Abstract

An effective, low temperature, classical model for spin transport in the one-dimensional, gapped, quantum O(3) nonlinear σ model is developed. Its correlators are obtained by a mapping to a model solved earlier by Jepsen. We obtain universal functions for the ballistic-to-diffusive crossover and the value of the spin diffusion constant, and these are claimed to be exact at low temperatures. Implications for experiments on one-dimensional insulators with a spin gap are noted.
