1 BOLD DIAGRAMMATIC MONTE CARLO: From polarons to path- integrals to skeleton Feynman diagrams Nikolay Prokofiev, Umass, Amherst Tallahassee, NHMFL (January 2012)

2 High-energy Standard model physics High-Tc Hubbard superconductors model Quantum chemistry Coulomb & gas band structure Quantum Heisenberg magnetism model Periodic Anderson Heavy fermion & Kondo materials lattice models - Introduced in mid 1960s or earlier - Still not solved (just a reminder, today is 01/13/2012) - Admit description in terms of Feynman diagrams

3 Feynman Diagrams & Physics of strongly correlated many- body systems In the absence of small parameters, are they useful in higher orders? N.Abel, Yes, 1828: with sign-blessing Divergent for regularized series are skeleton the devil's graphs! invention... And if they are, how to handle millions and billions of skeleton graphs? Steven Sample Weinberg, them Physics with Today, Diagrammatic Aug Monte : Also, Carlo it was techniques easy to imagine (teach computers rules of quantum any number field theory) of quantum field theories of strong interactions but what could anyone do with From current strong-coupling Unbiased them? solutions beased theories based on one lowest on millions of graphs with order skeleton graph (MF, extrapolation to the infinite RPA, GW, SCBA, GG 0, GG, diagram order

4 Answering Weinberg s question: Equation of State for ultracold fermions & neutron matter at unitarity MIT group: MrRn Zwierlein, Mark Ku, Ariel Sommer, Lawrence Cheuk, Andre Schirotzek BDMC results Kris Van Houcke, Felix Werner, Evgeny Kozik, Boris Svistunov, NP Uncertainty due to locaron of the a resonance B 834 ± 1.5 G s virial expansion (3d order) Ideal Fermi gas QMC for connected Feynman diagrams NOT particles! Sign blessing Sign problem

5 Conventional Sign-problem vs Sign-blessing Sign-problem: (diagrams for Z ) Computational complexity is exponential in system volume tcpu exp{# L d β} exptrapolation to L and error bars explode before a reliable can be made Feynamn diagrams: No (for ln Z ) L limit to take, selfconsistent formulation, admit analytic results and partial resummations. n 3/2 n!2 n n Sign-blessing: Number of diagram of order is factorial thus the (diagrams for ln Z ) only hope for good series convergence properties is sign alter- nation of diagrams leading to their cancellation. Still, t n!2 n n CPU 3/2 i.e. Smaller and smaller error bars are likely to come at exponential price (unless convergence is exponential).

31 Skeleton diagrams up to high- order: do they make sense for g 1? NO g Diverge for large even if are convergent for small. g Dyson: Expansion in powers of g is asymptotic if for some (e.g. complex) g one finds pathological behavior. Electron gas: Bosons: e ie U U [collapse to infinite density] Math. Statement: # of skeleton graphs 3/2 2 n n n! asymptotic series with zero conv. radius (n! beats any power) A N Asymptotic series for g 1 with zero convergence radius 1/ N

32 Skeleton diagrams up to high- order: do they make sense for g 1? YES Divergent series outside of finite convergence radius can be re-summed. Dyson: - Does not apply to the resonant Fermi gas and the Fermi-Hubbard model at finite T. - not known if it applies to skeleton graphs which are NOT series in bare g : cf. the BCS answer (one lowest-order diagram) - Regularization techniques Δ e 1/ g # of graphs is 3/2 2 n n n! but due to sign-blessing they may compensate each other to accuracy better then 1/ n! leading to finite conv. radius
