Abstract
We calculate the full characteristics at vanishing temperature in the self-dual interacting resonant level model in two ways. The first uses careful time dependent density matrix renormalization group with a large number of states per block and a representation of the reservoirs as leads subjected to a chemical potential. The other is based on integrability in the continuum limit, and generalizes early work by Fendley, Ludwig, and Saleur on the boundary sine-Gordon model. The two approaches are in excellent agreement, and uncover among other things a power law decay of the current at large voltages when .
