• Authors: Alexander G. Abanov, Dimitri M. Gangardt,
• Abstract summary: The problem involves determining the probability of the spontaneous formation of an empty interval in the ground state of the gas. By solving the hydrodynamic equations in imaginary time, we derive the analytic form of the emptiness instanton. This solution is expressed as an integral representation analogous to those used for correlation functions in Conformal Field Theory.

• Abstract: The emptiness formation problem is addressed for a one-dimensional quantum polytropic gas characterized by an arbitrary polytropic index $\gamma$, which defines the equation of state $P \sim \rho^\gamma$, where $P$ is the pressure and $\rho$ is the density. The problem involves determining the probability of the spontaneous formation of an empty interval in the ground state of the gas. In the limit of a macroscopically large interval, this probability is dominated by an instanton configuration. By solving the hydrodynamic equations in imaginary time, we derive the analytic form of the emptiness instanton. This solution is expressed as an integral representation analogous to those used for correlation functions in Conformal Field Theory. Prominent features of the spatiotemporal profile of the instanton are obtained directly from this representation.

  We study the propagator of the $1+1$ dimensional Salpeter Hamiltonian, describing a relativistic quantum particle with no spin. The analytical extension of the Hamiltonian in the complex plane allows us to formulate the equivalent problem, namely the B"aumer equation. This B"aumera corresponds to the Green function of a relativistic diffusion process that interpolates between Cauchy for small times and Gaussian diffusion for large times.

  We compute the entanglement entropy in 2-to-2 scattering of particles in a general setting. Since $sigma_textel$ is generally believed, and observed experimentally, to grow with the collision energy $sqrts$ in the high energy regime, the result suggests a "second law" of entanglement entropy for high energy collisions.

• Physical insights from imaginary-time density--density correlation functions [0.0]
  We argue that no analytic continuation is required as $F(mathbfq,tau)$ contains, by definition, the same physical information as $S(mathbfq,omega)$. Specifically, we show how we can directly extract key information such as the temperature or quasi-particle excitation energies from the $tau$-domain.
