We have computed the sequence of memory functions
Kn(t) and their Laplace transforms, for the one-dimensional Ising model in a transverse field at T=\ensuremath{\infty}. The form of these functions shows explicitly why the Mori continued-fraction approach, with traditional truncation schemes, fails for this model.
The correlation functions ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{\mathrm{xx}}(R,t)$ and ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{\mathrm{yy}}(R,t)$ are calculated for the one-dimensional Ising model with a transverse field
h at
T=0. This model corresponds to the
XY model with $\ensuremath{\gamma}=1$, and is equivalent to the two-dimensional anisotropic (${J}_{1}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}$, ${J}_{2}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0$) Ising model. The additional dimension in the classical model is the imaginary time of the quantum model. For all values of
h, ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{\mathrm{yy}}(R,t)=\ensuremath{-}(\frac{1}{{h}^{2}})(\frac{{\ensuremath{\partial}}^{2}}{\ensuremath{\partial}{t}^{2}}){\ensuremath{\rho}}_{\mathrm{xx}}(R,t)$. At the critical field
h=hc=1, ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{\mathrm{xx}}(R,t)\ensuremath{\sim}{({R}^{2}\ensuremath{-}{t}^{2})}^{\frac{\ensuremath{-}1}{8}}$. For
h<1,h>1 the results already obtained for the
XY model are recovered. We give some consequences from this equivalence in higher dimension, concerning the behavior of the correlation function at the critical field at
T=0.
