Finite-temperature correlations in the Lieb-Liniger one-dimensional Bose gas

Abstract

We address the problem of calculating finite-temperature response functions of an experimentally relevant low-dimensional, strongly correlated system: the integrable one-dimensional Bose gas with a repulsive $\ensuremath{\delta}$-function interaction (the Lieb-Liniger model). Focusing on the dynamical density-density function, we present a Bethe ansatz-based method allowing for its accurate evaluation in finite but large systems, over broad ranges of momenta, frequencies, temperatures, and interaction parameters which are difficult to access using other methods. This allows us to quantify the reshaping of the zero-temperature critical behavior by thermal fluctuations, in experimentally accessible regimes.
