Correlation functions in scalar field theory at large charge
Abstract: We compute general higher-point functions in the sector of large charge operators $\phin$, $\bar\phin$ at large charge in $O(2)$ $(\bar \phi\phi)2$ theory. We find that there is a special class of "extremal" correlators having only one insertion of $\bar \phin$ that have a remarkably simple form in the double-scaling limit $n\to \infty $ at fixed $g\,n2\equiv \lambda$, where $g\sim\epsilon $ is the coupling at the $O(2)$ Wilson-Fisher fixed point in $4-\epsilon$ dimensions. In this limit, also non-extremal correlators can be computed. As an example, we give the complete formula for $ \langle \phi(x_1){n}\,\phi(x_2){n}\,\bar{\phi}(x_3){n}\,\bar{\phi}(x_4){n}\rangle$, which reveals an interesting structure.
