Asymptotic analysis of dynamical correlation functions of the Lieb-Liniger model

Abstract

This PhD thesis is devoted to the study of the long-time and large-distance asymptotic behaviour of the dynamical field--field correlation function of the Lieb--Liniger model in the limit of infinite repulsion (the one-dimensional impenetrable Bose gas). Extending previous works we consider a large class of non-thermal equilibrium conditions in addition to the case of thermal equilibrium that had been studied before. Our starting point is an exact representation of the field--field correlation function as the Fredholm determinant of an integrable integral operators. The integrable operator depends parametrically on time t, distance x and on the filling fraction, which is a function that characterizes the thermal or non-thermal equilibrium conditions. Our work is based on the rigorous asymptotic analysis, using Riemann--Hilbert techniques, of a more general integral operator that depends on two more functional parameters. The long-time and large-distance behaviour of the field--field correlation function is derived for two classes of filling fractions. These classes are characterized by the number of poles on the real axis (a generalization of Fermi points) that, together with the unique saddle point, contribute to the asymptotic expansion. For each class, we derive the long-time and large-distance asymptotic behaviour as a series in x^(-1/2) as x and t go to infinity for a fixed ratio x / t. We provide explicit closed-form expressions for the leading and sub-leading terms, logarithmic corrections, and overall constants in terms of special functions and simple integrals. For the impenetrable Bose gas in thermal equilibrium, we verify the derived asymptotic expansions by comparing them with the existing results in the literature and with numerical data. Our analysis is based solely on the analytic properties of the functions parametrizing the kernel of the integrable integral operator. This generalized approach will enable future applications to the long-time and large-distance asymptotic analysis of the Lieb--Liniger model with finite coupling constant.

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.

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.

One-dimensional impenetrable anyons in thermal equilibrium: III. Large distance asymptotics of the space correlations

Ovidiu I Pâţu, V. E. Korepin, D. V. Averin

Using the determinant representation for the field-field correlation functions of impenetrable anyons at finite temperature obtained in a previous paper, we derive a system of nonlinear partial differential equations completely characterizing the correlators. The system is the same as the one for impenetrable bosons but with different initial conditions. The large-distance asymptotic behavior of the correlation functions is obtained from the analysis of the Riemann-Hilbert problem associated with the system of differential equations. We calculate both the exponential and pre-exponential factors in the asymptotics of the field-field correlators. The asymptotics derived in this way agree with those of the free fermions and impenetrable bosons in the appropriate limits, $κ\to 1$ and $κ\to 0$, of the statistics parameter $κ$, and coincide with the predictions of the conformal field theory at low temperatures.

Time and Temperature Dependent Correlation Functions of the One-Dimensional Impenetrable Electron Gas

Frank Göhmann, Anatoli G. Izergin, V. E. Korepin +1 more

We consider the one-dimensional delta-interacting electron gas in the case of infinite repulsion. We use determinant representations to study the long time, large distance asymptotics of correlation functions of local fields in the gas phase. We derive differential equations which drive the correlation functions. Using a related Riemann–Hilbert problem we obtain formulae for the asymptotics of the correlation functions, which are valid at all finite temperatures. At low temperatures these formulae lead to explicit asymptotic expressions for the correlation functions, which describe power law behavior and exponential decay as functions of temperature, magnetic field and chemical potential.

One-dimensional impenetrable anyons in thermal equilibrium: IV. Large time and distance asymptotic behavior of the correlation functions

Ovidiu I Pâţu, V. E. Korepin, D. V. Averin

This work presents the derivation of the large time and distance asymptotic behavior of the field-field correlation functions of impenetrable one-dimensional anyons at finite temperature. In the appropriate limits of the statistics parameter, we recover the well-known results for impenetrable bosons and free fermions. In the low-temperature (usually expected to be the "conformal") limit, and for all values of the statistics parameter away from the bosonic point, the leading term in the correlator does not agree with the prediction of the conformal field theory, and is determined by the singularity of the density of the single-particle states at the bottom of the single-particle energy spectrum.

Non-Equilibrium Steady State of the Lieb-Liniger model: multiple-integral representation of the time evolved many-body wave-function

Spyros Sotiriadis

We continue our study of the emergence of Non-Equilibrium Steady States in quantum integrable models focusing on the expansion of a Lieb-Liniger gas for arbitrary repulsive interaction. As a first step towards the derivation of the asymptotics of observables in the thermodynamic and large distance and time limit, we derive an exact multiple integral representation of the time evolved many-body wave-function. Starting from the known but complicated expression for the overlaps of the initial state of a geometric quench, which are derived from the Slavnov formula for scalar products of Bethe states, we eliminate the awkward dependence on the system size and distinguish the Bethe states into convenient sectors. These steps allow us to express the rather impractical sum over Bethe states as a multiple rapidity integral in various alternative forms. Moreover, we examine the singularities of the obtained integrand and calculate the contribution of the multivariable kinematical poles, which is essential information for the derivation of the asymptotics of interest.
