A particle-hole excitation in a many-body system is not an eigenstate and, thus, evolves in time. The evolution at short times after an excitation with the energy є was created is the quadratic decay with the rate constant σ2(є). Later, after some set-in time τ(є), the exponential decay develops. It is governed by another rate constant γ(є).
We study the electron-boson model for the homogenous electron gas and use the first order (in boson propagator) cumulant expansion of the electron Green’s function. In addition to a quadratic decay in time upon triggering the excitation, we identify non-analytic terms in the time expansion similar to those found in the Fermi edge singularity phenomenon.
Finite systems (J. Chem. Phys., 135, 201103 (2011)) give an opportunity to test the conjectured behavior numerically as an exact solution of a many-body problem is feasible. We propose a simple model for the electron spectral function that links together all three aforementioned parameters and give a prescription how the energy uncertainty σ2(є) can be computed within the many-body perturbation theory.
