Renormalization theory for the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov states at $T>0$

Abstract

Within the renormalization group framework we study the stability of superfluid density wave states, known as Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) phases, with respect to thermal order-parameter fluctuations in two and three-dimensional ($d\in \{2,3\}$) systems. We analyze the renormalization-group flow of the relevant ordering wave-vector $\overrightarrow{Q_0}$. The calculation indicates an instability of the FFLO-type states towards either a uniform superfluid or the normal state in $d\in \{2,3\}$ and $T>0$. In $d=2$ this is signaled by $\overrightarrow{Q_0}$ being renormalized towards zero, corresponding to the flow being attracted either to the usual Kosterlitz-Thouless fixed-point or to the normal phase. We supplement a solution of the RG flow equations by a simple scaling argument, supporting the generality of the result. The tendency to reduce the magnitude of $\overrightarrow{Q_0}$ by thermal fluctuations persists in $d=3$, where the very presence of long-range order is immune to thermal fluctuations, but the effect of attracting $\overrightarrow{Q_0}$ towards zero by the flow remains observed at $T>0$.
