Abstract

Starting from the finite volume form factors of local operators, we show how and under which hypothesis the c = 1 free boson conformal field theory in two-dimensions emerges as an effective theory governing the large-distance regime of multi-point correlation functions for a large class of one-dimensional massless quantum Hamiltonians. In our approach, in the large-distance critical regime, the local operators of the initial model are represented by well suited vertex operators associated to the free boson model. This provides an effective field theoretic description of the large distance behaviour of correlation functions in 1D quantum critical models. We develop this description starting from the first principles and directly at the microscopic level, namely in terms of the properties of the finite volume matrix elements of local operators.

Asymptotic behaviour of two-point functions in multi-species models

Karol Kajetan Kozlowski, E. Ragoucy

We extract the long-distance asymptotic behaviour of two-point correlation functions in massless quantum integrable models containing multi-species excitations. For such a purpose, we extend to these models the method of a large-distance regime re-summation of the form factor expansion of correlation functions. The key feature of our analysis is a technical hypothesis on the large-volume behaviour of the form factors of local operators in such models. We check the validity of this hypothesis on the example of the SU ( 3 ) -invariant XXX magnet by means of the determinant representations for the form factors of local operators in this model. Our approach confirms the structure of the critical exponents obtained previously for numerous models solvable by the nested Bethe Ansatz.

Large-distance asymptotic behaviour of multi-point correlation functions in massless quantum models

N Kitanine, Karol Kajetan Kozlowski, Jean Michel Maillet +1 more

We provide a microscopic model setting that allows us to readily access the large-distance asymptotic behaviour of multi-point correlation functions in massless, one-dimensional, quantum models. The method of analysis we propose is based on the form factor expansion of the correlation functions and does not build on any field theory reasoning. It constitutes an extension of the restricted sum techniques leading to the large-distance asymptotic behaviour of two-point correlation functions obtained previously.

Finite volume form factors and correlation functions at finite temperature

Balázs Pozsgay

In this thesis we investigate finite size effects in 1+1 dimensional integrable QFT. In particular we consider matrix elements of local operators (finite volume form factors) and vacuum expectation values and correlation functions at finite temperature. In the first part of the thesis we give a complete description of the finite volume form factors in terms of the infinite volume form factors (solutions of the bootstrap program) and the S-matrix of the theory. The calculations are correct to all orders in the inverse of the volume, only exponentially decaying (residual) finite size effects are neglected. We also consider matrix elements with disconnected pieces and determine the general rule for evaluating such contributions in a finite volume. The analytic results are tested against numerical data obtained by the truncated conformal space approach in the Lee-Yang model and the Ising model in a magnetic field. In a separate section we also evaluate the leading exponential correction (the $μ$-term) associated to multi-particle energies and matrix elements. In the second part of the thesis we show that finite volume factors can be used to derive a systematic low-temperature expansion for correlation functions at finite temperature. In the case of vacuum expectation values the series is worked out up to the third non-trivial order and a complete agreement with the LeClair-Mussardo formula is observed. A preliminary treatment of the two-point function is also given by considering the first nontrivial contributions.

Form factor approach to dynamical correlation functions in critical models

N Kitanine, Karol Kajetan Kozlowski, Jean Michel Maillet +2 more

We develop a form factor approach to the study of dynamical correlation functions of quantum integrable models in the critical regime. As an example, we consider the quantum non-linear Schrödinger model. We derive the long-distance/long-time asymptotic behavior of various two-point functions of this model. We also compute edge exponents and amplitudes characterizing the power-law behavior of dynamical response functions on the particle–hole excitation thresholds. These last results confirm predictions based on the non-linear Luttinger liquid method. Our results rely on a first principles derivation, based on a microscopic analysis of the model, without invoking, at any stage, any correspondence with a continuous field theory. Furthermore, our approach only makes use of certain general properties of the model, so that it should be applicable, possibly with minor modifications, to a wide class of (not necessarily integrable) gapless one-dimensional Hamiltonians.

Effective description of correlations for states obtained from conformal field theory

Benedikt Herwerth, Germán Sierra, J. I. Cirac +1 more

We study states of one- and two-dimensional spin systems that are constructed as correlators within the conformal field theory of a massless, free boson. In one dimension, these are good variational wave functions for $XXZ$ spin chains, and they are similar to lattice Laughlin states in two dimensions. We show that their $zz$ correlations are determined by a modification of the original free-boson theory. An expansion to quadratic order leads to a solvable, effective theory for the correlations in these states. Compared to the massless boson, there is an additional term in this effective theory that explains the behavior of the correlations: a polynomial decay in one dimension and at the edge of a two-dimensional system and an exponential decay in the bulk of a two-dimensional system. We test the validity of our approximation by comparing it to Monte Carlo computations.

Exact prefactors in static and dynamic correlation functions of one-dimensional quantum integrable models: Applications to the Calogero-Sutherland, Lieb-Liniger, and X X Z models

Aditya Shashi, Miłosz Panfil, Jean-Sébastien Caux +1 more

In this paper, we demonstrate a recently developed technique which addresses the problem of obtaining nonuniversal prefactors of the correlation functions of one-dimensional (1D) systems at zero temperature. Our approach combines the effective field theory description of generic 1D quantum liquids with the finite-size scaling of form factors (matrix elements) which are obtained using microscopic techniques developed in the context of integrable models. We thus establish exact analytic forms for the prefactors of the long-distance behavior of equal-time correlation functions as well as prefactors of singularities of dynamic response functions. In this paper, our focus is on three specific integrable models: the Calogero-Sutherland, Lieb-Liniger, and $XXZ$ models.
