Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless Renormalization Group Flow at a Quantum Phase Transition
Abstract
We present a controlled numerical study of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition in the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model at unit filling, providing evidence of the characteristic logarithmic finite-size scaling of the BKT transition. Employing density matrix renormalization group and quantum Monte Carlo simulations under periodic boundary conditions, together with a systematic finite-size scaling analysis of bipartite particle number fluctuations, we resolve boundary-induced complications that previously obscured critical scaling. We demonstrate that a suitably chosen central region under open boundaries reproduces universal renormalization group signatures, reconciling earlier discrepancies. Finally, leveraging a nonparametric Bayesian analysis, we determine the critical interaction strength with high precision to be U_{c}/J=3.275(2), establishing a benchmark for BKT physics in one-dimensional quantum models.
