Computation kernel for Feynman diagrams

We present a general representation for solving problems in many-body perturbation theory. By defining an overcomplete representation for the single-particle Green's function we show how one can convert an arbitrary Feynman graph to a universal kernel representation. Once constructed, the computation kernel contains no problem specific information yet contains all explicit temperature and frequency dependence of the diagram. This computation kernel is problem agnostic, and valid for any physical problem that would normally leverage the Matsubara formalism of many-body perturbation theory. The result of any diagram can be written as a linear combination of these computation kernel elements with coefficients given by a sum over products of known tensor elements that are themselves problem specific and represent spatial degrees of freedom. We probe the efficacy of this approach by generating the computation kernel for a low order self-energy diagram which we then use to construct solutions to distinct problems.

Abstract

We present a general representation for solving problems in many-body perturbation theory. By defining an overcomplete representation for the single-particle Green's function we show how one can convert an arbitrary Feynman graph to a universal kernel representation. Once constructed, the computation kernel contains no problem specific information yet contains all explicit temperature and frequency dependence of the diagram. This computation kernel is problem agnostic, and valid for any physical problem that would normally leverage the Matsubara formalism of many-body perturbation theory. The result of any diagram can be written as a linear combination of these computation kernel elements with coefficients given by a sum over products of known tensor elements that are themselves problem specific and represent spatial degrees of freedom. We probe the efficacy of this approach by generating the computation kernel for a low order self-energy diagram which we then use to construct solutions to distinct problems.
