Density Renormalization Group for Classical Liquids

Abstract

We study response of liquid to a scale transformation, which generates a change of the liquid density, and obtain a set of differential equations for correlation functions. The set of equations, which we call density renormalization group equations (DRGEs), is similar to the BBGKY hierarchy as it relates different multiple-point correlation functions. In particular, we derive DRGEs for one-particle irreducible vertex functions of liquid by performing Legendre transformations, which enables us to calculate properties of liquid at higher density in terms of correlation functions at lower density.
