Low-dimensional fluctuations and pseudogap in Gaudin-Yang Fermi gases

Abstract

The pseudogap is a ubiquitous phenomenon in strongly correlated systems, such as high-T_{c} superconductors, ultracold atoms, and nuclear physics. Whereas pairing fluctuations inducing the pseudogap are known to be enhanced in low-dimensional systems, such effects have not been explored well in one of the most fundamental one-dimensional models, that is, Gaudin-Yang model. In this paper, we show how the pseudogap effect emerges in the single-particle excitation in this system using a diagrammatic approach. Fermionic single-particle spectra exhibit a unique crossover from the double-particle dispersion to the pseudogap state with increasing the attractive interaction and the number density at finite temperature. Surprisingly, our results of thermodynamic quantities in unpolarized and polarized gases show an excellent agreement with the recent quantum Monte Carlo and complex Langevin results, indicating the validity of our approach even in the region where the pseudogap appears.
