Hertz-Millis theory and quantum criticality

Hartz-Millis(HM) theory is a model which exhibits quantum phase transition. The HM action following Altland & Simons is given by $$ S = \frac{1}{\beta}\sum_{\omega_{n}}\int \frac{d^d q}{(2\pi)^d}\...

Wilsonian RG approach to Fermi liquid theory

In modern terms, Landau's theory of Fermi liquids is understood as the fixed point of a Wilsonian RG as one scales towards the Fermi surface. Shankar and others use the RG interpretation to explain ...

How is mass renormalization in heavy fermion materials differnt from a normal Fermi Liquid?

In normal fermi liquid theory, I saw that the mass is renormalized as $$ \frac{m*}{m}=1+\frac{F_0}{3} $$ Recently I saw a couple talks on heavy fermion materials. One described, the fermi liquid ...

The "dangerous" fixed points for Renormalization Group

What is the definition of dangerously irrelevant renormalization-group (RG) fixed point? What are some examples of dangerously irrelevant RG fixed points? Do we also have the use of dangerously ...
