Exact spectral functions of a non-Fermi liquid in one dimension

Abstract

We study the exact one-electron propagator and spectral function of a solvable model of interacting electrons due to Schulz and Shastry. The solution previously found for the energies and wave functions is extended to give spectral functions that turn out to be computable, interesting, and nontrivial. They provide one of the few examples of cases where the spectral functions are known asymptotically as well as exactly.

Single-particle Green functions in exactly solvable models of Bose and Fermi liquids

Girish S. Setlur, Yia-Chung Chang

Based on a class of exactly solvable models of interacting Bose and Fermi liquids, we compute the single-particle propagators of these systems exactly for all wavelengths and energies and in any number of spatial dimensions. The field operators are expressed in terms of Bose fields that correspond to displacements of the condensate in the Bose case and displacements of the Fermi sea in the Fermi case. Unlike some of the previous attempts, the present attempt reduces the answer for the spectral function in any dimension in both Fermi and Bose systems to quadratures. It is shown that when only the lowest-order sea-displacement terms are included, is the random-phase approximation in its many guises recovered in the Fermi case, and Bogoliubov's theory in the Bose case. The momentum distribution is evaluated using two different approaches, exact diagonalization and the equation of motion approach; the novelty being, of course, the exact computation of single-particle properties including short-wavelength behavior.

Transfer of spectral weight in an exactly solvable model of strongly correlated electrons in infinite dimensions

Götz Möller, Andrei E. Ruckenstein, Stefan Schmitt-Rink

We study the simplest nontrivial model that describes a basic feature of strongly correlated systems, namely, the transfer of spectral weight between high- and low-energy excitations. We use the limit of infinite dimensions to calculate exactly the corresponding single-particle and optical-conductivity spectra. We comment on the relevance of these results to a recently proposed scenario for the breakdown of Fermi-liquid theory in strongly correlated metals.

Non-Fermi-liquid behavior due to short-range order

Ross H. McKenzie, David Scarratt

An exactly soluble one-dimensional model of electrons interacting with order-parameter fluctuations associated with short-range order is considered. The energy and momentum dependence of the electronic self-energy and spectral function are calculated and found to exhibit non-Fermi-liquid features similar to that seen for the two-dimensional Hubbard model: a pseudogap, shadow bands, anomalies in the self-energy, and breakdown of the quasiparticle picture. Deviations from Fermi-liquid behavior are largest close to the Fermi surface and as the correlation length increases.

Anyons in generalized Luttinger liquid models

K.-V. Pham, M. Gabay, Pascal Lederer

Schulz and Shastry recently introduced a new class of exactly solvable one-dimensional models with non-Fermi-liquid physics. First, we show that this behavior is caused by the existence of anyonic excitations ( i.e. states with non-trivial conformal spin) with charge [(δ)/(2π)], where δ is the phase shift of the potential. Since δ is an arbitrary real number, these anyons may therefore carry an irrational charge. Next, in view of this result we revisit the general classification of non-Fermi-liquid two-species gapless 1D models: while it is usually thought that c = 1 × c = 1 theories form a four-parameter space, we establish that the most general non-relativistic conformal field theory has ten parameters. This defines a single larger universality class with sub-manifolds associated with the standard Luttinger liquid (with spin-charge separation), and the Schulz-Shastry class of models.

On the spectral properties of inhomogeneous Luttinger liquids

Manuel Simonato

The physics of one-dimensional systems of interacting fermions strongly differs from the picture offered by Fermi liquid theory. The low-energy properties of metallic, paramagnetic 1D Fermi systems are well described by the Luttinger liquid (LL) theory. Among other properties, the homogeneous LL is known to exhibit power-law behaviour for various correlation functions. For spin rotational invariant models, the exponents can be expressed in terms of a single parameter Kρ, which is known to be non-universal. The LL concept emerged in the study of homogeneous systems with periodic boundary condition (PBC). In these models the local spectral function shows a power-law suppression at energies asymptotically close to the chemical potential µ. Theoretically, this is very well understood and the exact LL parameter Kρ is known for a set of integrable models. In the last decades however, the interest shifted towards the investigation of LLs with PBC including impurities. The fact that these systems have been shown to scale to chains with open ends led to the study of several models where open boundary condition (OBC) are introduced. As the translational invariance is broken, the exponent of the power-law suppression close to the boundary differs from the one in the bulk. The present work is devoted to the study of the local spectral function of two lattice models of LLs with open boundaries, namely the spinless fermions model with nearest neighbour interaction and the 1D Hubbard model, with the methods of perturbation theory. It is demonstrated that many aspects of the spectral properties can be understood within the HF theory. Despite what one usually reads about one-dimensional interacting Fermi systems, in the presence of the boundary perturbation theory is already capable of providing meaningful results. Concurrently, this method also allows us to develop an understanding of the dip appearing in the local spectral function at an energy different from the chemical potential.
