Fermions at unitarity: local operators, operator product expansion and dynamic structure factor

Dam Thanh Son, University of Washington


We discuss the notions of local operators and operator product expansion in the theory of fermions with unitarity. We give the interpretation of the Tan's parameter as the expectation value of a local operator. We then calculate of the dynamic structure factor of a unitary Fermi gas at large frequencies and wavenumbers.
