Abstract—Nonlinear response functions of strongly correlated boson fields subject to an external perturbation are calculated. In particular, the second-order response functions and susceptibilities of finite-temperature BoseÐEinstein condensates (BECs) in a one-dimensional harmonic trap driven by an external field coupled to particle density are calculated by solving the time-dependent HartreeÐFockÐBogoliubov equations. These pro- vide additional insight into the BEC dynamics, beyond those of the linear response regime. We further demon- strate that the results directly apply to electron liquids in the fractional quantum Hall effect regime that can be mapped onto an effective boson system coupled to a ChernÐSimons gauge field.
1. INTRODUCTION ties were calculated [7]. In this paper, we extend the formalism of [7] to obtain the nonlinear response of The study of strongly correlated systems has been BEC and fractional quantum Hall system. one of the most vigorous areas of research in con- densed-matter physics. Some notable examples include Several dynamical theories exist for finite-tempera- BoseÐEinstein condensation and associated phenom- ture BEC that take into account higher order collision ena, such as superfluidity and superconductivity [1], processes. They include the HartreeÐFockÐBogoliubov and the quantum Hall effect in two-dimensional elec- (HFB) theory [8Ð11], the time-dependent BogoliubovÐ tron systems [2]. A useful tool for the study of such de Gennes equations [12], quantum kinetic theory [13Ð complex, correlated many-body systems is provided by 18], and stochastic methods [19Ð23].

Another attractive routinely analyzed in terms of multitime correlation feature of TDHFB from a purely pragmatic point of functions [3, 4]. view is that the fermionic version of the theory has already been well developed in nuclear physics [8].
