Functional renormalization group analysis of the half-filled one-dimensional extended Hubbard model.

We study the phase diagram of the half-filled one-dimensional extended Hubbard model at weak coupling using a novel functional renormalization group (FRG) approach. The FRG method includes in a systematic manner the effects of the scattering processes involving electrons away from the Fermi points. Our results confirm the existence of a finite region of bond charge density wave, also known as a "bond order wave" near U=2V and clarify why earlier g-ology calculations have not found this phase. We argue that this is an example in which formally irrelevant corrections change the topology of the phase diagram. Whenever marginal terms lead to an accidental symmetry, this generalized FRG method may be crucial to characterize the phase diagram accurately.

Normal and anomalous heat transport in one-dimensional classical lattices.

We present analytic and numerical results on several models of one-dimensional (1D) classical lattices with the goal of determining the origins of anomalous heat transport and the conditions for normal transport in these systems. Some of the recent results in the literature are reviewed and several original "toy" models are added that provide key elements to determine which dynamical properties are necessary and which are sufficient for certain types of heat transport. We demonstrate with numerical examples that chaos in the sense of positivity of Lyapunov exponents is neither necessary nor sufficient to guarantee normal transport in 1D lattices. Quite surprisingly, we find that in the absence of momentum conservation, even ergodicity of an isolated system is not necessary for the normal transport. Specifically, we demonstrate clearly the validity of the Fourier law in a pseudo-integrable particle chain.

Ground state phases of the half-filled one-dimensional extended hubbard model.

Using quantum Monte Carlo simulations, results of a strong-coupling expansion, and Luttinger liquid theory, we determine quantitatively the ground state phase diagram of the one-dimensional extended Hubbard model with on-site and nearest-neighbor repulsions U and V. We show that spin frustration stabilizes a bond-ordered (dimerized) state for U approximately V/2 up to U/t approximately 9, where t is the nearest-neighbor hopping. The transition from the dimerized state to the staggered charge-density-wave state for large V/U is continuous for U < or approximately 5.5 and first order for higher U.
