From integrability to conductance, impurity systems

Abstract

We compute the DC conductance with two different methods, which both exploit the integrability of the theories under consideration. On one hand we determine the conductance through a defect by means of the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz and standard relativistic potential scattering theory based on a Landauer transport theory picture. On the other hand, we propose a Kubo formula for a defect system and evaluate the current-current two-point correlation function it involves with the help of a form factor expansion. For a variety of defects in a fermionic system we find excellent agreement between the two different theoretical descriptions.
