In tro dution One-dimensional in tegrable mo dels ha v e an imp ortan t role in the study of strongly orrelated systems. When the redued dimensionalit y mak es in tera- tion una v oidable, p erturbativ e te hniques an qui kly lo ose appliabilit y and o v er the y ears more sophistiated to ols ha v e b een dev elop ed to ta kle these problems. These to ols learly in v olv e ertain appro ximations and the existene of an exat solution for some mo dels an allo w to  he k their v alidit y . The on v en tional approa h in solving quan tum in tegrable mo del is kno wn as Bethe Ansatz (and its generalization). It is v ery suessful in onstruting the thermo dynamis of a system, but not v ery suitable to study its dynamis and the orrelation funtions, due to the inreasing omplexit y of its solutions. Ho w ev er, a v ery elegan t formalism w as dev elop ed using the Quan tum In v erse Sattering Metho d (QISM) [1 ℄ to express orrelation funtions as determinan ts of ertain in tegral op erators (F redholm determinan ts). In this formalism, the simplest orrelation funtion one an write is kno wn as the Emptiness F ormation Pr ob ability (EFP) and measures the probabilit y P ( R ) that a region of length 2 R is ompletely v oid of partiles. F or lattie mo dels, one is in terested in P ( n ) , the probabilit y that n onseutiv e lattie sites are empt y . In spin  hain, taking adv an tage of the Jordan-Wigner mapping b et w een partiles and spins, the same quan tit y an b e though t of as the Pr ob ability of F ormation of F err omagneti Strings (PFFS), i.e. the probabilit y that n onseutiv e spins are aligned in the same diretion. 2 One should notie that the EFP is an n -p oin t orrelator and is, therefore, a m u h more ompliated ob jet ompared to the usual t w o-p oin t orrelation funtions one normally studies in ondensed matter ph ysis. Ho w ev er, due to the strongly in terating nature of the 1-D mo del, the QISM tells us that it is in fat no w orse than other orrelators b et w een t w o p oin ts a length n apart and ev en somewhat simpler and more natural. Moreo v er, the EFP is one of those extended ob jets lik e the V on Neumann En trop y , or the Ren yi En trop y , that in reen t y ears ha v e attrated a lot of in terest b eause of their abilit y to apture global prop erties that w ere not observ ed b efore from the study of 2 -p oin t orrelation funtions. The latter quan tities are of ourse motiv ated b y studies of en tanglemen t and quan tum omputation, while the EFP arises naturally in the on test of in tegrable theories. Despite the laimed simpliit y , the alulation of the EFP is b y no means an easy task. F or some mo dels, the sp ei struture of the solution has allo w ed to nd the asymptoti b eha vior of the EFP as n → ∞ . F or instane, the EFP in the whole of the phase-diagram of the X Y mo del w as alulated in [2, 3, 4 , 5℄ using the theory of T o eplitz determinan ts, while for the ritial phase of the X X Z spin  hain the solution w as found in [ 6 , 7, 8℄ using a m ultiple-in tegral represen tation. The EFP has b een onsidered also for the 6 -v ertex mo del [9 , 10 , 11 ℄, for higher spins XXZ [12 ℄ and for dimer mo dels [13 ℄. W e also remark that high temp