Cold Atoms in Condensed Matter
Cold atoms can be made to exist in specially engineered
lattice configurations by overlapping laser light
Techniques gained popularity in the study of Bose-Einstein
condensates
Recent experiments have shifted focus to fermioc atoms
trapped in optical lattices
Feshbach resonances can be used to tune the interactions
between atoms
Magnetic trapping, traditional and laser cooling

Scaling and Fixed Points
For the free energy to remain invariant, physical quantities must
transform as
F(K, h) = L−d
F(KL, hL)
ξ(K, h) = Lξ(KL, hL)
After many blockings the coupling constants tend to fixed points
KL → K∗
, hL → h∗
and once reached this signals the
Divergence of the correlation length

Phase Transitions and Wilson’s “Flow
Equations”
As the system reaches criticality:
Phase transition signaled by order parameter acquiring
non-zero value
Fluctuations of the order parameter grow as signaled by
diverging susceptibility
Long range physics remain after taking partial trace of
partition function with RG procedure
The Beta Function
Wilson showed (’71)
infintesimal renormal-
ization steps lead to a
differential equation for
the flow of couplings: the
beta function

Forward scattering terms remain null, back and Umklapp
scatterings quickly renormalize to zero.

RG Results
Triplet (Singlet) Phase
Back and Umklapp scattering
flow to zero. Forward
scatterings flow to constant
negative values.
Since no couplings diverge,
phase is determined by the
slowest decaying correlation
function
Correlations decay ∝ 1/xgδ
ST decays the slowest. SS
next slowest.
