Correlation decay in fermionic lattice systems with power-law interactions at non-zero temperature

Abstract

We study correlations in fermionic lattice systems with long-range interactions in thermal equilibrium. We prove a bound on the correlation decay between anti-commuting operators and generalize a long-range Lieb-Robinson type bound. Our results show that in these systems of spatial dimension $D$ with, not necessarily translation invariant, two-site interactions decaying algebraically with the distance with an exponent $\alpha \ge 2D$, correlations between such operators decay at least algebraically with an exponent arbitrarily close to $\alpha$ at any non-zero temperature. Our bound is asymptotically tight, which we demonstrate by a high temperature expansion and by numerically analyzing density-density correlations in the 1D quadratic (free, exactly solvable) Kitaev chain with long-range pairing.
