) = 2 ( 1) n+1cos(nφ) n=1 n 2 = 1 2 φ2, φ [ π,π] a concave function, which is repeated periodically in the field variable. Asymptotic safety in the sine Gordon model a p. 8
9 Local potential approximation The exact evolution equation is ũ = 2ũ+ 1 [1 ] 1 ũ 2, 2πũz with a constantz. The fixed points are = 1, when 0 < 1 z < 4π ( ũ 2 1 = 1 1 ) when 4π< 1 2πz 8πz z <8π ũ ũ = 0 when 1 z > 8π ~ u /8πz Coleman point: ũ = 0 andz c = 1 8π in the symmetric phase the irrelevant scaling makes the model perturbatively nonrenormalizable in the broken phase we have finite IR values for the coupling ũ Asymptotic safety in the sine Gordon model a p. 9
10 Wave-function renormalization The linearized RG equations are ũ = 2ũ+ 1 4πzũ, ż = ũ2 z 2 2/bc b, with c b = b 48π Γ( 3 2 ) ( b Γ 1+ 1 b The RG trajectories are hyperbolas ũ 2 = u ~ ). 0 2 (8π) 1 2/b c b ( z 1 ) 2 +ũ 2, 8π 1/8πz The correlation length ξ is identified ask c 1/ξ (singularity points). One obtains logξ π 8 c b 1 ũ +O(ũ ), furthermore ũ 2 = kt+o(t 2 ) where the reduced temperature ist z(λ) z s (Λ) (z s (Λ) is a point of the separatrix). We get logξ t ν with ν = 1 2 KT type phase transition Asymptotic safety in the sine Gordon model a p. 10
11 Wave-function renormalization 1 The exact RG equations are(b = 1) (2+k k )ũ = [1 ] 1 ũ πũz k k z = 1 ũ π (1 ũ 2 ) 3/2 0 There are seemingly no fixed points. u ~ /8πz Taylor expanding in ũ we get ũ = 0, z (line of fixed points). 1/z < 8π UV attractive 1/z > 8π IR attractive Rescaling equations with (ω = 1 ũ 2,χ = 1/zω and τ = ω 2 k k ) τ ω = 2ω(1 ω 2 ) ω2 χ 2π (1 ω), τ χ = χ 21 ω2 24π 2χ(1 ω2 )+ ωχ2 2π (1 ω). We got an IR attractive fixed point at ũ = 1, 1/z = 0. Asymptotic safety in the sine Gordon model a p. 11
12 Scheme dependence, IR divergences we introduce k = min(zp 2 +R) for the power law IR regulator R = p 2 (k 2 /p 2 ) b, with b 1 we can calculate k analytically the corresponding renormalization scale is ( ) z 1 1/b k 2 = bk 2 b 1 whenb = 1, then k = k we can remove the dimension of the couplingubyk or by k ũ = u k 2 and ū = ū k 2. Asymptotic safety in the sine Gordon model a p. 12
13 Scheme dependence, flow of the couplings ~ u k/k Λ z k/k Λ b = 2 the dashed (solid) lines represent the trajectories belonging to the (broken) symmetric phase, respectively, the wide line denotes the separatrix between the phases the couplingsũandz scales according to k α in the IR region (IR scaling regime exists) symmetric phase the coupling ũ tends to zero (α is negative andbdependent) z is constant (not plotted) LPA is a good approximation broken phase the coupling ũ diverges (α is positive andbdependent) z also diverges Asymptotic safety in the sine Gordon model a p. 13
14 Scheme dependence, IR divergences The flow of the couplings, singularities ~ u k - /k - Λ z k - /k - Λ b = 2 we changed the renormalization scale k to k the scaling in the symmetric phase does not change the couplingsũandz blows up in the broken phase whenb 1 then α, so we have a singular behavior Asymptotic safety in the sine Gordon model a p. 14

16 Massive sine-gordon model The potential has the form V = 1 2 m2 φ 2 +ucosφ. The MSG model has no periodicity. Under the mass scale the coupling scales asũ k 2 independently on the initial conditions. It implies that in LPA the effective potential has the same form. Then how can we distinguish the phases? We use the sensitivity matrix which is defined as the derivatives of the running coupling constants with respect to the bare one S n,m = g n(k) g m (k Λ ). It develops singularities when the UV and IR cutoffs are removed at the phase boundaries. symmetric phase: S1,1 k 2 broken phase: S1,1 = 0, since the RG evolution results in a universal effective potential in the IR limit. Asymptotic safety in the sine Gordon model a p. 16
17 The MSG model, evolution equations The evolution of the mass decouples fromũ. The RG equations are ũ = 2ũ+ 1 2πũz ż = 1 24π m 2 = 2 m 2. [ ] 1+ m 2 (1+ m 2 ) 2 ũ 2, ũ 2 ((1+ m 2 ) 2 ũ 2 ) 3/2, The last equation gives m 2 k 2, so the mass is a relevant coupling, furthermore we have no fixed points in the MSG model. IR limit the MSG model exhibits a second order phase transition: ξ t ν UV limit the mass can be neglected, so the model behaves as the SG model with an infinite order phase transition logξ t ν Asymptotic safety in the sine Gordon model a p. 17

