1 Inverse square potential, scale anomaly, and complex extension Sergej Moroz Seattle, February 2010 Work in collaboration with Richard Schmidt ITP, Heidelberg
2 Outline Introduction and motivation Functional renormalization group and RG flow equation Complex extension and RG flows on the Riemann sphere Connection to large-flavor QCD
3 Introduction Inverse square potential is classically scale invariant V (r) = κ r 2 Classical scattering is well defined if b > κ E for κ > 0 otherwise fall to the center QM estimate: particle confined to a small ball of radius r 0 E 1 r 2 0 κ r 2 0 It is a border between regular and singular potentials
4 Introduction In QM a critical κ cr > 0 exists. For κ > κ cr the Hamiltonian is unbounded from below problems Effective 1D Schrödinger equation [ d2 dr κ ] ψ(r) = Eψ(r) E = σ 2 < 0 2 r 2 Solution, which is well-behaved as r ψ(r) = rk ν (σr) ν = 1/4 κ Ψ log r Ν 1 Ν 3i 0.02
5 Introduction In QM a critical κ cr > 0 exists. For κ > κ cr the Hamiltonian is unbounded from below problems Effective 1D Schrödinger equation [ d2 dr κ ] ψ(r) = Eψ(r) E = σ 2 < 0 2 r 2 Solution, which is well-behaved as r ψ(r) = rk ν (σr) ν = 1/4 κ Infinity of nodes infinity of bound states for κ > κ cr? Proper treatment: regularize around the origin and use RG A lot of previous RG studies Beane et al. 01, Bawin&Coon 03, Barford&Birse 03...
6 Motivation Efimov effect for three bosons interacting through a short range attractive potential Efimov At unitarity point effective 1D equation ] [ d2 dr s /4 ψ(r) = Eψ(r), s 2 r Experimentally observed in cold atoms Kraemer et al. 06,... A neutral polar molecule interacts with an electron via V ( r) cos θ r 2 can be reduced to the isotropic form Camblong et al. 01
7 Motivation Transition from the conformal (κ < κ cr ) to the nonconformal (κ > κ cr ) regime resembles the BKT phase transition in two dimensions Kaplan et al. 09 Scalar field near the Reissner-Nordström black hole background Camblong et al. 03 AdS/CFT correspondence: scalar field in the anti-de Sitter spacetime AdS d+1 rφ 2 d 1 r φ m2 r r φ 2 q2 φ = 0, q 2 = (q 0 ) 2 + q 2 after change of field φ = r (d 1)/2 ψ one gets rψ 2 + m2 + (d 2 1)/4 ψ = q 2 ψ r 2
8 Functional renormalization group Effective average action Γ k [φ] solves Wetterich 93 k Γ k [φ] = 1 2 Tr k R k Γ (2) k [φ] + R k RG flow in theory space Truncation needed to solve the flow equation
9 Model Our model in Euclidean QFT formulation Γ k [ψ, ψ ] = Q ψ (Q)[iω + q 2 ]ψ(q) κ F d (l)ψ (Q 1 )ψ(q 2 )ψ (Q 3 )ψ(q 4 )δ( Q 1 + Q 2 Q 3 + Q 4 ) Q 1,...,Q 4 λ ψ ψ (Q 1 )ψ(q 2 )ψ (Q 3 )ψ(q 4 )δ( Q 1 + Q 2 Q 3 + Q 4 ), 2 Q 1,...,Q 4 with the Fourier transform of 1/r 2 potential in d dim F d (l) = (4π)d/2 Γ(d/2 1) l 2 d 4 d > 2 λ is an emergent coupling generated by quantum loops We use sharp regulator ( ) R k (L) = (iω + l 2 1 ) θ(l 2 k 2 ) 1
10 Flow equation The propagator is not renormalized in the nonrelativistic vacuum The long-range potential coupling κ is not renormalized RG flow for the coupling λ λ is taken to be momentum-independent Flow equation for a rescaled dimensionless λ ψr ( t λ ψr = λ 2 ψr + 2κ ) d 2 + d 2 λ ψr κ2 (d 2) 2