erature expansions of the EFP for Heisen b erg  hains ha v e b een studied in [14 , 15 , 16 ℄. A reen t review of the EFP an b e found in [ 5℄ or [17℄. Field theory approa hes are normally most suited for the alulation of large distane asymptotis of orrelation funtions, but on v en tional te hniques lik e those inspired b y the Luttinger Liquid paradigm (i.e. b osonization) are not appropriate for extended ob jets lik e the EFP and only apture its qualitativ e b eha vior, while b eing quan titativ ely unreliable, as it w as sho w ed in [18 ℄. The reason for this failure is that Luttinger Liquid is appliable only to lo w-energy exitations around the F ermi p oin ts, where the linear sp etrum appro ximation is v alid, while orrelators lik e the EFP in v olv e degrees of freedom v ery deep in the F ermi sea, where the whole sp etrum with its urv ature is imp ortan t. F or this reason, the eld theory alulation of the EFP requires a non-linear generalization of on v en tional b osonization, i.e. a true h ydro dynami desrip- tion of the system. In [17 ℄ it w as sho wn that, with su h a non-linear olletiv e desription a v ailable, the alulation of the EFP is p ossible b y emplo ying, for instane, an instan ton approa h. In this pap er, w e will extend the ma hinery dev elop ed in [17 ℄ and apply it to the spin-Calogero Mo del (sCM), for whi h a (gradien tless) h ydro dynami desription w as reen tly onstruted from its Bethe Ansatz solution [19℄. The sCM is the spin − 1 / 2 generalization [20, 21 , 22 ℄ of the w ell-kno wn Calogero- Sutherland mo del [23 ℄ and is dened b y the Hamiltonian H = − ¯ h 2 2 N X j =1 ∂ 2 ∂ x 2 j + ¯ h 2 2  π L  2 X j 6 = l λ ( λ − P j l ) sin 2 π L ( x j − x l ) , (1) where P j l is the op erator that ex hanges the p ositions of partiles j and l . W e 3  hose to analyze this Hamiltonian assuming it ats on fermioni partiles, whi h means that the ex hange term selets an an ti-ferromagneti ground state [ 19 ℄. The oupling parameter λ is tak en to b e p ositiv e and N is the total n um b er of partiles. In [19 ℄, a olletiv e desription of the mo del w as deriv ed using four h ydro dy- nami elds: the densit y of partile with spin up/do wn ρ ↑ , ↓ and their v elo ities v ↑ , ↓ . The Hamiltonian in terms of these elds is v alid only for slo wly ev olv- ing ongurations, where terms with deriv ativ es of the densit y elds an b e negleted. This desription is referred to as a gr adientless hydr o dynamis . In [19 ℄, this theory w as used to sho w the non-linear oupling b et w een the spin and  harge degrees of freedom b ey ond the Luttinger Liquid paradigm and it w as sho wn that, while a  harge exitation an ev olv e without aeting the spin se- tor (for instane for a spin singlet onguration), a spin exitation arries also some  harge with it, in a non-trivial w a y . The EFP for the sCM has not b een onsidered in the literature y et. F or the spin-less ase of the Calogero-Sutherland in teration, the asymptoti b eha vior of the EFP w as obtained using the form of the ground state w a v efuntion and thermo dynamial argumen ts [24 ℄ (see [5, 17 ℄ for details). It should b e noted that for ertain sp eial v alues of the oupling parameter λ , the spin-less