Critical point of the two-dimensional Bose gas: An S-matrix approach

Abstract

A new treatment of the critical point of the two-dimensional interacting Bose gas is presented. In the lowest order approximation we obtain the critical temperature Tc≈2πn/[mlog(2π/mg)], where n is the density, m the mass, and g the coupling. This result is based on a new formulation of interacting gases at finite density and temperature which is reminiscent of the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz in one dimension. In this formalism, the basic thermodynamic quantities are expressed in terms of a pseudo-energy. Consistent resummation of 2-body scattering leads to an integral equation for the pseudo-energy with a kernel based on the logarithm of the exact 2-body S-matrix.

The S-Matrix Formulation Of Quantum Statistical Mechanics, With Applications To Cold Quantum Gas

Pye Ton How

A novel formalism of quantum statistical mechanics, based on the zero-temperature S-matrix of the quantum system, is presented in this thesis. In our new formalism, the lowest order approximation ("two-body approximation") corresponds to the exact resummation of all binary collision terms, and can be expressed as an integral equation reminiscent of the thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz (TBA). Two applications of this formalism are explored: the critical point of a weakly-interacting Bose gas in two dimensions, and the scaling behavior of quantum gases at the unitary limit in two and three spatial dimensions. We found that a weakly-interacting 2D Bose gas undergoes a superfluid transition at Tc [ALMOST EQUAL TO] 2[pi]n/[m log(2[pi]/mg )], where n is the number density, m the mass of a particle, and g the coupling. In the unitary limit where the coupling g diverges, the two-body kernel of our integral equation has simple forms in both two and three spatial dimensions, and we were able to solve the integral equation numerically. Various scaling functions in the unitary limit are defined (as functions of [MICRO SIGN]/T ) and computed from the numerical solutions. For bosons in three spatial dimensions, we present evidence that the gas undergoes 3 a strongly interacting version of Bose-Einstein condensation at n[lamda]T [ALMOST EQUAL TO] 1.3, where n is the number density and [lamda]T is the thermal wavelength. Finally, we look at the ratio of shear viscosity to entropy density [eta]/s of the unitary quantum gas, which has a conjectured lower bound of [eta]/s [GREATER-THAN OR EQUAL TO] /4[pi]kb based on the AdS/CFT correspondence of a strongly coupled Yang-Mills theory.

The One-dimensional Bose Gas

V. E. Korepin, N. M. Bogoliubov, Anatoli G. Izergin

Introduction The one-dimensional Bose gas with point-like interaction of the particles (the quantum variant of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation) is one of the main and most important models which can be Solved by means of the Bethe Ansatz. This model has been thoroughly investigated (and. We shall start with the construction of eigenfunctions of the Hamiltonian in a finite volume. Quantities interesting from the physical point of view (in the thermodynamic limit at zero temperature) are considered; the thermodynamics at finite temperatures is investigated in detail as well. A number of essential ideas which will be applied to other models are introduced. The construction of eigenfunctions of the Hamiltonian is explained in section 1. Their explicit form and, in particular, the two-particle reducibility, are common features of the models solvable by means of the Bethe Ansatz method. Periodic boundary conditions are imposed on the wave function in section 2; the Bethe equations for the particle' momenta are introduced and analyzed. Taken in the logarithmic form, these equations realize the extremum condition of a certain functional, the corresponding action being called the Yang-Yang action. The transition to the thermodynamic limit is considered in section 3. In that same section the ground state of the gas is constructed. The density of the particle distribution in momentum space and the energy of the ground state are calculated. The method of the transition to the thermodynamic limit described in this section is rather general and may be applied to any model solvable by means of the Bethe Ansatz. In section 4, excitations above the ground state are constructed and their main characteristics (energy, momentum and scattering matrix) are determined by means of the dressing equations. The ground state of the model is the Dirac sea (also called the Fermi sphere).

Two-dimensional Bose and Fermi gases beyond weak coupling

Guilherme França, André LeClair, Joshua Squires

Abstract Using a formalism based on the two-body S-matrix we study two-dimensional Bose and Fermi gases with both attractive and repulsive interactions. Approximate analytic expressions, valid at weak coupling and beyond, are developed and applied to the Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless (BKT) transition. We successfully recover the correct logarithmic functional form of the critical chemical potential and density for the Bose gas. For fermions, the BKT critical temperature is calculated in BCS and BEC regimes through consideration of Tan’s contact.

INTERACTING BOSE AND FERMI GASES IN LOW DIMENSIONS AND THE RIEMANN HYPOTHESIS

André LeClair

We apply the S-matrix based finite temperature formalism to nonrelativistic Bose and Fermi gases in 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions. For the (2+1)-dimensional case in the constant scattering length approximation, the free energy is given in terms of Roger's dilogarithm in a way analagous to the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz for the relativistic (1+1)-dimensional case. The 1d fermionic case with a quasiperiodic two-body potential is closely connected with the Riemann hypothesis.

Thermodynamics and renormalized quasiparticles in the vicinity of the dilute Bose gas quantum critical point in two dimensions

Jan Krieg, Dominik Straßel, Simon Streib +2 more

We use the functional renormalization group (FRG) to derive analytical expressions for thermodynamic observables (density, pressure, entropy, and compressibility) as well as for single-particle properties (wave-function renormalization and effective mass) of interacting bosons in two dimensions as a function of temperature $T$ and chemical potential $\ensuremath{\mu}$. We focus on the quantum disordered and the quantum critical regime close to the dilute Bose gas quantum critical point. Our approach is based on a truncated vertex expansion of the hierarchy of FRG flow equations and the decoupling of the two-body contact interaction in the particle-particle channel using a suitable Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation. Our analytic FRG results extend previous analytical renormalization-group calculations for thermodynamic observables at $\ensuremath{\mu}=0$ to finite values of $\ensuremath{\mu}$. To confirm the validity of our FRG approach, we have also performed quantum Monte Carlo simulations to obtain the magnetization, susceptibility, and correlation length of the two-dimensional spin-$1/2$ quantum $XY$ model with coupling $J$ in a regime where its quantum critical behavior is controlled by the dilute Bose gas quantum critical point. We find that our analytical results describe the Monte Carlo data for $\ensuremath{\mu}\ensuremath{\le}0$ rather accurately up to relatively high temperatures $T\ensuremath{\lesssim}0.1J$.

1c expansion of the density matrix for the δ -function Bose gas

Michio Jimbo, Tetsuji Miwa

We study the strong-coupling ($c\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}$) expansion of the correlation functions for the one-dimensional $\ensuremath{\delta}$-function Bose gas at zero temperature. Making use of the Bethe's-hypothesis wave functions, we calculate exactly the two-point function (up to the order $\frac{1}{{c}^{2}}$) and the $n$-point functions (up to the order $\frac{1}{c}$), both in the finite box and in the thermodynamic limit. This generalizes the recent result of Creamer, Thacker, and Wilkinson for the $\frac{1}{c}$ correction to the two-point function.
