Bifurcation in kinetic equation for interacting Fermi systems

Klaus Morawetz

The recently derived nonlocal quantum kinetic equation for dense interacting Fermi systems combines time derivatives with finite time stepping known from the logistic mapping. This continuous delay differential equation is a consequence of the microscopic delay time representing the dynamics of the deterministic chaotic system. The responsible delay time is explicitly calculated and discussed for short-range correlations. As a novel feature oscillations in the time evolution of the distribution function itself appear and bifurcations up to chaotic behavior occur. The temperature and density conditions are presented where such oscillations and bifurcations arise indicating an onset of phase transition.

KINETIC EQUATION FOR NON-IDEAL FERMI GAS

I. B. Aleksandrov, Yu. A. Kukharenko, A. V. Niukkanen

A kinetic equation for a space-heterogeneous fermi ion system with non- locai interaction potential was developed by means of perturbation theory. The equation was used to analyze a weakly heterogeneous system. Energy spectrum damping as a result of strong pairing correlations was indicated. (tr-auth)

Derivation of a matrix-valued Boltzmann equation for the Hubbard model

Martin L R Fürst, Jani Lukkarinen, Peng Mei +1 more

For the spin-1/2 Fermi–Hubbard model, we derive the kinetic equation valid for weak interactions by using a time-dependent perturbation expansion up to second order. In recent theoretical and numerical studies, the kinetic equation has merely been stated without further details. In this contribution, we provide the required background material.

On the asymptotic behavior at the kinetic time of a weakly interacting Fermi gas

Peter S. Madsen, Phan Thành Nam, Herbert E. Spohn +1 more

This paper is devoted to the dynamics of a weakly interacting Fermi gas at the kinetic time regime $t\sim λ^{-2}$ where $λ\ll 1$ is the strength of the interaction potential. We prove that if the initial state is close to equilibrium, then the two-point time correlation function of the many-body quantum dynamics can be computed effectively. In fact, we show that its leading order behavior is determined completely by the collisional frequency of the Boltzmann-Nordheim collision operator at equilibrium. This settles a prediction by Lukkarinen-Spohn, and thus gives a justification of the quantum Boltzmann equation from many-body quantum mechanics.

Real-time evolution of quenched quantum systems

Michael Möckel

The study of the interplay between interaction-induced correlations and nonequilibrium initial conditions in many-body systems has recently attracted a lot of attention. New experimental techniques provide high control over many-body systems and systematic access to their nonequilibrium regime. In many systems the nonequilibrium properties of a Fermi liquid can be relevant. A first approach to their understanding is the main content of this thesis. At the beginning, nonequilibrium phenomena, Landau's theory of a Fermi liquid, the Hubbard model, time evolution in quantum mechanics, related experiments, and the flow equation method are reviewed. The key observation of this thesis, namely a characteristic mismatch of expectation values in equilibrium and nonequilibrium, is first illustrated for the squeezed oscillator. For this one-particle model Hamiltonian the perturbative approach can be compared with the exact solution and it is shown that the mismatch holds even beyond perturbation theory. Afterwards these observations are generalized to a larger class of one-particle models. Then the nonequilibrium behavior of a Fermi liquid is examined by analyzing the Fermi liquid phase of the Hubbard model in more than one dimension. After a sudden switch-on of a weak two-particle interaction to the noninteracting Fermi gas the relaxation of the many-body system is observed. For this purpose, the flow equation transformation is implemented for the Hubbard Hamiltonian. Then the discussion of the momentum distribution function and of the kinetic energy displays a three-step relaxation behavior of the Fermi liquid from the initial perturbation until thermalization is reached. Firstly, the sudden switch inserts excitation energy into the system which drives the following dynamics. Then a rapid initial build-up of correlations is caused by initial dephasing and leads to the establishment of a quasiparticle picture. By that the system enters into a quasi-stationary state which can be long-lasting for weak interaction. This state shows prethermalization of the kinetic energy which already has relaxed to its final values. However, the momentum distribution still resembles a zero temperature Fermi liquid. Its later relaxation on a second time scale is caused by a residual two-particle interaction which allows for scattering processes and can be described by a quantum Boltzmann equation. The physical origin of this delayed relaxation can be traced back to an interplay of translational invariance of the Hubbard model and the Pauli principle for fermions; together they restrict the phase space for scattering events. Comparing with similar work I conjecture on the generic nature of the findings made for the quenched Fermi liquid in other many-body systems. Finally I point out to the potential relevance of the delayed relaxation for the observation of further nonequilibrium phenomena, for instance in BCS systems. In order to extend the study of sudden switching to arbitrary switching processes the calculation is repeated using the Keldysh perturbation theory. First evaluations for a linear increase of the interaction strength are given. Extensions of this work are suggested and may motivate further research.
