Functional Renormalization Group for Nonequilibrium Transport through Mesoscopic Systems
Lecture details
The lecture will be given by Dr. Jakobs.
Description
At the 'Institut für Theorie der Statistischen Physik', the functional renormalization group is frequently used to compute charge or spin currents through quantum dots and wires. When the method is formulated within the framework of Keldysh formalism, it allows to study nonequilibrium situations with finite bias voltage or temperature differences.
The lecture covers the following topics:
- Keldysh-formalism, generating functionals for Green- and vertex functions
- flow equations for the 1-particle irreducible vertex functions
- description of open quantum systems in Keldysh formalism
- application to model systems
