Feynman-Vernon influence functional approach to quantum transport in interacting nanojunctions: An analytical hierarchical study — •Luca Magazzu and Milena Grifoni — Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of Regensburg, 93040 Regensburg, Germany

We present a nonperturbative and formally exact approach for the charge transport in interacting nanojunctions based on the Feynman-Vernon influence functional. By borrowing the nomenclature of the famous spin-boson model, we parametrize the two-state dynamics of each single-particle fermionic degree of freedom, in the occupation number representation, in terms of blips and sojourns. We apply our formalism to the exactly solvable resonant level model (RLM) and to the single-impurity Anderson model (SIAM), the latter being a prototype system for studying strong correlations. For both systems, we demonstrate a hierarchical diagrammatic structure. While the hierarchy closes at the second-tier for the RLM, this is not the case for the interacting SIAM. Upon inspection of the current kernel, known results from various perturbative and nonperturbative approximation schemes to quantum transport in the SIAM are recovered. Finally, a novel noncrossing approximation for the hierarchical kernel is developed, which enables us to systematically decrease temperature at each next level of the approximation.
