Matrix element interference in $N$-patch functional renormalization group

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2019-04-10 v1

Abstract

We show that the N-patch functional renormalization group (pFRG), a theoretical method commonly applied for correlated electron systems, is unable to implement consistently the matrix element interference arising from strong momentum dependence in the Bloch state contents or the interaction vertices. We show that such a deficit could lead to results incompatible with checkable limits of weak and strong coupling. We propose that the pFRG could be improved by a better account of momentum conservation.
