Abstract:
The locality of correlation functions is considered for Fermi systems at nonzero temperature. We show that for all short-range, lattice Hamiltonians, the correlation function of any two fermionic operators decays exponentially with a correlation length which is of order the inverse temperature for small temperature. We discuss applications to numerical simulation of quantum systems at nonzero temperature.
