Finite temperature Fredholm determinants for dynamical correlation functions

Abstract

We study the long-time, large-distance asymptotics of finite-temperature dynamical Fredholm determinants using effective form factors. The method expresses these asymptotics as a functional of an effective phase shift. We determine its two branches on either side of a quadratic stationary point and the transition profile joining them. The profile is expressed through parabolic-cylinder functions. Its connection to the high-temperature Gaussian $β$ ensemble fixes the finite normalization, in agreement with an independent Riemann--Hilbert analysis. We also show that the leading exponential asymptotics suffice to recover the Euler-scale prediction of generalized hydrodynamics for the dynamical structure factor of hard rods.

On the dynamics of free-fermionic tau-functions at finite temperature

Daniel Chernowitz, Oleksandr Gamayun

In this work we explore an instance of the \tau τ -function of vertex type operators, specified in terms of a constant phase shift in a free-fermionic basis. From the physical point of view this \tau τ -function has multiple interpretations: as a correlator of Jordan-Wigner strings, a Loschmidt Echo in the Aharonov-Bohm effect, or the generating function of the local densities in the Tonks-Girardeau gas. We present the \tau τ -function as a form-factors series and tackle it from four vantage points: (i) we perform an exact summation and express it in terms of a Fredholm determinant in the thermodynamic limit, (ii) we use bosonization techniques to perform partial summations of soft modes around the Fermi surface to acquire the scaling at zero temperature, (iii) we derive large space and time asymptotic behavior for the thermal Fredholm determinant by relating it to effective form-factors with an asymptotically similar kernel, and (iv) we identify and sum the important basis elements directly through a tailor-made numerical algorithm for finite-entropy states in a free-fermionic Hilbert space. All methods confirm each other. We find that, in addition to the exponential decay in the finite-temperature case the dynamic correlation functions exhibit an extra power law in time, universal over any distribution and time scale.

Asymptotic analysis of a Fredholm determinant occurring in the description of the dynamical correlation functions of the Lieb--Liniger Bose gas

Frank Göhmann, Karol Kajetan Kozlowski, Mikhail D. Minin

We perform a large-$x$ asymptotic analysis of the Fredholm determinant of an integrable integral operator with generalized sine kernel, where $x$ controls the strength of the oscillations along the integration contour of the operator and will play the role of the distance variable in applications to the correlation functions of integrable quantum systems. Our generalized sine kernel involves a number of functional parameters that will allow us to adapt it to the analysis of the dynamical correlation functions of the Lieb--Liniger model at finite temperature and for all positive values of the coupling constant. It will also allow us to consider a class of equilibrium correlation functions that are governed by generalized Gibbs ensembles. Our work is based on the analysis of a matrix Riemann--Hilbert problem that is canonically connected with our integrable integral operator.

Dynamical correlation functions in the Ising field theory

István Csépányi, Márton Kormos

We study finite temperature dynamical correlation functions of the magnetization operator in the one-dimensional Ising quantum field theory. Our approach is based on a finite temperature form factor series and on a Fredholm determinant representation of the correlators. While for space-like separations the Fredholm determinant can be efficiently evaluated numerically, for the time-like region it has convergence issues inherited from the form factor series. We develop a method to compute the correlation functions at time-like separations based on the analytic continuation of the space-time coordinates to complex values. Using this numerical technique, we explore all space-time and temperature regimes in both the ordered and disordered phases including short, large, and near-light-cone separations at low and high temperatures. We confirm the existing analytic predictions for the asymptotic behavior of the correlations except in the case of space-like correlations in the paramagnetic phase. For this case we derive a new closed form expression for the correlation length that has some unusual properties: it is a non-analytic function of both the space-time direction and the temperature, and its temperature dependence is non-monotonic.

The large time asymptotics of the temperature correlation functions of the XXO Heisenberg ferromagnetic: The Reimann-Hilbert approach

Xiaojun Jie

The finite temperature correlation functions of the time-dependent local spin operators of the Heisenberg XXO ferromagnet are considered. The Fredholm determinant representation for these correlation functions were obtained in 1992 by Colomo, Izergin, Korepin, and Tognetti. The problem addressed in this dissertation consists of the asymptotic analysis of the XXO correlation functions based on the determinant representations mentioned. The integral kernel involved in the Colomo-Izergin-Korepin-Tognetti determinant representations belongs to the class of “integrable kernels” which usually appear in the theory of exactly solvable statistical mechanics models, and also in the theory of random matrices. This makes it possible to analyze the large time behavior of the correlation functions in the framework of the Riemann-Hilbert approach. In the dissertation, the associated matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem is solved asymptotically via properly modified Deift-Zhou nonlinear steepest descent method. This in turn allows us to determine the structure of the long-time asymptotic series for the correlation functions and to evaluate explicitly the exponential, power-like pre-exponential, and the oscillatory factors of the asymptotics. A recursive procedure for evaluation of the corrections of any order, which is based on the relevant zero-curvature equation, is suggested as well.

Large-time and long-distance asymptotics of the thermal correlators of the impenetrable anyonic lattice gas

Yuri Zhuravlev, Eduard Naichuk, N. Z. Iorgov +1 more

We study thermal correlation functions of the one-dimensional impenetrable lattice anyons. These correlation functions can be presented as a difference of two Fredholm determinants. To describe the large-time and long-distance behavior of these objects, we use the effective form-factor approach. The asymptotic behavior is different in the spacelike and timelike regions. In particular, in the timelike region we observe the additional power factor on top of the exponential decay. We argue that this result is universal as it is related to the discontinuous behavior of the phase shift function of the effective fermions. At particular values of the anyonic parameter, we recover the asymptotics of the spin-spin correlation functions in the $XX$ quantum chain.

Effective free-fermionic form factors and the XY spin chain

Oleksandr Gamayun, N. Z. Iorgov, Yuri Zhuravlev

We introduce effective form factors for one-dimensional lattice fermions with arbitrary phase shifts. We study tau functions defined as series of these form factors. On the one hand we perform the exact summation and present tau functions as Fredholm determinants in the thermodynamic limit. On the other hand simple expressions of form factors allow us to present the corresponding series as integrals of elementary functions. Using this approach we re-derive the asymptotics of static correlation functions of the XY quantum chain at finite temperature.
