Infrared singularities in one-dimensional fermi systems

  • Published:

Abstract

We study the infrared problem in one-dimensional Fermi systems with general interactions including backward scattering. The singular structure of the ground state energy which is a function of two coupling parametersu andv is determined exactly. For attractiveu-coupling one has power law singularities inv with a characteristic singular exponentk varying continuously withu. This behavior is reminiscent of a phase transition of continuous order and is obtained here by exploiting the analogy of the 1-d Fermi system and a 2-d classical plasma with a long range logarithmic Coulomb potential and a short range cut off. We also discuss other recent approaches to the problem.
