In conventional relativistic quantum field theory, the discrete operators $\textbf{C}$, $\textbf{P}$, and $\textbf{T}$ are matrix operators with no renormalization scale dependence. However, in a Lorentz-violating theory with a fermion…
The functional renormalization group (FRG) has been used widely to investigate phase diagrams, in particular the one of the two-dimensional Hubbard model. So far, the study of one-dimensional models has not attracted as much attention. We…

We implement an extension of the pseudofermion functional renormalization group (PFFRG) method for quantum spin systems that takes into account two-loop diagrammatic contributions. An efficient numerical treatment of the additional terms is…
We investigate the functional renormalization group (FRG) flow of the two-particle vertex function of a model for X-ray absorption in metals. Concerning the appearance of logarithmic divergences, the model is prototypical for an important…
