More generally, we compute the short-distance behavior of the effective interaction potential between two external arbitrary charges $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ immersed in the plasma, for $β|Q_1|<2$ and $β|Q_2|<2$. We also find the short-distance asymptotics of the density profiles near a single external charge $Q$ immersed in the plasma for $β|Q|<2$.Statistical MechanicsShort-distance expansion of correlation functions in the charge-symmetric two-dimensional two-component plasma: Exact resultstext
