Critical exponents from a Landau-like approach — •Sören Sanders — Carl von Ossietzky Universität, Oldenburg, Deutschland

Landau’s approach to continuous phase transitions provides an effective theory for the description around the critical point but falls short in correctly establishing non-trivial critical exponents. Using the example of the Mott-insulator to superfluid transition of the Bose-Hubbard model, we derive from the microscopic properties a Landau-like description not restricted by this limitation and correctly reproduce the best known value for the critical exponent β of the XY-universality class.
