Abstract

The momentum, fermionic density, spin density, and interaction dependencies of the exponents that control the (k,ω)-plane singular features of the one-fermion spectral functions of a one-dimensional gas of spin-1/2 fermions with repulsive delta-function interaction both at zero and finite magnetic field are studied in detail. Our results refer to energy scales beyond the reach of the low-energy Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid and rely on the pseudofermion dynamical theory for integrable models. The one-fermion spectral weight distributions associated with the spectral functions studied in this paper may be observed in systems of spin-1/2 ultra-cold fermionic atoms in optical lattices.

Summary

Introduction

The one-dimensional (1D) continuous fermionic gas with repulsive delta-function interaction, which in this paper we call 1D repulsive fermion model, was one of the first quantum problems solved by the Bethe ansatz (BA) [1]. Our main goal is deriving the (k, ω)-plane line shape near the singularities of the spectral functions in Eq (2) at zero spin density, m = 0, and in Eq (4) for m > 0 This includes the detailed study of the dependence of the exponents that control that line shape on the excitation momentum, repulsive interaction C, fermionic density n ∈ [0, ∞[, and spin-density m ∈ [0, n]. [40] for the related lattice 1D Hubbard model, which applies to other integrable systems as well [41,42,43], including the present 1D repulsive fermion model For the latter we use in our study an exact representation suitable to the PDT in terms of pseudofermions of that model BA solution in the subspace spanned by the ground state and one-fermion excited energy eigenstates.
