8.2 Static structure factor <strong>and</strong> sum rules 113<br />

The behaviour of S(p) at small momenta can be described exactly us<strong>in</strong>g sum-rule arguments.<br />

Insert<strong>in</strong>g (8.8) <strong>in</strong>to (8.19) <strong>and</strong> (8.20) we can write<br />

<br />

In lowest order <strong>in</strong> p the Bogoliubov b<strong>and</strong>s ¯hωj(p) behave like<br />

Hence, the f-sum rule (8.26) can only be ensured at small p if<br />

¯hω1(p)| p→0 = cp , (8.28)<br />

¯hωj>1(p)| p→0 = const . (8.29)<br />

Z1(p) ∼ p, (8.30)<br />

Zj>1(p) ∼ p 2 . (8.31)<br />

Insert<strong>in</strong>g this result <strong>and</strong> (8.28,8.29) <strong>in</strong>to (8.18,8.27) we f<strong>in</strong>d that both the non-energy weighted<br />

sum rule (8.18) <strong>and</strong> the compressibility sum rule (8.20) are exhausted by the contribution from<br />

thefirstb<strong>and</strong>whenp → 0, high energy b<strong>and</strong>s giv<strong>in</strong>g rise to contributions of O(p 2 ). Thus, we<br />

can rewrite (8.18,8.20) <strong>in</strong> the form<br />

S(p)| p→0 = 1<br />

This shows that <strong>in</strong> the presence of 2-body <strong>in</strong>teractions the low-p behaviour of the static<br />

structure factor is entirely determ<strong>in</strong>ed by phonon correlations. This result holds for any value<br />

of s as long as gn = 0. In the absence of the optical lattice m ∗ = m <strong>and</strong> c co<strong>in</strong>cides with<br />

the Bogoliubov sound velocity cuni = gn/m of the uniform system. S<strong>in</strong>ce we can write<br />

m ∗ c = √ m ∗ κ −1 <strong>and</strong> both m ∗ <strong>and</strong> κ −1 <strong>in</strong>crease with s, we f<strong>in</strong>d that the presence of the lattice<br />

results <strong>in</strong> an enhanced suppression of the static structure factor at low values of p, as clearly<br />

shown <strong>in</strong> Figs.8.7 <strong>and</strong> 8.8.
