Title: Leading-logarithmic approximation by one-loop renormalization group within Matsubara formalism

Abstract: We demonstrate how to devise a Matsubara-formalism-based one-loop approximation to the flow of the functional renormalization group (FRG) that reproduces identically the leading-logarithmic parquet approximation. This construction of a controlled fermionic FRG approximation in a regime not accessible by perturbation theory generalizes a previous study from the real-time zero-temperature formalism to the Matsubara formalism and thus to the de facto standard framework used for condensed-matter FRG studies. Our investigation is based on a simple model for the absorption of x rays in metals. It is a core part of our construction to exploit that in a suitable leading-logarithmic approximation the values of the particle-hole susceptibility on the real- and on the imaginary-frequency axes are identical.
