Functional Renormalization Group calculation of the Fermi surface of a spin-ladder

Abstract

We study non conventional superconductivity on a ladder, improving the predictions of the Hubbard model. The determination of the Fermi surface, in 2 or 3 dimensions, remains a very hard task, but it is exactly solvable for a single ladder. We use functional Renormalisation Group methods, which prove, here, scheme-dependant. In the superconducting phase, the binding/antibinding gap is stabilized, but in the antiferromagnetic phase, it shrinks and the ladder turns one-dimensional.
