Abstract

This Thesis discusses approaches to calculating static and dynamic correlation functions in onedimensional gases of interacting bosons. The first part of the Thesis deals with the momentummomentum correlation function in the weakly interacting 1D Bose gas. In the regime of phase fluctuating quasicondensate this correlator is found to differ qualitatively from the form predicted by Bogoliubov theory of the true condensate in that correlations between any two values of momentum become finite. Linear hydrodynamics used to calculate the quasicondensate correlation function prove to be adequate. A classical field approximation is used to smoothly interpolate between the quasicondensate and strongly degenerate gas regimes. In the second part the focus is shifted to the dynamical structure factor and it is shown that hydrodynamics is generally inapplicable to calculating the dynamical correlators. The hydrodynamic treatment is enhanced using impurity theory and an exact model-dependent boundary is obtained for the region of applicability of hydrodynamics on the momentum-energy plane. Numerical estimates show that non-hydrodynamic behavior should be observable for the currently available values of experimental parameters.
