Measuring functional renormalization group fixed-point functions for pinned manifolds

preprint2006arXivOpen access

Abstract

Exact numerical minimization of interface energies is used to test the functional renormalization group (FRG) analysis for interfaces pinned by quenched disorder. The fixed-point function R(u) (the correlator of the coarse-grained disorder) is computed. In dimensions D=d+1, a linear cusp in R''(u) is confirmed for random bond (d=1,2,3), random field (d=0,2,3), and periodic (d=2,3) disorders. The functional shocks that lead to this cusp are seen. Small, but significant, deviations from 1-loop FRG results are compared to 2-loop corrections. The cross-correlation for two copies of disorder is compared with a recent FRG study of chaos.
