Universal correlations of one-dimensional interacting electrons at low density

Frank Göhmann

Abstract: I report on a recent calculation of the asymptotics of dynamical correlation functions of the impenetrable electron gas at finite temperature. The calculation is based on a determinant representation of the correlation functions. The determinant representation enables the derivation of a nonlinear differential equation that drives the correlations and of a corresponding Riemann-Hilbert problem. The differential equation and the Riemann-Hilbert problem are used to calculate the large-time, long-distance asymptotics of the correlation functions. These asymptotics are universal for a large class of interesting one-dimensional models of interacting electrons in their low density phase, which has been called the gas phase.
