Order-Parameter Correlation Functions in Quantum Critical Phenomena

Abstract

We investigate the functional form of the order-parameter (two-point) correlation function in quantum critical phenomena. Contrary to the common lore, when there is no particle-hole symmetry we find that the equal-time correlation function at criticality does not display a diverging correlation length. We illustrate our conclusions by Monte Carlo calculations of the quantum rotor model in d=2d=2 space dimensions
