Wilson ratio of Fermi gases in one dimension
We calculate the Wilson ratio of the one-dimensional Fermi gas with spin
imbalance. The Wilson ratio of attractively interacting fermions is solely
determined by the density stiffness and sound velocity of pairs and of excess
fermions for the two-component Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL) phase. The ratio
exhibits anomalous enhancement at the two critical points due to the sudden
change in the density of states. Despite a breakdown of the quasiparticle
description in one dimension, two important features of the Fermi liquid are
retained, namely the specific heat is linearly proportional to temperature
whereas the susceptibility is independent of temperature. In contrast to the
phenomenological TLL parameter, the Wilson ratio provides a powerful parameter
for testing universal quantum liquids of interacting fermions in one, two and
three dimensions.Comment: 5+2 pages, 4+1 figures, Eq. (4) is proved, figures were refine
Universal local pair correlations of Lieb-Liniger bosons at quantum criticality
The one-dimensional Lieb-Liniger Bose gas is a prototypical many-body system
featuring universal Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL) physics and free fermion
quantum criticality. We analytically calculate finite temperature local pair
correlations for the strong coupling Bose gas at quantum criticality using the
polylog function in the framework of the Yang-Yang thermodynamic equations. We
show that the local pair correlation has the universal value in the quantum critical regime, the TLL phase and the
quasi-classical region, where is the pressure per unit length rescaled by
the interaction energy with interaction
strength and linear density . This suggests the possibility to test
finite temperature local pair correlations for the TLL in the relativistic
dispersion regime and to probe quantum criticality with the local correlations
beyond the TLL phase. Furthermore, thermodynamic properties at high
temperatures are obtained by both high temperature and virial expansion of the
Yang-Yang thermodynamic equation.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, additional text and reference

Single-molecule super-resolution imaging of chromosomes and in situ haplotype visualization using Oligopaint FISH probes
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a powerful single-cell technique for studying nuclear structure and organization. Here we report two advances in FISH-based imaging. We first describe the in situ visualization of single-copy regions of the genome using two single-molecule super-resolution methodologies. We then introduce a robust and reliable system that harnesses single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to visually distinguish the maternal and paternal homologous chromosomes in mammalian and insect systems. Both of these new technologies are enabled by renewable, bioinformatically designed, oligonucleotide-based Oligopaint probes, which we augment with a strategy that uses secondary oligonucleotides (oligos) to produce and enhance fluorescent signals. These advances should substantially expand the capability to query parent-of-origin-specific chromosome positioning and gene expression on a cell-by-cell basis
