Effects of two-loop contributions in the pseudofermion functional renormalization group method for quantum spin systems

Abstract

We implement an extension of the pseudofermion functional renormalization group (PFFRG) method for quantum spin systems that takes into account two-loop diagrammatic contributions. An efficient numerical treatment of the additional terms is achieved within a nested graph construction which recombines different one-loop interaction channels. In order to be fully self consistent with respect to self-energy corrections we also include certain three-loop terms of Katanin type. We first apply this formalism to the antiferromagnetic $J_1$-$J_2$ Heisenberg model on the square lattice and benchmark our results against the previous one-loop plus Katanin approach. Even though the RG equations undergo significant modifications when including the two-loop terms, the magnetic phase diagram -- comprising Néel ordered and collinear ordered phases separated by a magnetically disordered regime -- remains remarkably unchanged. Only the boundary position between the disordered and the collinear phases is found to be moderately affected by two-loop terms. On the other hand, critical RG scales, which we associate with critical temperatures $T_{\text{c}}$, are reduced by a factor of $\sim 2$ indicating that the two-loop diagrams play a significant role in enforcing the Mermin-Wagner theorem. Improved estimates for critical temperatures are also obtained for the Heisenberg ferromagnet on the 3D simple cubic lattice where errors in $T_{\text{c}}$ are reduced by $\sim 34\%$.
