Luttinger Revisted-the Renormalization Group Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
Luttinger's contributions abound in different parts of many-body physics. Here I review the ones that appear when one uses the Renormalization Group (RG) to study the subject: the Luttinger Liquid, Luttinger's Theorem (on the volume of the Fermi surface) and the Kohn-Luttinger Theorem on the superconducting instability of all metals as one approaches absolute zero.

Fermionic renormalization group methods for transport through inhomogeneous Luttinger liquids
We compare two fermionic renormalization group methods which have been used to investigate the electronic transport properties of one-dimensional metals with twoparticle interaction (Luttinger liquids) and local inhomogeneities. The first one is a poor man’s method setup to resum “leading-log” divergences of the effective transmission at the Fermi momentum. Generically the resulting equations c...

The stability of the Luttinger liquid to small transverse hopping has been studied from several points of view. The renormalization group approach in particular has been criticized because it does not take explicitly into account the difference between spin and charge velocities and because the interaction should be turned-on before the transverse hopping if the stability of the Luttinger liqui...
متن کاملA NUMERICAL RENORMALIZATION GROUP APPROACH FOR AN ELECTRON-PHONON INTERACTION
A finite chain calculation in terms of Hubbard X-operators is explored by setting up a vibronic Harniltonian. The model conveniently transformed into a form so that in the case of strong coupling a numerical renormalization group approach is applicable. To test the technique, a one particle Green function is calculated for the model Harniltonian
متن کاملCompeting effects of interactions and spin-orbit coupling in a quantum wire.
We study the interplay of electron-electron interactions and Rashba spin-orbit coupling in one-dimensional ballistic wires. Using the renormalization group approach we construct the phase diagram in terms of Rashba coupling, Tomonaga-Luttinger stiffness and backward scattering strength. We identify the parameter regimes with a dynamically generated spin gap and show where the Luttinger liquid p...
متن کاملSingle Particle Hopping Between Luttinger Liquids: A Spectral Function Approach
We present a pedagogical account of our approach to the problem of Luttinger liquids coupled by interliquid single particle hopping. It is shown that the key issue is that of coherence/incoherence of interliquid hopping, and not of relevance/irrelevance in a renormalization group sense. A clear signal of coherence, present in the case of coupled Fermi liquids, is absent for Luttinger liquids, a...
