Fourth cluster and virial coefficients of a unitary Fermi gas for an arbitrary mass ratio

Abstract

We calculate the fourth cluster coefficients of the homogeneous unitary spin 1/2 Fermi gas as functions of the internal-state mass ratio, over intervals constrained by the 3- or 4-body Efimov effect. For this we use our 2016 conjecture (validated for equal masses by Hou and Drut in 2020) in a numerically efficient formulation making the sum over angular momentum converge faster, which is crucial at large mass ratio. The mean cluster coefficient, relevant for equal chemical potentials, is not of constant sign and increases rapidly close to the Efimovian thresholds. We also get the fourth virial coefficients, which we find to be very poor indicators of interaction-induced 4-body correlations. We obtain analytically for all $n$ the cluster coefficients of order $n$ + 1 for an infinity-mass impurity fermion, matching the conjecture for $n=3$. Finally, in a harmonic potential, we predict a non-monotonic behavior of the 3 + 1 cluster coefficient with trapping frequency, near mass ratios where this coefficient vanishes in the homogeneous case.