11 Solution of the flow equation d dt λ ψr(t) = αλ ψr (t) 2 + βλ ψr (t) + γ The solution is determined by the sign of the discriminant D = β 2 4αγ Β function Λ ΨR Λ ΨR t κ < κ cr D > 0 two fixed points (CFT) κ = κ cr D = 0 single fixed point κ cr = (d 2)2 4 κ > κ cr D < 0 no fixed points (limit cycle)
12 Complex extension analytical treatment For a deeper mathematical understanding we perform a complex extension t λ = αλ 2 + βλ + γ The analytical solution is λ(t) = 1 2α λ λ 1 + iλ 2 { t λ 1 = αλ 2 1 αλ βλ 1 + γ t λ 2 = 2αλ 1 λ 2 + βλ 2 ( β D e Dt 2 Ce Dt 2 Dt e 2 + Ce Dt 2 C determines initial condition for λ in complex plane RG trajectories have a constant positive curvature )
13 Complex extension numerical treatment D > 0: two real fixed points with real eigenvalues λ 1 λ 2 Λ 1,Λ (A) t (B) Divergences are regularized metastable resonances Flow of the imaginary part determines the decay width
14 Complex extension numerical treatment D < 0: two complex fixed points with imaginary eigenvalues 3 2 λ 1 Λ 1,Λ (A) λ t (B) For D = 0 two fixed points merge Intuitive understanding of the transition
15 Complex extension physical motivation Partial wave expansion for a scattering amplitude f(p,θ) = l= (2l + 1)f l (p)p l (cos(θ)) l=0 For short-range forces s-wave dominates at low energies f 0 = 1 g 0 (p 2 ) ip 1 a 1 + 1r 2 effp 2 ip Complex scattering length a = α + iβ opens an inelastic scattering channel Bound states with finite decay width resonances
16 Riemann sphere The complex plane C can be extended by an additional point The extended complex plane is mapped onto the Riemann sphere via the stereographic projection Wikipedia
17 Flows on the Riemann sphere: D > 0 Two fixed point on the great real circle
18 Flows on the Riemann sphere: D < 0 Real flow forms an infinite limit cycle in the complex plane with periodic discontinuities On the Riemann sphere the flow periodically traverses the great real circle
19 Connection to large-flavor QCD FRG studies of conformal windows and chiral phase transition in many flavor massless QCD Gies, Jaeckel 06 RG β-functions of the fermionic self-interactions λ i at a fixed gauge coupling α β-function are similar to our problem However, gauge coupling α is running in QCD No limit cycles, but chiral symmetry breaking for α > α cr
20 Conclusions Nonrelativistic inverse square potential has different physical applications It is a paradigm for nonrelativistic conformal symmetry and scale anomaly It must be regularized at origin need for RG Complex extension provides a deeper mathematical understanding and is physically motivated Geometric description flows on the Riemann sphere More can be found in Annals of Physics 325, 491 (2010)

22 Functional renormalization group We use quantum field theory methods to investigate nonrelativistic 1/r 2 problem In quantum field theory in Euclidean formulation e W[J] = Dϕe S[ϕ]+ Jϕ From W[J] we can extract connected correlation functions scattering amplitudes, bound state energies However, the functional integral for W[J] is difficult to evaluate
23 Functional renormalization group Renormalization group idea- introduce regulator ( e Wk[J] = Dϕ exp S[ϕ] 1 ϕr k ϕ + 2 ) Jϕ and study sliding scale k dependence Effective average action Γ k [φ] is a Legandre transform of W k [J] Regulator R k introduces scheme dependence in the problem For k = 0 we recover the effective action Γ[φ] 1PI vertices correlation functions
