Abstract

The response functions of the one-dimensional Fermi gas with backscattering are studied using an equivalence of the spin-density part of the Fermi Hamiltonian to the sine-Gordon Hamiltonian. The singlet spin-density response function is evaluated in functional-integral form, using a transfer-matrix technique. For low temperatures and large distances, this function is found to be unity. The triplet response function is found, in a harmonic approximation, to be zero. These results support the proposal by Luther and Emery that the singular behavior of the Fermi-gas response functions is determined solely by the charge-density modes. Also supported is the rather intuitive picture, based on a mapping to the two-dimensional Coulomb gas, of Chui and Lee.
