Functional Renormalization Group Approach for Inhomogeneous Interacting Fermi-Systems

Abstract

The functional renormalization group (fRG) approach has the property that, in general, the flow equation for the two-particle vertex generates $\mathcal{O}(N^4)$ independent variables, where $N$ is the number of interacting states (e.g. sites of a real-space discretization). In order to include the flow equation for the two-particle vertex one needs to make further approximations if $N$ becomes too large. We present such an approximation scheme, called the coupled-ladder approximation, for the special case of onsite interaction. Like the generic third-order-truncated fRG, the coupled-ladder approximation is exact to second order and is closely related to a simultaneous treatment of the random phase approximation in all channels, i.e. summing up parquet-type diagrams. The scheme is applied to a one-dimensional model describing a quantum point contact.
