Symmetry-breaking phases of many-fermion systems are characterized by anomalous functions representing transient processes during which some characteristics of free particles, such as spin or charge, are not conserved. Matching the low-temperature symmetry-breaking phase with the high-temperature one consistently with nontrivial quantum dynamics is...
Article
Full-text available
We disclose a serious deficiency of the Baym-Kadanoff construction of thermodynamically consistent conserving approximations. There are two vertices in this scheme: dynamical and conserving. The divergence of each indicates a phase instability. We show that each leads to incomplete and qualitatively different behavior at different critical points....

We present an improved model for studying the interactions between dipole moments of water molecules confined in beryl crystals inspired by recent NMR experiments. Our model is based on a local crystal potential with dihexagonal symmetry for the rotations of water dipole moments, leading to deflection from the ab hexagonal crystallographic plane. T...

I review the way the many-body Green functions are used to renormalize the perturbation theory of correlated fermions. The Green functions are introduced to implement systematically dynamical corrections to the static mean-field theory. The renormalizations enter the perturbation theory via self-consistent evaluations of one-particle and two-partic...

Mean-field approximation offers a first qualitative picture of the behavior of interacting systems in particular in the critical region of singularities in the response functions. The static Hartree approximation fails in strong coupling and the dynamical mean-field approximation, as the limit to infinite dimensions, is not analytically solvable in...

Behavior of Andreev gap states in a quantum dot with Coulomb repulsion symmetrically attached to superconducting leads is studied via the perturbation expansion in the interaction strength. We find the exact asymptotic form of the spin-symmetric solution for the Andreev states continuously approaching the Fermi level. We thereby derive a critical i...

One- and two-electron Green functions are simultaneously needed to determine the response functions of the electron gas in a random potential. Reliable approximations must retain consistency between the two types of Green functions expressed via Ward identities so that their output is compliant with macroscopic symmetries and conservation laws. Suc...
Article
Quantum criticality emerges in proximity of a low-temperature singularity in the two-particle Green function. A consistent description of the quantum critical behavior demands that the two-particle divergence is simultaneously accompanied by a symmetry breaking in the one-particle self-energy. This cannot be easily achieved in models of correlated...

We address the problem of vanishing of diffusion in noninteracting disordered electron systems and its description by means of averaged Green functions. Since vanishing of diffusion, Anderson localization, cannot be identified by means of one-electron quantities, one must appropriately approximate two-particle functions. We show how to construct no...

We address the problem of fulfilling consistency conditions in solutions for disordered noninteracting electrons. We prove that if we assume the existence of the diffusion pole in an electron–hole symmetric theory we cannot achieve a solution with a causal self-energy that would fully fit the Ward identity. Since the self-energy must be causal, we...

We apply the Wiener–Hopf method of solving convolutive integral equations on a semi-infinite interval to the X-ray edge problem. Dyson equations for basic Green functions from the X-ray problem are rewritten as convolutive integral equations on a time-interval [0,t] with t→∞. The long-time asymptotics of solutions to these equations is derived with...

We study the single impurity Anderson model in an external magnetic field. There are no exact results for the spectral function in this situation. Using a resummation of the diagrammatic expansion we demonstrate that the strong coupling regime in a weak magnetic field is Kondo-like with a quasiparticle resonant peak split into two. We find two expo...
