Electron-electron correlations in a dynamical impurity system with a Fermi edge singularity
arXiv:1212.1868 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.87.165135
Abstract
We study spatial correlations in the ground state of a one-dimensional electron gas coupled to a dynamic quantum impurity. The system displays a non-trivial many-body effect known as the Fermi edge singularity: transitions between discrete internal states of the impurity have a power-law dependence on the internal energies of the impurity states. We present compact formulas for the static current-current correlator and the pair correlation function. These reveal that spatial correlations induced by the impurity decay slowly (as the third inverse power of distance) and have a power-law energy dependence, characteristic of the Fermi edge singularity.