theory is tigh tly link ed with Random Matrix Theory (RMT) and the EFP is the prob- abilit y of ha ving no energy eigen v alues in a giv en in terv al. F or these v alues of λ the EFP an b e alulated with m u h greater auray due to the additional struture pro vided b y RMT [26 ℄. If w e write the ground state of the system as Ψ G ( x 1 , x 2 , . . . , x N ) , the Empti- ness F ormation Probabilit y is dened as P ( R ) ≡ 1 h Ψ G | Ψ G i  | x j | >R d x 1 . . . d x N | Ψ G ( x 1 , . . . , x N ) | 2 , (2) or, follo wing [1 ℄ P ( R ) = lim α →∞ h Ψ G | e − α  R − R ρ c ( x ) d x | Ψ G i , (3) where ρ c ( x ) is the total partile densit y op erator ρ c ( x ) ≡ N X j =1 δ ( x − x j ) . (4) F or a mo del lik e the sCM, w e an also in tro due the EFPs for partiles with spin up or do wn separately P ↑ , ↓ ( R ) = lim α →∞ h Ψ G | e − α  R − R ρ ↑ , ↓ ( x ) d x | Ψ G i , (5) whi h will allo w us to disuss the EFP as w ell as the PFFS. The approa h w e use to alulate the EFPs ( 5) in this w ork is similar to what w as explained in [17 ℄. The idea is to onsider the system as a quan tum uid 4 ev olving in imaginary time (Eulidean spae). Then the EFP an b e onsidered as the probabilit y of a rare utuation that will deplete the region − R < x < R of partile at a giv en imaginary time (sa y τ = 0 ). With exp onen tial auray , the leading on tribution to this probabilit y omes from the ation alulated on the saddle p oin t solution (instan ton) satisfying the EFP b oundary ondition. In setion 2 w e will rst review the results of [19 ℄ and transform them in to an in triguing form where the dynamis an b e deoupled in to t w o indep enden t uids of spin-less Calogero-Sutherland partiles. This t w o-uid desription is one of the in teresting observ ations of this pap er. In setion 3 w e will explain the instan ton approa h and form ulate the problem in this language. In setion 4 w e will onen trate on a generalization of the EFP , the Depletion F ormation Probabilit y (DFP) whi h w as in tro dued in [18℄. This orrelator will allo w us to alulate the dieren t EFPs v ery eien tly b y taking its dieren t limits in setion 5. Most notieably , w e will deriv e the PFFS for the Haldane-Shastry mo del as the freezing limit of the sCM. In setion 6 and 7 w e will onsider t w o additional DFP problems. Instead of sp eifying b oundary onditions for b oth the spin and  harge setors of the uid as w e did in the previous setions, w e will no w relax these onditions and onstrain only one omp onen t at a time: this analysis suggests that an eetiv e spin- harge separation an b e onjetured for the EFP/DFP of the sCM. In setion 8 w e om bine all these results and suggest a ph ysial in terpretation of them. The nal setion on tains some onluding remarks. T o a v oid in terruptions in the exp osition, ertain te hnial formalities are mo v ed to the app endies and are organized as follo ws. In app endix A w e will revise and adapt the alulation of [17 ℄ to alulate the instan ton ation for our ases. In app endix B w e will rep eat this alulation in the linearized h ydro dynamis appro ximation or b osonization, to aid the disussions in setion 8 . 