Abstract

A quantum generalization of the Niemeijer and van Leeuwen (N-vL) renormalization group transformation is constructed which allows to study the critical properties (at Tc>0) of a two-dimensional Ising system with a transverse field on a triangular lattice. Explicit calculations are performed in a second order cumulant expansion. Only one fixed point is found corresponding to the same Ising-like hamiltonian given by N-vl. The linearized transformation has a zero eigenvalue associated with Γ, the transverse field strength. The critical properties of the system are briefly discussed; in particular we show that the singular behaviour of the transverse susceptibility at Γ = 0, which turns out to be of the same kind as that of the energy density, is explained by the existence of such a zero eigenvalue. Our arguments suggest a natural extension of this result to three dimensions.
