Two-loop functional renormalization group approach to the one- and two-dimensional Hubbard model

Abstract

We consider the application of the two-loop functional renormalization group (fRG) approach to study the low-dimensional Hubbard model. This approach accounts for both the universal and nonuniversal contributions to the RG flow. While the universal contributions were studied previously within the field-theoretical RG for the one-dimensional Hubbard model with linearized electronic dispersion and the two-dimensional Hubbard model with flat Fermi surface, the nonuniversal contributions to the flow of the vertices and susceptibilities appear to be important at large momenta scales. The two-loop fRG approach is also applied to the two-dimensional Hubbard model with a curved Fermi surface and the van Hove singularities near the Fermi level. The vertices and susceptibilities in the end of the flow of the two-loop approach are suppressed in comparison with both the one-loop approach with vertex projection and the modified one-loop approach with corrected vertex projection errors. The results of the two-loop approach are closer to the results of one-loop approach with the projected vertices, the difference of the results of one- and two-loop fRG approaches decreases when going away from the van Hove band filling. The quasiparticle weight remains finite in two dimensions at not too low temperatures above the paramagnetic ground state.
