A generalization of the Stillinger-Lovett sum rules for the two-dimensional jellium (Q2460275)

For the sake of the jellium, model of mobile charges immersed in a neutralizing background, the charge and the second moment of the screening cloud around a particle put in this medium is given by the Stillinger-Lovett sum rule. Here this zeroth and second moment Stillinger-Lovett sum rules for the charge correlation functions are generalized to the presence of a guest charge immersed in the bulk interior of the \(Rn\) jellium. The one component jellium of mobile \(q\)-charges with a guest charge \(Zq\) may be seen as the limit of a ``two component'' jellium, where there are two types of charges, of \(q\) and \(Zq\), and the density of \(Zq\) charges tends to zero. Such a model has been studied by McMillan and Mayer, the density of particles of charge \(Zq\) was considered to be small. The situation is that the sum rules hold only for specific densities of the two components which globally minimize the free energy, the sum rule contains however the derivatives of the particle densities with respect to the background charge. That is why the alternative proof of the new sum rules for one guest charge in the jellium cannot be calculated. Here the generalized sum rules are applied to the screening clound induced around a pointlike guest change \(Zq\) immersed in the bulk interion with the coupling constant \(\Gamma= \beta qe\) (\(\beta\) is the inverse temperature). The derivation uses a mapping technique of the 2D jellium onto a discrete 1D anticommunting field theory. The results are checked both in the Debye-Hückel limit \(\Gamma\to 0\) and at the free fermion point \(\Gamma= 2\).
