Correlations in the Sine-Gordon Model with Finite Soliton Density
We study the sine-Gordon (SG) model at finite densities of the topological
charge and small SG interaction constant, related to the one-dimensional
Hubbard model near half-filling. Using the modified WKB approach, we find that
the spectrum of the Gaussian fluctuations around the classical solution
reproduces the results of the Bethe ansatz studies. The modification of the
collective coordinate method allows us to write down the action, free from
infra-red divergencies. The behaviour of the density-type correlation functions
is non-trivial and we demonstrate the existence of leading and sub-leading
asymptotes. A consistent definition of the charge-raising operator is
discussed. The superconducting-type correlations are shown to decrease slowly
at small soliton densities, while the spectral weight of right (left) moving
fermions is spread over neighboring "4k_F" harmonics.Comment: 12 pages, 3 eps figures, REVTEX; a discussion of fermions is adde
Fluctuations and correlations in sandpile models
We perform numerical simulations of the sandpile model for non-vanishing
driving fields and dissipation rates . Unlike simulations
performed in the slow driving limit, the unique time scale present in our
system allows us to measure unambiguously response and correlation functions.
We discuss the dynamic scaling of the model and show that
fluctuation-dissipation relations are not obeyed in this system.Comment: 5 pages, latex, 4 postscript figure
