Abstract

We devise a functional renormalization group treatment for a chain of interacting spinless fermions which is correct up to second order in the interaction strength. We treat both inhomogeneous systems in real-space as well as the translational invariant case in a k-space formalism. The strengths and shortcomings of the different schemes as well as technical details of their implementation are discussed. We use the method to study two proof-of-principle problems in the realm of Luttinger liquid physics, namely reflection at interfaces and power laws in the occupation number as a function of crystal momentum.
