Boundary Strong Disorder Renormalization    [PDF]

Cecile Monthus, Thomas Garel

Strong Disorder Renormalization for the Random Transverse Field Ising model leads to a complicated topology of surviving clusters as soon as $d>1$. Even if one starts from a Cayley tree, the network of surviving renormalized clusters will contain loops, so that no analytical solution can been obtained. Here we introduce a modified procedure called 'Boundary Strong Disorder Renormalization' that preserves the tree structure, so that one can write simple recursions with respect to the number of generations. We first show that this modified procedure allows to recover exactly most of the critical exponents for the one-dimensional chain. After this important check, we study the RG equations for the quantum Ising model on a Cayley tree with a uniform ferromagnetic coupling $J$ and random transverse fields with support $[h_{min},h_{max}]$. We find the following picture (i) for $J>h_{max}$, only bonds are decimated, so that the whole tree is a quantum ferromagnetic cluster (ii) for $JView original: http://arxiv.org/abs/1205.4512
