Critical temperature and superfluid gap of the Unitary Fermi Gas from Functional Renormalization

Abstract

We investigate the superfluid transition of the Unitary Fermi Gas by means of the Functional Renormalization Group, aiming at quantitative precision. We extract $T_{\mathrm{c}}/\mu =0.38(2)$ and $\Delta /\mu =1.04(15)$ for the critical temperature and the superfluid gap at zero temperature, respectively, within a systematic improvement of the truncation for the effective average action. The key new ingredient in comparison to previous approaches consists in the use of regulators which cut off both frequencies and momenta. We incorporate renormalization effects on both the bosonic and the fermionic propagator, include higher order bosonic scattering processes, and investigate the regulator and specification parameter dependence for an error estimate. The ratio $\Delta /T_{\mathrm{c}}=2.7(3)$ becomes less sensitive to the relative cutoff scale of bosons and fermions when improving the truncation. The techniques developed in this work are easily carried over to the cases of finite scattering length, lower dimensionality, and spin-imbalance.
