Abstract
We apply a field-theoretic functional renormalization-group technique to the few-body (vacuum) physics of nonrelativistic atoms near a Feshbach resonance. Three systems are considered: one-component bosons with a U(1) symmetry, two-component fermions with a $\text{U}(1)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\text{SU}(2)$ symmetry, and three-component fermions with a $\text{U}(1)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\text{SU}(3)$ symmetry. We focus on the scale-invariant unitarity limit of an infinite scattering length. The exact solution for the two-body sector is consistent with the unitary fixed-point behavior of the considered systems. Nevertheless, the numerical three-body solution in the $s$-wave sector develops a limit cycle scaling in case of U(1) bosons and SU(3) fermions. The Efimov parameter for the one-component bosons and the three-component fermions is found to be $s\ensuremath{\approx}1.006$, consistent with the result of Efimov.