2. T w o-uid desription In [19 ℄ the gradien tless h ydro dynami desription for the sCM (1 ) w as de- riv ed in terms of densities and v elo ities of spin up and do wn partiles: ρ ↑ , ↓ ( t, x ) , v ↑ , ↓ ( t, x ) . Here, w e prefer to use densities and v elo ities of the majority and mi- nority spin: ρ 1 , 2 ( t, x ) , v 1 , 2 ( t, x ) , i.e. the subsript 1 ( 2 ) tak es the v alue ↑ or ↓ whi h ev er is most (least) abundan t sp eies: ρ 1 ≡ ρ ↑ + ρ ↓ + | ρ ↑ − ρ ↓ | 2 = ρ c + ρ s 2 , (6) ρ 2 ≡ ρ ↑ + ρ ↓ − | ρ ↑ − ρ ↓ | 2 = ρ c − ρ s 2 , (7) where w e in tro dued the  harge and spin densit y ρ c ( t, x ) = ρ ↑ + ρ ↓ = ρ 1 + ρ 2 , (8) ρ s ( t, x ) = | ρ ↑ − ρ ↓ | = ρ 1 − ρ 2 . (9) 5 Please note that whatev er sp eies is ma jorit y or minorit y is deided dynamially in ea h p oin t in spae and time. Under the ondition [19 ℄ | v 1 − v 2 | < π ρ s , (10) the Hamiltonian is H = 1 12 π ( λ + 1)  + ∞ −∞ d x  k 3 R 1 − k 3 L 1 + 1 2 λ + 1  k 3 R 2 − k 3 L 2   , (11) where k R 1 ,L 1 ≡ v 1 ± ( λ + 1) π ρ 1 ± λπ ρ 2 , k R 2 ,L 2 = ( λ + 1) v 2 − λv 1 ± (2 λ + 1 ) πρ 2 (12) are the four dr esse d F ermi momenta . It turns out that an auxiliary set of h ydro dynami v ariables deouples the Hamiltonian (11) in to the sum of t w o indep enden t spin-less Calogero-Sutherland uids a and b : H = H a + H b = X α = a,b  d x  1 2 ρ α v 2 α + π 2 λ 2 α 6 ρ 3 α  , (13) where ρ a ≡ k R 1 − k L 1 2 π λ a = ρ 1 + λ λ + 1 ρ 2 , (14) ρ b ≡ k R 2 − k L 2 2 π λ b = 1 λ + 1 ρ 2 , (15) v a ≡ k R 1 + k L 1 2 = v 1 , (16) v b ≡ k R 2 + k L 2 2 = ( λ + 1) v 2 − λv 1 , (17) λ a ≡ λ + 1 , (18) λ b ≡ ( λ + 1) (2 λ + 1) . (19) W e remark that b oth the auxiliary v ariables and the real v ariables satisfy the anonial omm utation relations, i.e. [ ρ α ( x ) , v β ( y )] = − i¯ hδ α,β δ ′ ( x − y ) , α, β = { 1 , 2 } ; { a, b } . (20) The form of the Hamiltonian (13 ) is one of the in teresting observ ation of this pap er, sine it allo ws us to redue the spin Calogero-Sutherland mo del in to a sum of t w o spin-less theories. Ea h of the terms in square bra k ets in (13 ) is the gradien tless Hamiltonian of a spin-less CS system with oupling onstan ts λ a,b giv en b y (18 , 19 ). In [17 ℄ the gradien tless h ydro dynamis of spin-less partiles, lik e the ones in (13 ) w as used to alulate the EFP from the asymptotis of an instan ton solution. In the next setion w e review this approa h and w e lea v e the mathematial details to app endix A. 6 3. The instan toni ation Let us p erform a Wi k's rotation to w ork in imaginary time τ ≡ i t . Note that this mak es the v elo ities in (12) imaginary ( v → i v ) and the k 's omplex n um b ers. The x − t plane is mapp ed in to the omplex plane spanned b y z ≡ x + i τ . F ollo wing [17 ℄, w e will alulate the EFP as an instan ton onguration (i.e. a lassial solution in Eulidean spae) that satises the b oundary ondition ρ α ( τ = 0; − R < x < R ) = 0 , α = 1 , 2 , c , (21) in the limit R → ∞ , i.e. R m u h bigger than an y other length sale in the system. This limit guaran tees that the gradien t-less h ydro dynamis (13 ) is v alid in the bulk of the spae-time. One w e ha v e the lassial solution of the equation of motion φ EFP that satises (21 ), a saddle-p oin t alulation giv es the EFP with exp onen tial auray