We describe a search for renormalization group fixed points which control a second-order quantum phase transition between a d_{x^2-y^2} superconductor and some other superconducting ground state. Only a few candidate fixed points are found.…
We consider serious conceptual problems with the application of standard perturbation theory, in its zero temperature version, to the computation of the dressed Fermi surface for an interacting electronic system. In order to overcome these…
We study 2D fermions with a short-range interaction in the presence of a van Hove singularity. It is shown that this system can be consistently described by an effective field theory whose Fermi surface is subdivided into regions as defined…
Numerous correlated electron systems exhibit a strongly scale-dependent behavior. Upon lowering the energy scale, collective phenomena, bound states, and new effective degrees of freedom emerge. Typical examples include (i) competing…
We discuss the free-energy density of bosonic and fermionic theories possessing strongly coupled critical points in D=3. We construct a stationary renormalization group trajectory which interpolates between the free massless theory of N…
Dimensional reduction of finite temperature quantum field theories can be improved with help of continous renormalisation group steps. The method is applied to the integration of the lowest non-static ($n=\pm 1$) modes of the finite…
U(1) lattice gauge theory with $\theta$-term is investigated by real space renormalization group approach. Flows of renormalized coupling constants are analyzed. For each $\theta$, renormalization flows converge to a single trajectory…

An effective field theory for clean electron systems is developed in analogy to the generalized nonlinear sigma-model for disordered interacting electrons. The physical goal is to separate the soft or massless electronic degrees of freedom…
Motivated by a recent experimental observation of a nodal liquid on both single crystals and thin films of Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+\delta}$ by Chatterjee \emph{et al.} [Nature Physics \textbf{6}, 99 (2010)], we perform a field-theoretical…
We study by means of renormalization group techniques the effect that on the two-dimensional electron liquid may have the van Hove singularities observed experimentally in the copper-oxide superconductors. We find significant deviations…
The phase transition to superfluidity and the BCS-BEC crossover for an ultracold gas of fermionic atoms is discussed within a functional renormalization group approach. Non-perturbative flow equations, based on an exact renormalization…

At strong on-site repulsion $ U $, the fermionic Hubbard model realizes an extremely correlated electron system. In this regime, it is natural to derive the low-energy physics with the help of non-canonical operators acting on a projected…
The Wilsonian renormalisation group is applied to a system of two nonrelativistic particles interacting via short-range forces and coupled to an external EM field. By demanding that a fully off-shell one-particle-irreducible 5-point…
We present a new method for renormalisation group improvement of the effective potential of a quantum field theory with an arbitrary number of scalar fields. The method amounts to solving the renormalisation group equation for the effective…
