    Integral TQFT for a one-holed torus

    Full text link
    We give new explicit formulas for the representations of the mapping class group of a genus one surface with one boundary component which arise from Integral TQFT. Our formulas allow one to compute the h-adic expansion of the TQFT-matrix associated to a mapping class in a straightforward way. Truncating the h-adic expansion gives an approximation of the representation by representations into finite groups. As a special case, we study the induced representations over finite fields and identify them up to isomorphism. The key technical ingredient of the paper are new bases of the Integral TQFT modules which are orthogonal with respect to the Hopf pairing. We construct these orthogonal bases in arbitrary genus, and briefly describe some other applications of them.Comment: 18 pages, 8 figures. version 3: Minor expository changes. Bibliography update

    Analytical expression for a post-quench time evolution of the one-body density matrix of one-dimensional hard-core bosons

    Full text link
    We apply the logic of the quench action to give an exact analytical expression for the time evolution of the one-body density matrix after an interaction quench in the Lieb-Liniger model from the ground state of the free theory (BEC state) to the infinitely repulsive regime. In this limit there exists a mapping between the bosonic wavefuntions and the free fermionic ones but this does not help the computation of the one-body density matrix which is sensitive to particle statistics. The final expression, given in terms of the difference of the square root of two Fredholm determinants, can be numerically evaluated and is valid in the thermodynamic limit and for all times after the quench.Comment: 24 pages, 2 figur

    High-momentum tail in the Tonks gas under harmonic confinement

    Full text link
    We use boson-fermion mapping to show that the single-particle momentum distribution in a one-dimensional gas of hard point-like bosons (Tonks gas) inside a harmonic trap decays as p4p^{-4} at large momentum pp. The relevant integrals expressing the one-body density matrix are evaluated for small numbers of particles in a simple Monte Carlo approach to test the extent of the asymptotic law and to illustrate the slow decay of correlations between the matter-wave field at different points.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures, accepted for publication in Phys.
