%T Functional renormalisation approach to driven dissipative dynamics
%U https://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/volltextserver/17524/
%X In this thesis we investigate driven-dissipative stationary scaling states of Burgers’ and Gross–Pitaevskii equations (GPE).    The path integral representation of the steady state of the stochastic Burgers equation is used in order to investigate the scaling solutions of the system at renormalisation group fixed points. We employ the functional renormalisation group in order to access the nonperturbative regime. We devise an approximation that respects Galilei invariance and is designed to resolve the frequency and momentum dependence of the two-point velocity correlation function. We establish a set of renormalisation group fixed point equations for effective inverse propagators with an arbitrary frequency and momentum dependence. In all spatial dimensions they yield a continuum of fixed points as well as an isolated one. These results are fully compatible with the existing literature for d = 1 only. For d ̸= 1 however results of the literature focus almost exclusively on irrotational solutions while the solutions that our approximation can capture contain necessarily vorticity and are closer to Navier-Stokes turbulence.    Non-equilibrium steady states of ultra-cold Bose gases coupled to external reservoirs of energy and particles such as exciton–polariton condensates are related to the stochastic KPZ equation by the density and phase decomposition of the average complex wave function. We postulate that the scaling that we obtain in this context applies as well to far-from-equilibrium quasi-stationary steady states (non-thermal fixed points) of the corresponding closed system described by the GPE. We translate results found in the KPZ literature to their corresponding dual in the ultra-cold Bose gas set-up. We find that this provides a new scaling relation which can be used to analytically identify the classical Kolmogorov −5/3 exponent and its anomalous correction. Moreover we estimate the anomalous correction to the scaling exponent of the compressible part of the kinetic energy spectrum of the Bose gas which is confirmed by numerical simulations of the GPE.
