We study the Fermi edge singularity, describing the response of a degenerate electron system to optical excitation, in the framework of the functional renormalization group (fRG). Results for the (interband) particle-hole susceptibility from various implementations of fRG are tested against the summation of all leading log. diagrams, achieved by a solution of parquet equations. For the (zero-dimensional) special case of the X-ray edge singularity, we analytically reproduce the (first-order) parquet formula in a consistent way from a truncated fRG flow. Reviewing the underlying diagrammatic structure, we show that this derivation relies on partial cancellations special to the form of and accuracy applied to the X-ray problem and does not generalize. In fact, we show that the truncated fRG flow can only generate a fraction of the parquet graphs.
