On the ground state energy of the δ -function Bose gas*
Craig A. Tracy, Harold Widom
Abstract
Abstract The weak coupling asymptotics, to order ( c / ρ ) 2 , of the ground state energy of the delta-function Bose gas is derived. Here 2 c ≥ 0 is the delta-function potential amplitude and ρ the density of the gas in the thermodynamic limit. The analysis uses the electrostatic interpretation of the Lieb–Liniger integral equation.
