Expanded Vandermonde Powers and Sum Rules for the Two-Dimensional One-Component Plasma

Abstract

The two-dimensional one-component plasma (2dOCP) is a system of N mobile particles of the same charge q on a surface with a neutralizing background. The Boltzmann factor of the 2dOCP at temperature T can be expressed as a Vandermonde determinant to the power Γ=q2/(kBT). Recent advances in the theory of symmetric and anti-symmetric Jack polynomials provide an efficient way to expand this power of the Vandermonde in their monomial basis, allowing the computation of several thermodynamic and structural properties of the 2dOCP for N values up to 14 and Γ equal to 4, 6 and 8. In this work we explore two applications of this formalism, to the study of the pair correlation function of the 2dOCP on ..
