作为微扰理论基准的零维O(N)矢量模型、大N展开和泛函重整化群

The zero-dimensional O(N) vector model as a benchmark for perturbation theory, the large-N expansion and the functional renormalization group

Jan Keitel, Lorenz Bartosch

摘要:

我们以零维O(N)矢量模型为例,利用微扰理论、大N展开和泛函重整化群(FRG)计算n点关联函数。比较我们的研究结果与精确的结果,我们表明,微扰理论打破了所有N的温和的相互作用,正如人们所期望的。虽然相互作用引起的移动的自由能和自能很好地描述了大N的扩展,即使对于小N,这是不是高阶关联函数的情况。然而,使用FRG的单粒子不可约形式,我们看到很少的运行耦合足以得到精确的结果为任意N在强耦合制度,优于大N展开为小N。我们进一步评论如何导数展开,一个众所周知的近似策略的FRG,减少到一个精确的方法为零维O(N)向量模型。

英文摘要:

We consider the zero-dimensional O(N) vector model as a simple example to calculate n-point correlation functions using perturbation theory, the large-N expansion, and the functional renormalization group (FRG). Comparing our findings with exact results, we show that perturbation theory breaks down for moderate interactions for all N, as one should expect. While the interaction-induced shift of the free energy and the self-energy are well described by the large-N expansion even for small N, this is not the case for higher-order correlation functions. However, using the FRG in its one-particle irreducible formalism, we see that very few running couplings suffice to get accurate results for arbitrary N in the strong coupling regime, outperforming the large-N expansion for small N. We further remark on how the derivative expansion, a well-known approximation strategy for the FRG, reduces to an exact method for the zero-dimensional O(N) vector model.
