Abstract

We compute the two-loop interaction correction to the minimal conductivity of disorder-free intrinsic graphene with the help of dimensional regularization. The calculation is done in two different ways: via density-density and via current-current correlation functions. Upon properly renormalizing the perturbation theory, in both cases, we find that: σ=σ0(1+\al(196π)/12)σ0(1+0.01\al)\sigma = \sigma_0\,( 1 + \al\,(19-6\pi)/12) \approx \sigma_0 \,(1 + 0.01\, \al), where \al=e2/(4πv)\al = e^2 / (4 \pi \hbar v) is the renormalized fine structure constant and σ0=e2/(4)\sigma_0 = e^2 / (4 \hbar). Our results are consistent with experimental uncertainties and resolve a theoretical dispute.
