δ-function bosons in a one-dimensional potential well
You‐Quan Li
Abstract
The quantum-mechanical problem of bosons, in a square well in one dimension and interacting with a \ensuremath{\delta} function, is analyzed and solved. The resulting Bethe-ansatz wave function is a sum, over the Weyl group of Lie algebra ${\mathit{B}}_{\mathit{N}}$, of nondiffractive waves. The secular equation of the spectrum is obtained and its thermodynamic limit is discussed.
