The Fermi Edge Singularity and Boundary Condition Changing Operators
نویسنده
چکیده
The boundary conformal field theory approach to quantum impurity problems is used to study the Fermi edge singularity, occuring in the X-ray adsorption probablility. The deep-hole creation operator, in the effective lowenergy theory, changes the boundary condition on the conduction electrons. By a conformal mapping, the dimension of such an operator is related to the groundstate energy for a finite system with different boundary conditions at the two ends. The Fermi edge singularity is solved using this method, for the Luttinger liquid including back-scattering and for the multi-channel Kondo problem. Typeset using REVTEX

Evaluation of Fracture Parameters by Coupling the Edge-Based Smoothed Finite Element Method and the Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method
This paper presents a technique to evaluate the fracture parameters by combining the edge based smoothed finite element method (ESFEM) and the scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM). A semi-analytical solution is sought in the region close to the vicinity of the crack tip using the SBFEM, whilst, the ESFEM is used for the rest of the domain. As both methods satisfy the partition of unity...
متن کاملGradient catastrophe and Fermi-edge resonances in Fermi gas.
Any smooth spatial disturbance of a degenerate Fermi gas inevitably becomes sharp. This phenomenon, called the gradient catastrophe, causes the breakdown of a Fermi sea to multiconnected components characterized by multiple Fermi points. We argue that the gradient catastrophe can be probed through a Fermi-edge singularity measurement. In the regime of the gradient catastrophe the Fermi-edge sin...
متن کاملFemtosecond coherent dynamics of the fermi-edge singularity and exciton hybrid.
We study theoretically the coherent nonlinear optical response of doped quantum wells with several subbands. When the Fermi energy approaches the exciton level of an upper subband, the absorption spectrum acquires a characteristic double-peak shape originating from the interference between the Fermi-edge singularity and the exciton resonance. We demonstrate that, for off-resonant pump excitatio...
متن کاملTopological quantization of boundary forces and the integrated density of states
For quantum systems described by Schrödinger operators on the half-space Rd−1×R≤0 the boundary force per unit area and unit energy is topologically quantised provided the Fermi energy lies in a gap of the bulk spectrum. Under this condition it is also equal to the integrated density of states at the Fermi energy.
متن کاملBoundary massive sine-Gordon model at the free Fermi limit and RG flow of Casimir energy
RG flow of central charge ceff is investigated for the two boundary sine-Gordon model at the free Fermi limit. Thermodynamic Bethe ansatz approach is used to check the non-monotonic decreasing properties of ceff , its resonance, and the modification of ceff due to the mismatch of the periodicity of a Lagrangian parameter and that of the boundary scattering parameter. The detailed analysis uses ...
