Abstract

Introduction Impenetrable bosons in one space dimension are a special case (at coupling constant c → ∞) of the one-dimensional Bose gas (NS model) considered in detail in Chapter I. The results obtained there for the NS model can be specialized to the case of impenetrable bosons. It is to be said that all the formulæe are considerably simplified in this case. From the point of view of physics this is due to the fact that the δ-function potentials in the N -particle Hamiltonian (I.1.11) are now infinitely strong and the bosons cannot penetrate one another, so that the wave function should be equal to zero if the bosons' coordinates coincide. In this respect impenetrable bosons are rather similar to free fermions (see Appendix I.I). In this chapter correlation functions of impenetrable bosons are considered and their representations as Fredholm determinants of linear integral operators are given. The (very essential) simplification with respect to the general case is due to the fact that now all the auxiliary quantum fields can be set equal to zero (see IX.6), so that the kernels of these operators do not contain quantum fields. The determinant representation for the time-dependent correlator is easy to obtain in this case. Temperature correlation functions are considered as well as zero temperature ones.

Correlation Function of Fields

V. E. Korepin, N. M. Bogoliubov, Anatoli G. Izergin

Introduction The aim of this chapter is to obtain the determinant representation for the equal-time correlation function 〈Ψ † ( x )Ψ(0)〉 in the nonrelativistic one-dimensional Bose gas (NS model). To apply the approach of the previous chapters, one has to introduce local fields Ψ † ( x ), Ψ(0) into the two-site generalized model. This is done in section 1. In section 2, the formula for the matrix elements of the operator Ψ † ( x )Ψ(0) in the generalized model are derived. In terms of the auxiliary quantum fields introduced in section 3, this formula is transformed to the vacuum mean value of the determinant with respect to the vacuum in the auxiliary Fock space. The determinant representation for the mean value of the operator Ψ † ( x )Ψ(0) with respect to the N -particle Bethe eigenstate is derived in section 4. The derivation is similar to that of the previous chapter. It is also similar to that of section 6 of Chapter IX. The derivation is based on the representation of the determinant of the sum of two matrices in terms of the minors of the individual matrices. The explicit formula is given in the Appendix to Chapter IX. In section 5 expressions for the correlation function in the ground state of the one-dimensional Bose gas (zero and finite temperature) are obtained and the thermodynamic limit is also considered. Local fields in the generalized model To consider local quantum fields Ψ † ( x )Ψ(0) in the frame of the two-site generalized model, one has to clarify the structure of the monodromy matrices T(1|λ), T(2|λ) (see section XI.1, formulæe (XI.1.6)–(XI.1.12)).

Differential Equations for Correlation Functions

V. E. Korepin, N. M. Bogoliubov, Anatoli G. Izergin

Introduction The natural language for the description of correlation functions in exactly solvable models is the language of differential equations. The determinant representation of correlation functions in the previous chapter can be used to obtain these differential equations. An ordinary differential equation (of the Painlevètype) for the equal-time, zero temperature correlation function of the impenetrable Bose gas was obtained in. In that paper (starting from Lenard's formula for the two-point zero temperature equal-time correlator of impenetrable bosons) it was shown that the correlator is described by an ordinary differential equation (reducible to the Painlevè trascendent), and multipoint zero temperature equal-time correlators were also described as solutions of differential equations. The considerations in that paper were based on the spectral isomonodromic deformation method. Our approach here is different. We begin by considering the logarithm of the determinant of the linear integral operator entering the representation for the correlator as a τ-function for some integrable nonlinear evolutionary system. Then the linear integral equations playing the role of the Gel'fand-Levitan-Marchenko equations for this integrable system are constructed. The differential equations for correlators are derived, in fact, from these integral equations (it is worth mentioning that the idea of obtaining the differential equations from the integral ones can be found in. This approach permits one to include time- and temperature-dependent correlators for impenetrable bosons in the same framework. It is remarkable that space- and time-dependent correlation functions are derived by partial differential equations which almost coincide with the original classical nonlinear Schrödinger equation, the only difference being that complex involution is dropped.

The Matrix Riemann-Hilbert Problem for Correlation Functions

V. E. Korepin, N. M. Bogoliubov, Anatoli G. Izergin

Introduction In the previous chapters correlation functions were represented as determinants of a special form of Fredholm integral operator. First, a differential equation was obtained for the time-independent zero temperature field correlation function for the impenetrable Bose gas (it depends only on one variable—distance). By means of an isomonodromic deformation technique A. Jimbo, T. Miwa, Y. Mori and M. Sato wrote down the ordinary differential equation (of Painlevè type). In the previous chapter differential equations for correlation functions in more general situations (with time, temperature and for finite coupling) were constructed. A.R. Its came up with the idea of applying the matrix Riemann problem for the description of these correlation functions (Fredholm determinants). This permits us to write down partial differential equations (completely integrable) for correlation functions and evaluate the asymptotics of correlation functions. Below we follow this line. Integrable nonlinear partial differential equations for correlation functions of the one-dimensional nonrelativistic Bose gas with point-like repulsion between gas particles were given in section XIV. So quantum correlation functions can be expressed in terms of the solutions of classical nonlinear integrable evolution systems. These classical systems have been investigated already by means of the classical inverse scattering method. Our approach allows one, in particular, to solve the particularly interesting problem of calculating the asymptotics of correlators at large time and distance; this is done in the next section.

DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS FOR QUANTUM CORRELATION FUNCTIONS

Alexander Rudol'fovich Its, Anatoli G. Izergin, V. E. Korepin +1 more

The quantum nonlinear Schrödinger equation (one dimensional Bose gas) is considered. Classification of representations of Yangians with highest weight vector permits us to represent correlation function as a determinant of a Fredholm integral operator. This integral operator can be treated as the Gelfand-Levitan operator for some new differential equation. These differential equations are written down in the paper. They generalize the fifth Painlève transcendent, which describe equal time, zero temperature correlation function of an impenetrable Bose gas. These differential equations drive the quantum correlation functions of the Bose gas. The Riemann problem, associated with these differential equations permits us to calculate asymp-totics of quantum correlation functions. Quantum correlation function (Fredholm determinant) plays the role of τ functions of these new differential equations. For the impenetrable Bose gas space and time dependent correlation function is equal to τ function of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation itself, For a penetrable Bose gas (finite coupling constant c) the correlator is τ-function of an integro-differentiation equation.

Correlation functions of the Sine-Gordon model (which is equivalent to the Massive-Thirring model) are considered at the free fermion point. We derive a determinant formula for local correlation functions of the Sine-Gordon model, starting from Bethe ansatz wave function. Kernel of integral operator is trigonometric version of the one for Impenetrable Bosons.

We consider a multiple integral representation for the finite temperature density-density correlation functions of the one-dimensional Bose gas with delta function interaction in the limits of infinite and vanishing repulsion. In the former case a known Fredholm determinant is recovered. In the latter case a similar expression appears with permanents replacing determinants.
