Abstract

We obtain a closed-form analytical expression for the zero temperature Fourier transform of the 2kF2k_F component of the density-density correlation function in a Luttinger liquid with different spin and charge velocities. For frequencies near the spin and charge singularities approximate analytical forms are given and compared with the exact result. We find power law like singularities leading to either divergence or cusps, depending on the values of the Luttinger parameters and compute the corresponding exponents. Exact integral expressions and numerical results are given for the finite temperature case as well. We show in particular how the temperature rounds the singularities in the correlation function.
