Multilogarithmic velocity renormalization in graphene
Abstract
We reexamine the effect of long-range Coulomb interactions on the quasiparticle velocity in graphene. Using a nonperturbative functional renormalization group approach with partial bosonization in the forward scattering channel and momentum transfer cutoff scheme, we calculate the quasiparticle velocity, , and the quasiparticle residue, , with frequency-dependent polarization. One of our most striking results is that where the momentum- and interaction-dependent cutoff scale vanishes logarithmically for . Here is measured with respect to one of the charge neutrality (Dirac) points and is the strength of dimensionless bare interaction. Moreover, we also demonstrate that the so-obtained multilogarithmic singularity is reconcilable with the perturbative expansion of in powers of the bare interaction.
