Limit Cycles in the Renormalization Group
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper will review the consequences of having limit cycles in the renormalization group. Characteristics such as discrete symmetry invariance and log periodic behavior of observables are expected in systems that exhibit limit cycles in their renormalization group. Some realizations of limit cycles will be explained. Specifically limit cycles in RG flows will be used to explain the Efimov effect.

Limit cycles in quantum theories.
Renormalization group limit cycles and more chaotic behavior may be commonplace for quantum Hamiltonians requiring renormalization, in contrast to experience based on classical models with critical behavior, where fixed points are far more common. We discuss the simplest quantum model Hamiltonian identified so far that exhibits a renormalization group with both limit cycle and chaotic behavior....

Renormalization group limit cycles may be a commonplace for quantum Hamiltonians requiring renormalization, in contrast to experience to date with classical models of critical points, where fixed points are far more common. We discuss the simplest model Hamiltonian identified to date that exhibits a renormalization group limit cycle. The model is a discrete Hamiltonian with two coupling constan...

We discuss the physics of the Efimov effect from a renormalization group viewpoint using the concept of limit cycles. Furthermore, we discuss recent experiments providing evidence for the Efimov effect in ultracold gases and its relevance for nuclear systems.

In this paper, using the tight-binding model, we extend the real-space renormalization group method to time-dependent Hamiltonians. We drive the time-dependent recursion relations for the renormalized tight-binding Hamiltonian by decimating selective sites of lattice iteratively. The formalism is then used for the calculation of the local density of electronic states for a one dimensional quant...

Abstract Based on our studies done on two-dimensional autonomous systems, forced non-autonomous systems and time-delayed systems, we propose a unified methodology — that uses renormalization group theory — for finding out existence of periodic solutions in a plethora of nonlinear dynamical systems appearing across disciplines. The technique will be shown to have a non-trivial ability of classif...
