Antiferromagnetic Covariance Structure of Coulomb Chain

Abstract: We consider a system of particles on a finite interval with Coulomb 3-dimensional interactions between close neighbours, i.e. only a few other neighbours apart. This model was introduced by Malyshev [Probl. Inf. Transm. 51 (2015) 31-36] to study the flow of charged particles. Notably even the nearest-neighbours interactions case, the only one studied previously, was proved to exhibit multiple phase transitions depending on the strength of the external force when the number of particles goes to infinity. Here we include as well interactions beyond the nearest-neighbours ones. Surprisingly but this leads to qualitatively new features even when the external force is zero. The order of the covariances of distances between pairs of consecutive charges is changed when compared with the former nearest-neighbours case, and moreover the covariances exhibit periodicity in sign: the interspacings are positively correlated if the number of interspacings between them is odd, otherwise, they are negatively correlated. In the course of the proof we derive Gaussian approximation for the limit distribution for dependent variables described by a Gibbs distribution.
