Abstract:
Renormalization group analysis for multi-band many-electron systems at half-filling at positive temperature is presented. The analysis includes the Matsubara ultra-violet integration and the infrared integration around the zero set of the dispersion relation. The multi-scale integration schemes are implemented in a finite-dimensional Grassmann algebra indexed by discrete position-time variables. In order that the multi-scale integrations are justified inductively, various scale-dependent estimates on Grassmann polynomials are established. We apply these theories in practice to prove that for the half-filled Hubbard model with nearest-neighbor hopping on a square lattice the infinite-volume, zero-temperature limit of the free energy density exists as an analytic function of the coupling constant in a neighborhood of the origin if the system contains the magnetic flux $\pi$ (mod $2\pi$) per plaquette and $0$ (mod $2\pi$) through the large circles around the periodic lattice. Combined with Lieb's result on the flux phase problem ([Lieb, E. H., Phys. Rev. Lett. $\bf 73$ (1994), 2158]), this theorem implies that the minimum free energy density of the flux phase problem converges to an analytic function of the coupling constant in the infinite-volume, zero-temperature limit. The proof of the theorem is based on a four-band formulation of the model Hamiltonian and an extension of Giuliani-Mastropietro's renormalization designed for the half-filled Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice ([Giuliani, A. and V. Mastropietro, Commun. Math. Phys. $\bf 293$ (2010), 301--346]).
