A weakly interacting boson-fermion mixture model was investigated using Wisonian renormalization group analysis. This model includes one boson-boson interaction term and one boson-fermion interaction term. The scaling dimensions of the two interaction coupling constants were calculated as 2-D at tree level and the Gell-Mann-Low equations were derived at one-loop level. We find that in the Gell-Mann-Low equations the contributions from the fermion loops go to zero as the length scale approaches infinity. After ignoring the fermion loop contributions two fixed points were found in 3 dimensional case. One is the Gaussian fixed point and the other one is Wilson-Fisher fixed point. We find that the boson-fermion interaction decouples at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point. We also observe that under RG transformation the boson-fermion interaction coupling constant runs to negative infinity with a small negative initial value, which indicates a boson-fermion pairing instability. Furthermore, the possibility of emergent supersymmetry in this model was discussed.

We theoretically investigate quantum-mechanical dynamics of quasi-one-dimensional boson-fermion mixtures of atomic gases trapped in a toroidal potential, where effective inter-atomic interactions are tunable and affect the dynamics. We especially focus on effects of quantum statistics and many-body correlations beyond the Hartree-Fock (HF) mean-field approximation on the dynamics. In order to predict the dynamics, we utilize the numerical exact diagonalization method and also reproduce the calculation in the HF approximation for comparison. The toroidal gases originally have a rotational symmetry in the toroidal direction. We firstly prepare a deformed ground state as an initial state by adding a weak potential deformed in the toroidal direction, and then remove the potential to start the dynamics. In the dynamics, number densities of the deformed gases exhibit oscillations as demonstrated in the present paper. As a result, we find out that the bosons and fermions show quite different behaviors owing to quantum statistics. In particular, the bosons exhibit a low-frequency oscillation in the strong boson-boson attraction regime owing to the many-body correlations, and it can not be reproduced in the HF approximation. The oscillation of the fermions is strongly influenced by that of the bosons through the boson-fermion interaction as a forced oscillator. In addition, we also discuss a relationship between the low-frequency oscillation and restoration of the broken symmetry.
In this paper, we provide a comprehensive study of the quantum magnetism in the Mott insulating phases of the 1D Bose-Hubbard model with abelian or non-abelian synthetic gauge fields, using the Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) method. We focus on the interplay between the synthetic gauge field and the asymmetry of the interactions, which give rise to a very general effective magnetic model: a XYZ model with various Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interactions. The properties of the different quantum magnetic phases and phases transitions of this model are investigated.
We study density wave instabilities in a doubly-degenerate Fermi-Fermi mixture with $SU(2)times SU(2)$ symmetry on a square lattice. For sufficiently large on-site inter-species repulsion, when the two species of fermions are both at half-filling, two conventional ($s$-wave) number density waves are formed with a $pi$-phase difference between them to minimize the inter-species repulsion. Upon moving one species away from half-filling, an unconventional density wave with $d_{xy}$-wave symmetry emerges. When both species are away from the vicinity of half-filling, superconducting instabilities dominate. We present results of a functional renormalization-group calculation that maps out the phase diagram at weak couplings. Also, we provide a simple explanation for the emergence of the $d_{xy}$-density wave phase based on a four-patch model. We find a robust and general mechanism for $d_{xy}$-density-wave formation that is related to the shape and size of the Fermi surfaces. The density imbalance between the two species of fermions in the vicinity of half-filling leads to phase-space discrepancy for different inter-species Umklapp couplings. Using a phase space argument for leading corrections in the one-loop renormalization group approach to fermions, we show that the phase-space discrepancy in our system causes opposite flows for the two leading intra-species Umklapp couplings and that this triggers the $d_{xy}$-density-wave instability.
We investigate the quantum phases of mixed-dimensional cold atom mixtures. In particular, we consider a mixture of a Fermi gas in a two-dimensional lattice, interacting with a bulk Fermi gas or a Bose-Einstein condensate in a three-dimensional lattice. The effective interaction of the two-dimensional system mediated by the bulk system is determined. We perform a functional renormalization group analysis, and demonstrate that by tuning the properties of the bulk system, a subtle competition of several superconducting orders can be controlled among $s$-wave, $p$-wave, $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave, and $g_{xy(x^2-y^2)}$-wave pairing symmetries. Other instabilities such as a charge-density wave order are also demonstrated to occur. In particular, we find that the critical temperature of the $d$-wave pairing induced by the next-nearest-neighbor interactions can be an order of magnitude larger than that of the same pairing induced by doping in the simple Hubbard model. We expect that by combining the nearest-neighbor interaction with the next-nearest-neighbor hopping (known to enhance $d$-wave pairing), an even higher critical temperature may be achieved.

We consider the problem when there are two kinds of Bosons with an attraction between them. We find the system to consist of two Bose condensates with an additional pairing order between the Bosons. The properties of this state are discussed.
