Dr. Andreas A. Buchheit from Saarland University speaks about "Exact Comtinuum Representation of Long-range Interacting Systems and Emerging Exotic Phases in Unconventional Superconductors"
02.05.2023
Continuum limits are a powerful tool in the study of many-body systems in condensed matter physics, yet their validity is often unclear when long-range interactions are present. In this work, we rigorously address this issue and put forth an exact representation of long-range interacting lattices that separates the model into a term describing its continuous analog, the integral contribution, and a term that fully resolves the microstrucure, the lattice contribution. Here, we use the recently developed Singular Euler-Maclaurin expansion, a generalization of the 300-year old Euler-Maclaurin summation formula to multidimensional sums that involve functions with algebraic singularities. For any system dimension, any lattice, any power-law interaction, and for linear, nonlinear, and multi-atomic lattices, we show that the lattice contribution can be described b a differenetial operator based on the multidimensional generalization of the Riemann zeta function, namely the Epstein zeta function. We employ our representation in Fourier space to solve the long-standing problem of long-range interacting uncnventional superconductors. We derive a generalized Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer gap equation, solve it numerically, and find emerging exotic phases in two-dimensional superconductors with topological phase transitions. Finally, we dtermine the quantum time evolution and utilize non-equilibrium Higgs spectroscopy to analyze the impact of long-range interactions on the collective excitationsof the condensate.
The guest talk will take place on May 9, 2023 from 4:30 - 5:30 pm in H 31 (FAN B).
