Equilibrium time-correlation functions of the long-range interacting Fermi-Pasta-Ulam model
2019
We present a numerical study of dynamical correlations (structure factors) of the long-range generalization of the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam oscillator chain, where the strength of the interaction between two lattice sites decays as a power $\alpha$ of the inverse of their distance. The structure factors at finite energy density display distinct peaks, corresponding to long-wavelength propagating modes, whose dispersion relation is compatible with the predictions of the linear theory. We demonstrate that dynamical scaling holds, with a dynamical exponent $z$ that depends weakly on $\alpha$ in the range $1<\alpha<3$. The lineshapes have a non-trivial functional form and appear somehow independent of $\alpha$. Within the accessible time and size ranges, we also find that the short-range limit is hardly attained even for relatively large values of $\alpha$.
