Spin functional renormalization group for the $J_{1}J_{2}J_{3}$ quantum Heisenberg model

Abstract

We use our recently developed functional renormalization group (FRG) approach for quantum spin systems to investigate the phase diagram of the frustrated $J_{1}J_{2}J_{3}$ quantum Heisenberg model on a cubic lattice. From a simple truncation of the hierarchy of FRG flow equations for the irreducible spin-vertices which retains only static spin fluctuations and neglects the flow of the four-spin interaction, we can estimate the critical temperature with a similar accuracy as the numerically more expensive pseudofermion FRG. In the regime where the ground state exhibits either ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic order, a more sophisticated truncation including the renormalization of the four-spin interaction as well as dynamic spin fluctuations reveals the underlying renormalization group fixed point and yields critical temperatures which deviate from the accepted values by at most 4 %.
