Dynamic Correlation Functions for Quantum Spin Chains

Abstract

New exact results are presented on the long-time asymptotic expansions of the $T=0\mathrm{}$ autocorrelation functions, and on the leading singularities of their frequency-dependent Fourier transforms, for the one-dimensional $S=\frac{1}{2}$ isotropic $\mathrm{XY}$ model and the $S=\frac{1}{2}$ transverse Ising model at the critical field. High-precision numerical calculations of the latter functions are also given, and experiments are proposed to observe the functional behaviors that are found.
