Quantum critical points (QCPs) are among the most interesting phenomena in condensed matter systems and can emerge by exploiting a non-thermal parameter to suppress finite-temperature phase transitions. Although the limit of zero temperature cannot be reached experimentally, the existence of a QCP can severely influence the system’s excitation spectrum. In spite of the intrinsic interest, a consistent theory for QCPs has not been established yet, due to the associated intermingling of temporal and spatial correlations. In this talk, quantum critical properties of the fundamental model of electronic correlations, the Hubbard model in three dimensions, are studied by means of a diagrammatic extension of the dynamical mean field theory, the dynamical vertex approximation (DΓA). The model’s magnetic phase diagram is computed upon doping and its critical regions and exponents are analyzed. Quite unexpectedly, the quantum critical properties are found to be driven by the model’s Fermi surface properties (Kohn points), even in presence of strong correlations, contradicting the predictions of the conventional Hertz-Millis-Moriya theory.
