Abstract

It is shown that in dd-dimensional systems, the vertex corrections beyond the random phase approximation (RPA) or GW approximation scales with the power dβαd-\beta-\alpha of the Fermi momentum if the relation between Fermi energy and Fermi momentum is ϵfpfβ\epsilon_{\rm f}\sim p_{\rm f}^\beta and the interacting potential possesses a momentum-power-law of pα\sim p^{-\alpha}. The condition dβα<0d-\beta-\alpha<0 specifies systems where RPA is exact in the high-density limit. The one-dimensional structure factor is found to be the interaction-free one in the high-density limit for contact interaction. A cancellation of RPA and vertex corrections render this result valid up to second-order in contact interaction. For finite-range potentials of cylindrical wires a large-scale cancellation appears and found to be independent of the width parameter of the wire. The proposed high-density expansion agrees with the Quantum Monte Carlo simulations.
