We continue to study frequency-dependent complex bulk viscosities of one-dimensional Bose and
Fermi gases with contact interactions, which exhibit the weak-strong duality according to our recent
work. Here we show that they are contributed to by Drude peaks divergent at zero frequency as
typical for transport coefficients of quantum integrable systems in one dimension. In particular, their
Drude weights are evaluated based on the Kubo formula in the high-temperature limit at arbitrary
coupling as well as in the weak-coupling and strong-coupling limits at arbitrary temperature, where
systematic expansions in terms of small parameters are available. In all three limits, the Drude
peaks are found at higher orders compared to the finite regular parts.
I. INTRODUCTION
A nonvanishing Drude weight indicates a divergent
transport coefficient at zero frequency and serves as di-
agnostics of whether the transport is ballistic or diffu-
sive [1]. A simple example of ballistic transports is pro-
vided by a mass transport for fluids with translational in-
variance, where the mass current (i.e., momentum) can-
not dissipate due to its conservation law [2]. On the
other hand, an energy transport is typically diffusive for
interacting systems because the energy current is noncon-
served. However, quantum integrable systems in one di-
mension have been found so exceptional that their Drude
weights remain nonvanishing for various transports even
when corresponding currents are nonconserved [3, 4].
This is because a macroscopic number of conservation
laws allows the currents to have some overlaps with con-
served quantities. Since then, anomalous conductivities
of quantum integrable systems in one dimension have
been subjected to active study from both theoretical and
experimental perspectives [5–8].
In spite of such active study, little attention has been
paid so far to another transport coefficient possible in one
dimension, that is, the bulk viscosity [9, 10]. Recently,
we showed in Ref. [11] that the frequency-dependent com-
plex bulk viscosity of a Bose gas with a contact interac-
tion known as the Lieb-Liniger model [12, 13] is iden-
tical to that of a dual Fermi gas known as the Cheon-
Shigehara model [14] at the same scattering length a. In
particular, it is the weak-strong duality, where one sys-
tem at weak coupling corresponds to the other system at
strong coupling so that the bulk viscosity in the strong-
coupling regime can be accessed with the perturbation
theory of the dual system. Their bulk viscosities were
then computed in the high-temperature, weak-coupling,
and strong-coupling limits, where systematic expansions
in terms of small parameters are available, and found to
be finite with no Drude peaks at their leading orders [11].
The purpose of this paper is to go one step further
beyond the leading orders and show that the frequency-
dependent complex bulk viscosities of one-dimensional
Bose and Fermi gases with contact interactions indeed
have the structure of
ζ(ω) = ζreg(ω) + iD
ω+i0+,(1)
where the first term on the right-hand side is the finite
regular part and the second term is the Drude peak di-
vergent at zero frequency. In particular, we will evaluate
the Drude weights Dbased on the Kubo formula in the
high-temperature limit at arbitrary coupling as well as
in the weak-coupling limit at arbitrary temperature for
bosons in Sec. III and for fermions in Sec. IV. The two
results in the high-temperature limit are also useful to
confirm the Bose-Fermi duality explicitly, whereas those
in the weak-coupling limit are applicable to the Fermi
and Bose gases in the strong-coupling limit, as indicated
in Fig. 1.
We will set ~=kB= 1 throughout this paper and
the bosonic and fermionic frequencies in the Matsub-
ara formalism are denoted by p0= 2πn/β and p0
0=
2π(n+ 1/2)/β, respectively, for n∈Zand β= 1/T .
Also, an integration over wave number or momentum
is denoted by Rp≡R∞

FIG. 1. Bulk viscosities of Bose and Fermi gases are eval-
uated in the high-temperature limit as well as in the weak-
coupling limit, which corresponds to a→ −∞ for bosons
(BG) and a→ −0 for fermions (FG) [11]. The system is
thermodynamically unstable at a > 0.
