Abstract

We elucidate universal many-body properties of a one-dimensional, two-component ultracold Fermi gas near the pp-wave Feshbach resonance. The low-energy scattering in this system can be characterized by two parameters, that is, pp-wave scattering length and effective range. At the unitarity limit where the pp-wave scattering length diverges and the effective range is reduced to zero without conflicting with the causality bound, the system obeys universal thermodynamics as observed in a unitary Fermi gas with contact ss-wave interaction in three dimensions. It is in contrast to a Fermi gas with the pp-wave resonance in three dimensions in which the effective range is inevitably finite. We present the universal equation of state in this unitary pp-wave Fermi gas within the many-body TT-matrix approach as well as the virial expansion method. Moreover, we examine the single-particle spectral function in the high-density regime where the virial expansion is no longer valid. On the basis of the Hartree-like self-energy shift at the divergent scattering length, we conjecture that the equivalence of the Bertsch parameter across spatial dimensions holds even for a one-dimensional unitary pp-wave Fermi gas.
