Abstract

The ground state of a one-dimensional many-boson system with a repulsive $\ensuremath{\delta}$-function potential is reexamined in the weak-coupling limit. It is shown that addition of the third-order variational correction to a previously obtained ground-state energy series leads to an improved agreement with the exact numerical results evaluated by Lieb and Liniger.

Ground-state energy of a one-dimensional many-boson system

Deor-Kyo Lee, Felix J. Lee

The ground-state energy of a one-dimensional system of many bosons interacting via a repulsive s-function potential is carried out through third-order corrections, when the coupling parameter γ of the system is small. The procedures' are basically developed following both the Bogoliubov-Zubarev and the Davison-Feenberg methods. It is seen numerically that a slight difference exists in between, at least, starting from the third-order correction; the former one gives rise to a more improved agreement with the exact results obtained by Lieb and Liniger, and also, the variational contribution in the later is still dominant even in the third-order correction.

Ground State of a One-Dimensional Many-Boson System

Deok Kyo Lee

The ground state of a one-dimensional system of many bosons interacting through a repulsive $\ensuremath{\delta}$-function potential is studied when the coupling parameter $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ of the system is small. The procedure is based on the variational analysis in the Bijl-Dingle-Jastrow wave-function space. The ground-state energy, determined in a series form in powers of ${\ensuremath{\gamma}}^{\frac{1}{2}}$ and truncated after the third leading term, is found to be in fair agreement with exact results of Lieb and Liniger over a range of the coupling parameter extending up to $\ensuremath{\gamma}=6$. Two slightly different approaches are considered, and they are shown to be equivalent.

Method of correlated basis functions for the ground state of a one-dimensional many-particle boson system

Deok Kyo Lee, Lin-ing Kung

The method of correlated basis functions is used in the study of the ground-state properties of a one-dimensional system of bosons interacting through a repulsive $\ensuremath{\delta}$-function potential. Ground-state energies are determined numerically for intermediate values of the coupling constant in three steps: (1) a trial form of the radial distribution function generated by the Bijl-Dingle-Jastrow (BDJ) type of wave function is introduced to obtain approximate ground-state energies, (2) the paired-phonon analysis is applied to improve the BDJ description of the ground state, and (3) leading corrections to the improved approximate energies are evaluted from the second-order perturbation energy generated by the three-phonon vertex. The obtained energy values are found to agree closely with the exact results calculated by Lieb and Liniger.

Ground-State Energy of a Many-Particle Boson System

Deok Kyo Lee

The ground state of a many-particle boson system is studied for two closely related limits: the uniform limit and the weak coupling limit. The former is defined by $\ensuremath{\alpha}=1\ensuremath{-}g(0)\ensuremath{\ll}1$ and the latter by $\ensuremath{\beta}=\frac{(N\ensuremath{-}{N}_{0})}{N}\ensuremath{\ll}1$, where $g(r)$ is the radial distribution function and ${N}_{0}$ is the mean occupation number of the zero-momentum state. In the uniform limit the variation-perturbation approach based on (a) the method of correlated basis functions and (b) the series expansion in powers of $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ is found to be equivalent to the field-theoretic treatment given by Brueckner (for the charged-boson gas) in the weak coupling limit. In particular, it is shown that the variation-perturbation energy obtained for the uniform limit in the momentum representation is identical through second order to the ground-state energy evaluated for $\ensuremath{\beta}\ensuremath{\ll}1$ by summing one- and two-ring diagrams in the Bogoliubov occupation-number representation. The charged-boson gas and the one-dimensional boson system with a $\ensuremath{\delta}$-function interaction are considered to examine some of the interesting features of the uniform-limit procedure.

Self-consistent-field approximation method for a one-dimensional many-boson system

Oscar Hipólito, R. Lobo

The method of self-consistent-field approximation is applied for the study of the ground-state properties of a one-dimensional system of bosons, of density $\ensuremath{\rho}$, first interacting through finite rigid rods, of length $l$, and again via a repulsive $\ensuremath{\delta}$-function potential. We obtain the energy spectrum and the sound velocity. The results are close to the exact one for $\ensuremath{\rho}l<0.5$. The energy spectrum obtained shows a rotonlike region which is qualitatively similar to the two- and three-dimensional versions. For a Bose gas interacting through a repulsive $\ensuremath{\epsilon}$ potential of strength $2c$, we derive the energy spectrum, the sound velocity, and the ground-state energy. The results are compared with Girardeau and Lieb's exact expressions. In the small-coupling limit our calculations show the same results as obtained by Bogoliubov's perturbation theory. The ground-state energy obtained for small $\ensuremath{\gamma}=\frac{c}{\ensuremath{\rho}}$ is found to agree closely with several different works found in the literature. Unfortunately our theory diverges for the ground-state energy in the limit $\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}$. The sound velocity in this limit is finite but twice as small as from Girardeau's exact results.

Ground-State Many-Boson Problem with Repulsive Potentials

Leonard J. Eyges

We extend to the N-body case previous techniques for solving three-body problems with repulsive interparticle potentials and periodic boundary conditions on each particle. For clarity, we begin with one-dimensional problems, although the techniques are not peculiar to them and can be generalized to three dimensions. We decompose the wavefunction ψ into N(N − 1)/2 parts, according to Ψ= ∑ i<j=1Nψij;from the Schrödinger equation we find a basic equation for a typical ψij. As a test of this equation, we apply it for N = 4 and the case of δ-function interactions, and solve it numerically to find close agreement between the energy per particle of a four-body system and a system of the same density in which N → ∞. The numerical results are consistent with the analytic one that Eg(∞), which is the ground-state energy per particle of the system with an infinite number of particles, is related to Eg(N), which is that energy for the N-body system of the same density, by Eg(N) = Eg(∞)[1 − (1/N)] for weak repulsion and by Eg(N) = Eg(∞)[1 − (1/N2)] for very strong repulsion. We begin a similar comparison for the three-dimensional hard-sphere case by working out the problem of two hard spheres with periodic boundary conditions over a length L2 such that the density is the same as for an N-body problem in volume V=LN3:2/L23=N/LN3. We find that we get the analog of the one-dimensional result, for which case Eg(2) = Eg(∞)/2 for N = 2. That is, we find Eg(2) = πa2h/mv, which is just one-half of the many-body theory result. We also calculate the two-body correlation function and find good agreement with the many-body one, as calculated by Lee, Huang, and Yang.