19 Asymptotic safety 1.0 Rescaling: ω = 1 ũ 2, ζ = zω and τ = zω 2 k k τ ω = 2ζω(1 ω 2 ) ω2 2π (1 ω), ( τ ζ = 2ζ 2 ζ 24π ~ u 0.4 ) (1 ω 2 ) ωζ 2π (1 ω) /8πz New fixed point can found at z 0 and ũ 1. The fixed point is UV attractive. The fixed point of the 2d sine Gordon model ũ = 0, z (line of fixed points) 1/z < 8π UV attractive GFP 1/z > 8π IR attractive 1/z = 8π Coleman point ũ = 1, 1/z = 0 IR attractive ũ = 1, z = 0 UV attractive NGFP The model shows asymptotic freedom and asymptotic safety. Asymptotic safety in the sine Gordon model a p. 19
20 Asymptotic safety 1 1 both in the IR and in the UV limits we get ũ 1. when k 1 then z when k then z 0. The kinetic term tends to zero. Similar appears in the confining z 0.1 ~ u k mechanism The singularities shows up the limitation of the applicability of the models. New degrees of freedom appear. IR: low energy limit, condensate (classical physics?) UV: high energy limit, instead of vortices we have single spins around the UV NGFP we can also identify ξ = 1/kc and we get k logξ t ν ν = 1 2. KT type phase transition. It originates from the Coleman point. Asymptotic safety in the sine Gordon model a p. 20

23 The sine-gordon model with an irrelevant coupling The ZSG model is: ũ = 2ũ 1 [ ] Zy +1 1 ũ y [( Zy +1) 2 ũ 2 ] 1/2 [ ż = ũ2 (2 y Z +4 z1 y)( Zy +1) + y( y Z) 2 (4( Zy +1) 2 +ũ 2 ] ) 4 y [( Zy +1) 2 ũ 2 ] 5/2 [( Zy +1) 2 ũ 2 ] 7/2 z 1 = 2 z [ 24 z 1 ( Zy +1) 48 [( Zy +1) 2 ũ 2 ] 5/2 y + (72 z 1( y Z)y +6( y Z) z 2 1 y2 )(4(1+zy + z 1 y 2 ) 2 +ũ 2 ) [( Zy +1) 2 ũ 2 ] 7/2 + ( 36( y Z) 3 y 108z 1 ( y Z) 2 y 2 )( Zy +1)(4( Zy +1) 2 +3ũ 2 ) [( Zy +1) 2 ũ 2 ] 9/2 + (18( y Z) 4 y 2 )(8( Zy +1) 4 +12( Zy +1) 2 ũ 2 +ũ 4 ] ), [( Zy +1) 2 ũ 2 ] 11/2 with Z = zy + z 1 y 2. We numerically obtained that z 1 k 2, so it scales in an irrelevant manner. Asymptotic safety in the sine Gordon model a p. 23
24 The RG equations become singular if the denominator ( Zy +1) 2 ũ 2 = 0. when ũ 1 we have a singularity when z1 grows up faster than ũ then there is no singularity. ~ u ~ z /8 π z UV limit: it shows a second order (probably Ising type) phase transition we have two phases in the UV. the correlation length scales as ξ t ν, with ν = 1 4. IR limit: there is an infinite order phase transition (from the SG model) logξ t ν, with ν = 1 2. Asymptotic safety in the sine Gordon model a p. 24
25 Duality The UV and the IR limits of the SG model seems self dual if we use the transformations k 1 k z 1 z. The duality can be extended to the ZSG and to the MSG models, if z 1 m 2. The ZSG and the MSG models become a dual pair. model UV IR SG KT type, ν = 1/2 KT type, ν = 1/2 MSG KT type, ν = 1/2 Ising type, ν = 1/2 ZSG Ising type, ν = 1/4 KT type, ν = 1/2 Summary of the SG-type models and their fixed points.
