Renormalization of the electron-phonon interaction: a reformulation of the BCS-gap equation

Abstract: A recently developed renormalization approach is used to study the electron-phonon coupling in many-electron systems. By starting from an Hamiltonian which includes a small gauge symmetry breaking field, we directly derive a BCS-like equation for the energy gap from the renormalization approach. The effective electron-electron interaction for Cooper pairs does not contain any singularities. Furthermore, it is found that phonon-induced particle-hole excitations only contribute to the attractive electron-electro… Show more

“…Meanwhile the method of flow equations has been applied to many systems. Apart from those already mentioned we list the following applications: Anderson impurity model [25,27,95] Fano-Anderson and Anderson lattice [83], spin-boson models and dissipation [26,28,31,40,44,66,76,77,78,92], qbit and spin-boson model [97], electronphonon interaction and superconductivity [32,34,49,52,88,115], superconductivity and impurities [39], boson fermion model [50,71,93,103], Tomonaga-Luttinger model [79,94], one-dimensional fermions [85], Kondo model [36,70,84,87,108,112,118,120], Fermi and Luttinger liquid [35,73], sine-Gordon model [56,69], QED [29,30,43], QCD and general [24,51,…”

“…28,29 The PRM was introduced 15 as an alternative approach to many-particle systems and was already applied to a number of different systems. Examples are the investigation of phonon-mediated superconductivity starting from an explicit expression for the electron-phonon interaction 30 and the discussion of the metal-insulator transition in the Holstein model. 31 Many-particle systems in the presence of strong correlations such as the PAM were also investigated.…”
