On the Imbalanced d-wave Superfluids within the Spin Polarized Extended Hubbard Model: Weak Coupling Limit

We investigate the superfluid properties of d-wave pairing symmetry within the Extended Hubbard Model (EHM) in a magnetic field. We analyze the temperature and magnetic field dependencies of the order parameter. We find that in the two-dimensional case, the spatially homogeneous spin polarized superfluidity ($SC(P\neq0)$) is stable in the weak coupling limit, at T=0, as opposed to the s-wave pairing symmetry case in 2D. We construct the ground state phase diagrams both for fixed chemical potential ($\mu$) and electron concentration ($n$). Furthermore, we obtain the temperature vs. magnetic field and temperature vs. spin polarization phase diagrams.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure

On the BCS-BEC crossover in the 2D Asymmetric Attractive Hubbard Model

We analyze the evolution from the weak coupling (BCS-like limit) to the strong coupling limit of tightly bound local pairs (LP's) in the 2D asymmetric attractive Hubbard model, in the presence of the Zeeman magnetic field ($h$). The broken symmetry Hartree approximation is used. We also apply the Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) scenario to determine the phase coherence temperatures. We obtain that for the spin dependent hopping integrals ($t^{\uparrow}\neq t^{\downarrow}$) the homogeneous polarized superfluid (SC$_M$) phase in the ground state for the strong attraction and lower filling can be stabilized. We find a topological quantum phase transition (Lifshitz type) from the unpolarized superfluid phase (SC$_0$) to SC$_M$ and tricritical point in the ($h-\mu$) and spin polarization ($P$) vs. attraction ($U<0$) ground state phase diagrams. The finite temperatures phase diagrams for $t^{\uparrow}\neq t^{\downarrow}$ are constructed.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, proceedings of the international conference Physics of Magnetism 2011, Poznan, Polan

Non-perturbative renormalization in coordinate space for Nf=2N_f=2 maximally twisted mass fermions with tree-level Symanzik improved gauge action

We present results of a lattice QCD application of a coordinate space renormalization scheme for the extraction of renormalization constants for flavour non-singlet bilinear quark operators. The method consists in the analysis of the small-distance behaviour of correlation functions in Euclidean space and has several theoretical and practical advantages, in particular: it is gauge invariant, easy to implement and has relatively low computational cost. The values of renormalization constants in the X-space scheme can be converted to the MSbar scheme via 4-loop continuum perturbative formulae. Our results for $N_f=2$ maximally twisted mass fermions with tree-level Symanzik improved gauge action are compared to the ones from the RI-MOM scheme and show full agreement with this method.Comment: 29 pages, 7 figures, 6 table