as the ation S alulated on this optimal onguration [17 ℄: P ( R ) ≃ e −S [ φ EFP ] . (22) Of ourse, to uniquely sp eify the problem, the b oundary onditions at innit y ha v e to b e pro vided as w ell and w e will tak e them to b e those of an equilibrium onguration: ρ 1 ( τ , x ) x,τ →∞ → ρ 01 , v 1 ( τ , x ) x,τ →∞ → 0 , ρ 2 ( τ , x ) x,τ →∞ → ρ 02 , v 2 ( τ , x ) x,τ →∞ → 0 . (23) When ρ 01 = ρ 02 w e ha v e an asymptoti singlet state (the AFM in zero magneti eld). The ondition ρ 01 6 = ρ 02 an b e a hiev ed via a onstan t external magneti eld whi h w ould result in a nite equilibrium magnetization. It is easy to implemen t these b oundary onditions in our t w o-uid desription using ( 14 -17 ). The k ey p oin t for the alulation is that w e an represen t the h ydro dynami elds in terms of the dressed F ermi momen ta k R 1 , k R 2 (whi h in Eulidean spae b eome omplex and omplex onjugated to k L 1 , k L 2 resp etiv ely) through ( 12): k R 1 = λ a π ρ a + i v a , k R 2 = λ b π ρ b + i v b . (24) In [19 ℄, it w as sho wn that these k -elds propagate indep enden tly aording to 4 deoupled Riemann-Hopf equations ∂ τ w − i w∂ x w = 0 , w = k R,L ;1 , 2 . (25) These equations ha v e the general (impliit) solution w = F ( x + i wτ ) (26) where F ( z ) is an analyti funtion to b e  hosen to satisfy the b oundary ondi- tions. 7 Guided b y [17 ℄, the solution for an EFP problem is k R 1 = F a ( x + i k R 1 τ ) , k R 2 = F b ( x + i k R 2 τ ) , (27) with F a ( z ) ≡ λ a π ρ 0 a + λ a π η a  z √ z 2 − R 2 − 1  , (28) F b ( z ) ≡ λ b π ρ 0 b + λ b π η b  z √ z 2 − R 2 − 1  , (29) whi h automatially satisfy the onditions at innit y (23 ): ρ a ( τ , x → ∞ ) → ρ 01 + λ λ + 1 ρ 02 ≡ ρ 0 a , ρ b ( τ , x → ∞ ) → 1 λ + 1 ρ 02 , ≡ ρ 0 b , v a,b ( τ , x → ∞ ) → 0 , (30) while η a,b are t w o, p ossibly omplex, onstan ts that allo w to satisfy the EFP b oundary onditions (21). In app endix A w e sho w that the instan ton ation an b e expressed as a on tour in tegral where only the b eha viors of the solutions ( 27 ) at innit y and lose to the depletion region are needed, sa ving us the ompliation of solving the impliit equations in generalit y . Using the t w o-uid desription, the ation an b e written as the sum of t w o spin-less Calogero-Sutherland uids: from (96) w e ha v e S EFP = 1 2 π 2 R 2 X α = a,b λ α η α ¯ η α . (31) Before w e pro eed further, w e should men tion that the t w o-uid desrip- tion w e emplo y is v alid as long as the inequalit y ( 10 ) is satised. In fat, the solution (27 ) ould violate the inequalit y in a small region around the p oin ts ( τ , x ) = (0 , ± R ) . Ho w ev er, lose to these p oin ts the h ydro dynami desription is exp eted to b e somewhat pathologial, b eause gradien t orretions (whi h w e neglet) b eome imp ortan t. As it w as argued in [18 , 17 ℄, the on tributions that w ould ome to the EFP from these small regions are subleading and negligible, in the asymptoti limit R → ∞ w e onsider. Therefore, w e do not need to w orry ab out what happ ens near the p oin ts ( τ , x ) = (0 , ± R ) . Ho w ev er, a onsequene of the singular nature of these p oin ts is that, in our solution, the sp eies that onstitutes the ma jorit y (minorit y) spin in the region of depletion − R < x < R at τ = 0 , ould swit h and b eome minorit y (ma jorit y) at innit y . This ould b e imp ortan t to k eep in mind in in terpreting our form ulae, but our formalism already tak es that in to aoun t naturally . 