The new single-boson exchange (SBE) formulation for functional renormalization group (fRG) calculations offers significant algorithmic advantages for the two-dimensional Hubbard model. This method reduces computational effort and improves stability at phase transitions, unlike conventional fRG approaches.
Area of Science:
- Condensed Matter Physics
- Quantum Field Theory
- Computational Physics
Background:
- The two-dimensional Hubbard model is a key model for understanding strongly correlated electron systems.
- Functional Renormalization Group (fRG) is a powerful non-perturbative method for studying quantum systems.
- The single-boson exchange (SBE) formulation offers a new algorithmic approach within fRG.
Purpose of the Study:
- To demonstrate the algorithmic benefits of the SBE formulation for one-loop fRG.
- To apply the SBE-fRG to the two-dimensional Hubbard model on a square lattice.
- To analyze fermion-boson Yukawa couplings and physical susceptibilities.
Main Methods:
- Application of the single-boson exchange (SBE) formulation of the one-loop functional renormalization group (fRG).
- Study of the two-dimensional Hubbard model on a square lattice.
- Analysis of fermion-boson Yukawa couplings and physical susceptibilities as a function of temperature and interaction strength.
- Comparison with the conventional fermionic fRG decomposition.
Main Results:
- The rest functions in the SBE algorithm have a negligible role in the weak-coupling regime above the pseudo-critical temperature.
- Unlike conventional fRG, SBE rest functions remain finite at the pseudo-critical transition.
- The SBE formulation significantly reduces numerical effort for the two-particle vertex function.
Conclusions:
- The SBE formulation of fRG provides algorithmic advantages for studying the two-dimensional Hubbard model.
- The SBE approach shows improved stability and reduced computational cost compared to conventional fRG.
- This work paves the way for future extensions of fRG to multiboson and multiloop calculations.

The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
