The momentum distribution function and spin-correlation functions are studied for the one-dimensional large-U Hubbard model with an emphasis on the effects of the magnetic field. A direct calculation of the correlation functions is carried out with the exact wave function, whose explicit form for the large-U limit was derived in a previous paper. Singularities are detected at ${\mathit{k}}_{\mathit{F}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\sigma}}}$ and ${\mathit{k}}_{\mathit{F}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\sigma}}}$+2${\mathit{k}}_{\mathit{F}\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\sigma}}}$ in the momentum distribution function ${\mathit{n}}_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\sigma}}}$(k), where ${\mathit{k}}_{\mathit{F}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\sigma}}}$ is the Fermi wave number of the noninteracting electrons with a given magnetization. Similarly, the longitudinal spin-correlation function
Szz(k) has singularities at 2${\mathit{k}}_{\mathit{F}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\uparrow}}}$ and 2${\mathit{k}}_{\mathit{F}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\downarrow}}}$, while the transverse one
Sxx(k) is singular at ${\mathit{k}}_{\mathit{F}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\uparrow}}}$+${\mathit{k}}_{\mathit{F}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\downarrow}}}$ and ${\mathit{k}}_{\mathit{F}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\uparrow}}}$-${\mathit{k}}_{\mathit{F}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\downarrow}}}$. The nature of the singularities (i.e., critical exponents) is determined from an analysis of the size dependence. As a complementary approach, those critical exponents for the U/t\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty} limit are explicitly calculated with conformal field theory. In this limit the exponents depend only on the magnetization and are independent of the electron density. The resulting exponents are consistent with the first results.
We present a general method for the calculation of correlation functions in the repulsive one-dimensional Hubbard model at less than half-filling in a magnetic field h. We describe the dependence of the critical exponents that drive their long-distance asymptotics on the Coulomb coupling, the density, and h. This dependence can be described in terms of a set of coupled Bethe-Ansatz integral equations. It simplifies significantly in the strong-coupling limit, where we give explicit formulas for the dependence of the critical exponents on the magnetic field. In particular, we find that at small field the functional dependence of the critical exponents on h can be algebraic or logarithmic---depending on the operators involved. In addition, we evaluate the singularities of the Fourier images of the correlation functions. It turns out that switching on a magnetic field gives rise to singularities in the dynamic field-field correlation functions that are absent at h=0.
