Comparing the Mori formalism and the green function methods

Abstract: Using a simple model described by a Hamiltonian of fermions coupled to bosons, we show that the relaxation function calculated via a low temperature approximation to the Mori memory function is similar, at least to lowest order, to the relaxation function calculated using a Green function formalism.The analytical calculation of dynamic properties of many-body systems is, in general, a difficult task to accomplish and most of the theoretical models that have been proposed to take account of this job involve -in… Show more

“…In the present work, we calculate the dynamical correlation function of this model using the equation of motion approach in conjunction with projection operator methods, following a procedure proposed originally by Reiter [15] and further developed by other authors [16]. This method is not limited to short-time and short-distance behaviour and has proven successful in the study of the classical and quantum Heisenberg models in one [17] and two dimensions [18,19], showing good agreement with experimental data, molecular dynamic simulations, and, also, with other theories [20].…”

“…In the present work, we calculate the relaxation function for the quantum one-dimensional integer spin S Heisenberg antiferromagnet taking into account the magnon-phonon coupling using the memory function method, following a procedure proposed originally by Reiter [8] and further developed by other authors [9]. This method has proven successful in the study of the classical and quantum Heisenberg models in one [10] and two dimensions [11,12], showing good agreement with experimental data, molecular dynamic simulations, and, also, with other theories [13]. For the purpose of numerical calculations we will take S = 1.…”

“…It was shown by Pires and Gouvea [13] that the memory function technique is equivalent to the Green's function approach (at least up to the second order) for the calculation of the phonon structure factor (and the amount of work involved in the calculation is the same). However, in the calculation of the symmetrized spin-spin correlation function we have a term with two boson operators in the component S z .…”

“…Here the center of mass variable is a macroscopic variable and is defined as a linear combination of the microscopic variables. Now in memory function formalism, it is shown that the effects of the rest of the microscopic variables on the dynamics of the macroscopic variable can be estimated systematically and is cast in a so called Memory function in different systems [12][13][14][15][16]. The reason behind the use of the term "memory" will be discussed in details in the next section.…”
