Interacting fermions in one dimension: from weak to strong correlation

We theoretically investigate in-medium two- and three-body correlations in one-dimensional spinless fermions with attractive two-body p-wave interaction. By investigating the variational problem of two- and three-body states above the Fermi sea, we elucidate the fate of the in-medium two- and three-body cluster states. The one-dimensional system with the strong p-wave interaction is found to be stable against the formation of three-body clusters even in the presence of the Fe...

This work deals with the one-dimensional Hubbard model. It has seven chapters: 1. Introduction; 2. The Hubbard Model; 3. Algebraic Representation for the Hilbert Space of the 1D Hubbard Model; 4. Pseudoparticle Perturbation Theory; 5. Excitations and Finite-Size Effects; 6. Zero-Temperature Transport; 7. Conclusions.

We develop an analytical method for calculating local correlations in strongly interacting 1D Bose gases, based on the exactly solvable Lieb-Liniger model. The results are obtained at zero and finite temperatures. They describe the interaction-induced reduction of local many-body correlation functions and can be used for achieving and identifying the strong-coupling Tonks-Girardeau regime in experiments with cold Bose gases in the 1D regime.

We review some aspects of the renormalization group method for interacting fermions. Special emphasis is placed on the application of scaling theory to quasi-one-dimensional systems at non zero temperature. We begin by introducing the scaling ansatz for purely one-dimensional fermion systems and its extension when interchain coupling and dimensionality crossovers are present at finite temperature. Next, we review the application of the renormalization group technique to the o...

I review in this chapter several classes of quantum phase transitions that occur in quasi-one dimensional systems. I start by examining the simple case of coupled spin chains and ladders, then move to the case of bosons, and finally deal with the more complicated and still largely open case of fermions.

The fermionization regime and entanglement correlations of two distinguishable harmonically confined fermions interacting via a zero-range potential is addressed. We present two alternative representations of the ground state that we associate with two different types of one-dimensional spaces. These spaces, in turn, induce different correlations between particles and thus require a suitable definition of entanglement. We find that the entanglement of the ground state is stro...

In a series of ten papers, of which this is the first, we prove that the temperature zero renormalized perturbation expansions of a class of interacting many-fermion models in two space dimensions have nonzero radius of convergence. The models have "asymmetric" Fermi surfaces and short range interactions. One consequence of the convergence of the perturbation expansions is the existence of a discontinuity in the particle number density at the Fermi surface. Here, we present a...

We consider a specific generalisation to spatial dimensions d greater than one of a formalism based upon conservation laws and the associated Ward identities, that exactly solves the one-dimensional Luttinger model, and expose its inadequacies for d > 1. We conclude that findings arrived at through application of this generalised formalism concerning systems of fermions with strong forward scattering, in particular that d=1 would be the cross-over dimension from Luttinger- to...

For over twenty years, ultra-cold atomic systems have formed an almost perfect arena for simulating different quantum many-body phenomena and exposing their non-obvious and very often counterintuitive features. Thanks to extremely precise controllability of different parameters they are able to capture different quantum properties which were previously recognized only as theoretical curiosities. Here, we go over the current experimental progress in exploring the curious one-d...

This is a pedagogical review on recent progress in the exact evaluation of physical quantities in interacting quantum systems at finite temperatures. 1D quantum spin chains are discussed in detail as typical examples.