4. Depletion F ormation Probabilit y It is more on v enien t to onsider a generalization of the EFP problem, alled Depletion F ormation Probabilit y (DFP) whi h w as in tro dued in [18℄. In h ydro- 8 dynami language the DFP b oundary onditions for the majority and minority spins are ρ 1 ( τ = 0; − R < x < R ) = ˜ ρ 1 , ρ 2 ( τ = 0; − R < x < R ) = ˜ ρ 2 . (32) The DFP is a natural generalization of the EFP (21 ) and it redues to it for ˜ ρ 1 , 2 = 0 . Of ourse, there is some am biguit y on the mirosopi denition of the DFP (see [18 , 17 ℄). One an, for instane, onsider it as the marosopi v ersion of the s -EFP in tro dued in [25 ℄. W e will rst alulate the DFP as the most general ase and later tak e the appropriate in teresting limits. In terms of the auxiliary elds w e in tro dued in (14 -17 ) to a hiev e the t w o- uids desription (13), the DFP b oundary onditions are ρ a ( τ = 0 , − R < x < R ) = ˜ ρ 1 + λ λ + 1 ˜ ρ 2 ≡ ˜ ρ a , ρ b ( τ = 0 , − R < x < R ) = 1 λ + 1 ˜ ρ 2 ≡ ˜ ρ b . (33) W e sp eify the parameters η 1 , 2 in (28 ,29 ) b y expressing the b oundary on- ditions (33) in terms of the dressed momen ta using ρ 1 = 1 π ( λ + 1)  Re k R 1 − λ 2 λ + 1 Re k R 2  , ρ 2 = 1 π (2 λ + 1) Re k R 2 , v 1 = Im k R 1 , v 2 = 1 λ + 1 h Im k R 2 + λ Im k R 1 i . (34) This leads to λ a η a = λ a ( ρ 0 a − ˜ ρ a ) = ( λ + 1)( ρ 01 − ˜ ρ 1 ) + λ ( ρ 02 − ˜ ρ 2 ) , λ b η b = λ b ( ρ 0 b − ˜ ρ b ) = (2 λ + 1) ( ρ 02 − ˜ ρ 2 ) . (35) It is no w straigh tforw ard to obtain the DFP b y substituting ( 35 ) in to (31). After some simple algebra w e get P DF P ( R ) = e xp ( − π 2 2 h λ ( ρ 0 c − ˜ ρ c ) 2 + ( ρ 01 − ˜ ρ 1 ) 2 + ( ρ 02 − ˜ ρ 2 ) 2 i R 2 ) = exp ( − π 2 2  ( λ + 1 2 ) ( ρ 0 c − ˜ ρ c ) 2 + 1 2 ( ρ 0 s − ˜ ρ s ) 2  R 2 ) , (36) where w e in tro dued a notation in terms of the  harge eld ( ρ 0 c = ρ 01 + ρ 02 , ˜ ρ c = ˜ ρ 1 + ˜ ρ 2 ) and of the spin eld ( ρ 0 s = ρ 01 − ρ 02 , ˜ ρ s = ˜ ρ 1 − ˜ ρ 2 ). Equation (36 ) is the main result of this w ork. T o understand it b etter, w e will onsider sev eral in teresting limits. 9 4.1. Asymptoti singlet state If no external magneti eld is applied, the equilibrium onguration of an an ti-ferromagneti system lik e the one w e onsider is in a singlet state. This means that in the b oundary onditions at innit y (23) w e should set ρ 01 = ρ 02 = ρ 0 . In this limit (36 ) redues to P singlet DF P ( R ) = e xp ( − π 2 2 h λ (2 ρ 0 − ˜ ρ c ) 2 + ( ρ 0 − ˜ ρ 1 ) 2 + ( ρ 0 − ˜ ρ 2 ) 2 i R 2 ) = exp ( − π 2 2  ( λ + 1 2 ) (2 ρ 0 − ˜ ρ c ) 2 + 1 2 ˜ ρ 2 s  R 2 ) . (37) 5. Emptiness F ormation Probabilit y By taking the limit ˜ ρ 1 , 2 = 0 w e an use (36 ) to alulate the dieren t EFPs. The probabilit y to nd the region − R < x < R at τ = 0 ompletely empt y of partiles is therefore P E F P ( R ) = e xp ( − π 2 2 h λ ( ρ 01 + ρ 02 ) 2 + ρ 2 01 + ρ 2 02 i R 2 ) = exp ( − π 2 2  ( λ + 1 2 ) ρ 2 0 c + 1 2 ρ 2 0 s  R 2 ) , (38) whi h b eomes P singlet E F P ( R ) = exp  − π 2 2 ( λ + 1 2 )(2 ρ 0 ) 2 R 2  (39) for the asymptoti singlet state. This is equiv alen t to the EFP of a spin-less Calogero-Sutherland system with oupling onstan t λ ′ = λ + 1 / 2 , see ( 43). This is onsisten t with the phase-spae piture pro vided in [ 19 ℄, in whi h it is explained that for a singlet state ea h partile o upies an area of π ( λ + 1 / 2) due to the exlusion statistis, while it w ould o up y an area π ( λ + 1 ) if it w ere alone. Therefore, in this on text, the  harge eld an b e though t of as desribing a spin-less Calogero system with oupling onstan t λ ′ = λ + 1 / 2 . 5.1. F r e e fermions with spin Setting the oupling parameter λ = 0 orresp onds to non-in terating (free) fermions with spins and this redues (36) to P free fermions DF P ( R ) = e xp ( − 1 4 [ π ( ρ 0 c − ˜ ρ c ) R ] 2 − 1 4 [ π ( ρ 0 s − ˜ ρ s ) R ] 2 ) = exp ( − 1 2 [ π ( ρ 01 − ˜ ρ 1 ) R ] 2 − 1 2 [ π ( ρ 02 − ˜ ρ 2 ) R ] 2 ) . (40) 10 This result is the same as the one obtained in [17 ℄. The EFP is then P free fermions E F P ( R ) = exp ( − 1 2 ( π ρ 01 R ) 2 − 1 2 ( π ρ 02 R ) 2 ) , (41) whi h agrees with the results obtained in the on text of Random Matrix Theory [26 , 24 ℄, where the subleading orretions w ere also found. 5.2. Spin-less Calo ger o-Sutherland mo del Of ourse, the prime  he k to our form ula for the DFP/EFP of the sCM is to tak e its spin-less limit ˜ ρ 2 = ρ 02 = 0 , whi h giv es P spin-less DF P ( R ) = exp ( − ( λ + 1) 2 π 2 ( ρ 01 − ˜ ρ 1 ) 2 R 2 ) , (42) P spin-less E F P ( R ) = exp ( − ( λ + 1) 2 π 2 ρ 2 01 R 2 ) , (43) in p erfet agreemen t with [17, 24 ℄ for a spin-less Calogero-Sutherland system with oupling λ ′ = λ + 1 . 5.3. Pr ob ability of F ormation of F err omagneti Strings If w e require the minorit y spin partiles to ompletely empt y the region − R < x < R at τ = 0 , w e are left only with the ma jorit y spin and w e reated a (partially) p olarized state. W e an refer to this ase as the Probabilit y of F ormation of P artially F erromagneti Strings (PFPFS) [18 , 17 ℄. Setting ˜ ρ 2 = 0 in (36 ) and lea ving ˜ ρ 1 nite w e ha v e P P F P F S ( R ) = exp ( − π 2 2 h λ ( ρ 01 − ˜ ρ 1 + ρ 02 ) 2 + ( ρ 01 − ˜ ρ 1 ) 2 + ρ 2 02 i R 2 ) . (44) The ab o v e is the probabilit y of formation of ferromagneti strings aompanied b y a partial depletion of partiles, sine in the region of depletion w e ha v e ˜ ρ c = ˜ ρ 1 . W e an imp ose that the a v erage densit y of partiles is onstan t ev erywhere b y setting ˜ ρ 1 = ρ 01 + ρ 02 = ρ 0 c , while still requiring all partiles in the region − R < x < R at τ = 0 to b e ompletely p olarized (maximal magnetization: PFFS) P P F F S ( R ) = exp  − [ πρ 02 R ] 2  . (45) Note that (45) is indep enden t of λ and exatly orresp onds to the Emptiness F ormation Probabilit y of a λ ′ = λ + 1 = 2 spin-less Calogero mo del with ba k- ground densit y giv en b y ρ 02 (43). In terestingly the same result (52 ) will b e deriv ed in the next setions as the EFP of minorit y spins, i.e. ˜ ρ 2 = 0 , in the Haldane-Shastry mo del (46 ). This is just another asp et of the w ell-kno wn re- lation b et w een spin-Calogero, Haldane-Shastry and λ ′ = 2 spin-less Calogero mo dels [27 , 19 ℄ as it will b e sho wn in the next setion. 11 5.4.
