DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS FOR QUANTUM CORRELATION FUNCTIONS

Abstract

The quantum nonlinear Schrödinger equation (one dimensional Bose gas) is considered. Classification of representations of Yangians with highest weight vector permits us to represent correlation function as a determinant of a Fredholm integral operator. This integral operator can be treated as the Gelfand-Levitan operator for some new differential equation. These differential equations are written down in the paper. They generalize the fifth Painlève transcendent, which describe equal time, zero temperature correlation function of an impenetrable Bose gas. These differential equations drive the quantum correlation functions of the Bose gas. The Riemann problem, associated with these differential equations permits us to calculate asymp-totics of quantum correlation functions. Quantum correlation function (Fredholm determinant) plays the role of τ functions of these new differential equations. For the impenetrable Bose gas space and time dependent correlation function is equal to τ function of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation itself, For a penetrable Bose gas (finite coupling constant c) the correlator is τ-function of an integro-differentiation equation.
