The one-dimensional (1D) Yang-Gaudin model--an integrable
δ-function interacting Fermi gas, serves as a paradigm in quantum many-body physics, encompassing phenomena from spin-charge separation to the Luther-Emery liquid. However, a consistent description of the Luther-Emery liquid and the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO)-like pairing states in the 1D attractive Fermi gas remains elusive. In this work, we develop a universal Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL) theory to describe the FFLO state both for the case of weak and strong binding between fermions of opposite spins. We rigorously derive a low-energy effective Hamiltonian using bosonization, revealing the emergence of a two-component TLL: one exhibiting spin-charge coupling in the weak binding regime, and another featuring charge-charge separation in the strong binding regime. For the weak binding regime, we further derive renormalization-group equations for the sine-Gordon term in the spin sector and show that this term undergoes a relevant-irrelevant phase transition driven by the magnetic field. We further analyze the dynamical correlation functions of the FFLO pairing state based on the effective Hamiltonian we constructed. Finally, we discuss experiments using ultracold atoms to elucidate the Luther-Emery liquid behavior and the subtle phenomena of spin-charge coupling and charge-charge separation.
We derive the first few terms of the asymptotic expansion of the Fredholm equations for one-dimensional
κ-component fermions with repulsive and with attractive delta-function interaction in strong and weak coupling regimes. We thus obtain a highly accurate result for the ground state energy of a multicomponent Fermi gas with polarization for these regimes. This result provides a unified description of the ground state properties of the Fermi gas with higher spin symmetries. However, in contrast to the two-component Fermi gas, there does not exist a mapping that can unify the two sets of Fredholm equations as the interacting strength vanishes. Moreover, we find that the local pair correlation functions shed light on the quantum statistic effects of the
κ-component interacting fermions. For the balanced spin case with repulsive interaction, the ground state energy obtained confirms Yang and You's result [Chin. Phys. Lett. {\bf 28}, 020503 (2011)] that the energy per particle as
κ→∞ is the same as for spinless Bosons.
