Abstract
In this work we present a new theoretical approach for the study of the phase diagram of interacting quantum particles: bosons, fermions or spins. Starting from the microscopic Hamiltonian of a quantum model, we first derive a set of exact differential equations for the free energy and the correlation functions describing the effects of fluctuations on the thermodynamics of the system. These equations reproduce the full renormalization group structure in the neighbourhood of a critical point keeping, at the same time, fuli information on the non universal properties of the model. A simple approximation to our formally exact equations is studied for the spin-S Heisenberg model where explicit results for critical exponents, critical temperature and coexistence curve are obtained. In three dimensions the results are in good agreement with available quantum Monte Carlo simulations and series expansions.
