INT, 05/18/2011 MC sampling of skeleton Feynman diagrams: Road to solution for interacting fermions/spins? Nikolay Prokofiev, Umass, Amherst Boris Svistunov UMass work done in collaboration with Kris van Houcke UMass, U. Gent Evgeny Kozik ETH Felix Werner UMass, ENS + proof from Nature MIT group: Mrtin Zwierlein, Mark Ku, Ariel Sommer, Lawrence Cheuk, Andre Schirotzek Feynman diagrams have become our everyday’s language. “Particle A scatters off particle B by exchanging a particle C … “ Feynman Diagrams: graphical representation for the high-order perturbation theory Diagrammatic technique: admits partial resummation and self-consistent formulation Calculate irreducible diagrams for , , … to get , , …. from Dyson equations Dyson Equation: Screening: Ladders: (contact potential) More tools: (naturally incorporating Dynamic mean-field theory solutions) Higher “level”: diagrams based on effective objects (ladders), irreducible 3-point vertex … Physics of strongly correlated many-body systems, i.e. no small parameters: Are they useful in higher orders? And if they are, how one can handle billions of skeleton graphs? Feynman Diagrams Skeleton diagrams up to high-order: do they make sense for ? NO Diverge for large even if are convergent for small . Math. Statement: # of skeleton graphs asymptotic series with zero conv. radius (n! beats any power) Dyson: Expansion in powers of g is asymptotic if for some (e.g. complex) g one finds pathological behavior. Electron gas: Bosons: [collapse to infinite density] Asymptotic series for with zero convergence radius Skeleton diagrams up to high-order: do they make sense for ? YES # of graphs is but due to sign-blessing they may compensate each other to accuracy better then leading to finite conv. radius Dyson: Does not apply to the resonant Fermi gas and the Fermi-Hubbard model at finite T. not kn
