STRINGS COMPLETE THE SPECTRUM OF 1-D δ-FUNCTION FERMIONS

ERIC D. WILLIAMS

Abstract

We study the completeness of the nested Bethe ansatz eigenfunctions for a one dimensional gas of spin-1/2 fermions interacting via a repulsive delta-function potential. We show the completeness of the eigenfunctions for a system in an infinite box with N fermions and the orientation of either one or two of the spins differing from the rest. This demonstrates that the spin bound states (also called Λ-strings) are necessary for completeness of the spectrum.

Completeness of Bethe Ansatz States in One-Dimensional δ-Function Fermions

Shuichi Murakami, Miki Wadati

We study the one-dimensional repulsive δ-function fermion system on an infinite interval. We construct a basis set of the Bethe ansatz eigenstates and show the completeness and the orthonormality of this basis set. We discuss the correspondence between these Bethe ansatz states and the states made by the quantum inverse scattering method. It justifies the method to study thermodynamics by the quantum Gel'fand-Levitan equations. In addition, we evaluate thermodynamic quantities by using the complete set of the Bethe ansatz states and obtain the first two terms of the virial expansions.

Thermodynamics of the one-dimensional multicomponent Fermi gas with a delta -function interaction

P. Schlottmann

The author considers a gas of fermions with parabolic dispersion and N spin-components (or spin S, N=2S+1) with SU(N) symmetry in one dimension interacting via a delta -function potential. The model is integrable and its solution has been obtained by Sutherland in terms of N nested Bethe ansatze. He analyses the discrete Bethe ansatz equations and classifies their solutions according to the string hypothesis. The thermodynamic Bethe-ansatz equations are derived for arbitrary band-filling for both repulsive and attractive interaction in terms of the thermodynamic energy potentials for the classes of eigenstates of the Hamiltonian. These equations are then discussed in several limiting cases, e.g. S=1/2, the ground state (T to 0), for vanishing interaction strength, for strong coupling, in the high-temperature limit, and the large-N limit.

Ground-state and elemental excitations of the one-dimensional multicomponent Fermi gas with delta -function interaction

P. Schlottmann

We consider a gas of fermions with parabolic dispersion and N spin components (or spin S, N=2S+1) with SU(N) symmetry in one dimension interacting via a delta -function potential. The model is integrable and its solution has been obtained by Sutherland in terms of N nested Bethe ansatze. The ground-state Bethe ansatz integral equations are solved numerically for both repulsive and attractive interactions to obtain the energy, the chemical potential, and the magnetic susceptibility as a function of the band filling and the interaction strength. For the repulsive interaction the Fermi gas has the properties of a Luttinger liquid. In the attractive case, on the other hand, the fermions in the ground-state form bound states of up to N fermions of different spin components. The spectrum of elemental charge and spin excitations is derived for the repulsive and attractive situations. The spectrum is discussed in the limits of vanishing interaction strength and very strong coupling. For the repulsive interaction the low-lying charge excitations can be characterized by the Fermi momentum and the Fermi velocity. The range of the spin-wave excitations is correlated with the Fermi momentum of the charges. The spin wave velocity is inversely proportional to the magnetic susceptibility. The spin-wave excitations become soft in the infinite-repulsive-coupling limit. In the attractive case in zero field all excitation branches except that of bound states of N fermions have an energy gap. It requires a finite energy to break these bound states and hence there is no response to a field smaller than a critical field. The low-T specific heat is proportional to the temperature.

δ-function spin-1/2 fermions in a one-dimensional potential well

You‐Quan Li, Jianhui Dai

The quantum-mechanical problem of N fermions with \ensuremath{\delta}-function interaction in a one-dimensional potential well of finite depth is solved. It is shown that there exists exact wave function of Bethe-ansatz form in the case that a single particle tunnels outside of the well. The Bethe-ansatz-like secular equations for the spectrum are obtained. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

Analysis of the Many-Body Problem in One Dimension with Repulsive Delta-Function Interaction

M. Albertsson

The repulsive delta-function interaction model in one dimension is reviewed for spinless particles and for spin-1/2 fermions. The problem of solving the differential equation related to the Schrödinger equation is reduced by the Bethe ansatz to a system of algebraic equations. The delta-function interaction is shown to have no effect on spinless fermions which therefore behave like free fermions, in agreement with Pauli's exclusion principle. The ground-state problem of spinless bosons is reduced to an inhomogeneous Fredholm equation of the second kind. In the limit of impenetrable interactions, the spinless bosons are shown to have the energy spectrum of free fermions. The model for spin-1/2 fermions is reduced by the Bethe ansatz to an eigenvalue problem of matrices of the same sizes as the irreducible representations R of the permutation group of N elements. For some R's this eigenvalue problem itself is solved by a generalized Bethe ansatz. The ground-state problem of spin-1/2 fermions is reduced to a generalized Fredholm equation.

Exact solutions of a one-dimensional mixture of spinor bosons and spinor fermions

Shi-Jian Gu, Junpeng Cao, Shu Chen +1 more

The exact solutions of a one-dimensional mixture of spinor bosons and spinor fermions with δ-function interactions are studied. Some new sets of Bethe ansatz equations are obtained by using the graded nest quantum inverse scattering method. Many interesting features appear in the system. For example, the wave function has the SU(2|2) supersymmetry. It is also found that the ground state of the system is partial polarized, where the fermions form a spin singlet state and the bosons are totally polarized. From the solution of Bethe ansatz equations, it is shown that all the momentum, spin and isospin rapidities at the ground state are real if the interactions between the particles are repulsive; while the fermions form two-particle bounded states and the bosons form one large bound state, which means the bosons condensed at the zero momentum point, if the interactions are attractive. The charge, spin and isospin excitations are discussed in detail. The thermodynamic Bethe ansatz equations are also derived and their solutions at some special cases are obtained analytically.
