SO(4)二维狄拉克费米子的多临界性

SO(4) multicriticality of two-dimensional Dirac fermions

Igor F. Herbut, Michael M. Scherer

摘要:

研究了(2+1)维Gross-Neveu-Yukawa场论中的量子多临界行为,场论中八分量Dirac费米子耦合到两个三重态序参量作为Dirac质量,并变换为SO(4)$\simeq$ SO(3)$\times$ SO(3)对称群下的$(1,0) + (0,1)$表示.这种场论与蜂窝或$π$磁通晶格上的自旋1/2费米子有关,例如,在$s$波超导体和电荷密度波之间的过渡点附近,在一边,在另一边,Néel序。这样的序参数的两个三元组总是允许两个其他序参数的公共对,这将使它们完整到最大的相容(反交换)序集5。我们首先推导出一个幺正变换的Nambu(粒子-空穴)空间映射任何两个这样的三重态,可能包含一些超导订单,到纯粹的绝缘序参数。这使得人们可以考虑一个通用的SO(4)Gross-Neveu-Yukawa描述的多临界没有任何Nambu加倍。然后,我们继续推导出重整化群流的耦合常数在$4-ε$时空维的单圈顺序,也允许一个更一般的顺序参数下的SO($n_a$)$\times$ SO($n_b$)转换。虽然$n_a=n_b > 2 $在玻色子部门和费米子去耦有一个稳定的固定点的流量,汤川耦合到费米子迅速导致其消除的通用固定点碰撞费米子味数$N_f$的相关范围。这表明在物理情况$n_a=n_b=3$中,临界特性被失控流所取代。本文还讨论了在$n_a\neq n_b$上RG流的结构,并给出了当$D=2+1$中有$n_a=3$和$n_b=1$时,有利于解耦临界点稳定性的非微扰参数.

英文摘要:

We study quantum multicritical behavior in a (2+1)-dimensional Gross-Neveu-Yukawa field theory with eight-component Dirac fermions coupled to two triplets of order parameters that act as Dirac masses, and transform as $(1,0) + (0,1)$ representation under the SO(4)$\simeq$SO(3)$\times$SO(3) symmetry group. This field theory is relevant to spin-1/2 fermions on honeycomb or $π$-flux lattices, for example, near the transition points between an $s$-wave superconductor and a charge-density wave, on one side, and Néel order, on the other. Two triplets of such order parameters always allow for a common pair of two other order parameters that would complete them to the maximal set of compatible (anticommuting) orders of five. We first derive a unitary transformation in the Nambu (particle-hole) space which maps any two such triplets, possibly containing some superconducting orders, onto purely insulating order parameters. This allows one to consider a universal SO(4) Gross-Neveu-Yukawa description of the multicriticality without any Nambu doubling. We then proceed to derive the renormalization-group flow of the coupling constants at one-loop order in $4-ε$ space-time dimensions, allowing also a more general set of order parameters transforming under SO($n_a$)$\times$SO($n_b$). While for $n_a=n_b > 2 $ in the bosonic sector and with fermions decoupled there is a stable fixed point of the flow, the Yukawa coupling to fermions quickly leads to its elimination by a generic fixed-point collision in the relevant range of fermion flavor numbers $N_f$. This suggests the replacement of the critical behavior by a runaway flow in the physical case $n_a=n_b=3$. The structure of the RG flow at $n_a\neq n_b$ is also discussed, and some non-perturbative arguments in favor of the stability of the decoupled critical point when $n_a=3$ and $n_b=1$ in $D=2+1$ are provided.
