Abstract

Phase transition in quantum systems in two space-time dimensions takes place at zero temperature. A general formula is obtained for the critical exponent describing the power decrease of zero-temperature correlation functions as long distances. This formula is valid for a large class of Bethe ansatz solvable models including the Heisenberg magnet and the one-dimensional Bose gas. The critical exponent is connected with the fractional charge; it is also expressed in terms of macroscopic characteristics of the models.
