Abstract

We study the average density of NN spinless noninteracting fermions in a 2d2d harmonic trap rotating with a constant frequency Ω\Omega and in the presence of an additional repulsive central potential γ/r2\gamma/r^2. The average density at zero temperature was recently studied in Phys. Rev. A 103\textbf{103}, 033321 (2021) and an interesting multi-layered "wedding cake" structure with a "hole" at the center was found for the density in the large NN limit. In this paper, we study the average density at finite temperature. We demonstrate how this "wedding-cake" structure is modified at finite temperature. These large NN results warrant going much beyond the standard Local Density Approximation. We also generalize our results to a wide variety of trapping potentials and demonstrate the universality of the associated scaling functions both in the bulk and at the edges of the "wedding-cake".
