Abstract: | Quasi 1D systems are systems of particles in domains which are of infinite extent in one direction and of uniformly bounded
size in all other directions, e.g., a cylinder of infinite length. The main result proven here is that for such particle systems
with Coulomb interactions and neutralizing background, the so-called “jellium”, at any temperature and at any finite-strip
width, there is translation symmetry breaking. This extends the previous result on Laughlin states in thin, 2D strips by Jansen
et al. (Commun Math Phys 285:503–535, 2009). The structural argument which is used here bypasses the question of whether the translation symmetry breaking is manifest
already at the level of the one particle density function. It is akin to that employed by Aizenman and Martin (Commun Math
Phys 78:99–116, 1980) for a similar statement concerning symmetry breaking at all temperatures in strictly 1D Coulomb systems. The extension is
enabled through bounds which establish tightness of finite-volume charge fluctuations. |
