Abstract

Based on the ballistic macroscopic fluctuation theory, the integration of the spin correlation function (spin conductivity) is analyzed for the spin-1/2 XXZ chain in the critical regime. In the time when the magnetization of an infinite spin chain fluctuates from an initial state with a wavelength as long as the infinite length NN, the equal-time two-point spin correlation function is scaled up to O(1/N)O(1/N). In the state where the ballistic spin transport decays at high temperature TT, the diffusive transport remains on a large scale. We show that the spin conductivity is proportional to 1/T1/T in the limit TT\to\infty and its high temperature proportionality constant diverges in the case where one-quasiparticle magnetization is infinitely large. This analysis informs that the superdiffusive spin transport is driven by the 1/N1/N-scaled long-range spin correlation and sheds a light on the dynamic scaling in spin transport at the isotropic point.
