Abstract

The system under consideration is a two-dimensional one-component plasma in fluid regime, at density n and at arbitrary coupling Gamma=beta e^2 (e=unit charge, beta = inverse temperature). The Helmholtz free energy of the model, as the generating functional for the direct pair correlation c, is treated in terms of a convergent renormalized Mayer diagrammatic expansion in density. Using specific topological transformations within the bond-renormalized Mayer expansion we prove that the nonzero contributions to the regular part of the Fourier component of c up to the k^2-term originate exclusively from the ring diagrams (unable to undertake the bond-renormalization procedure) of the Helmholtz free energy. In particular, c(k)=-Gamma/k^2 + Gamma/(8 pi n) - k^2/[96(pi n)^2] + O(k^4). This result fixes via the Ornstein-Zernike relation, besides the well-known zeroth-, second- and fourth- moment sum rules, the new six-momnt condition for the truncated pair correlation h, n(pi Gamma n/2)^3 Integral r^6 h(r) d^2 r = 3(Gamma-6)(8-3 Gamma)/4.
