Excitation Spectrum of a One-Dimensional Many-Boson System
Makoto Konagai Takahashi
Abstract
The lowest order correction term to the Bogoliubov spectrum is calculated analytically for the case of one-dimensional bosons with δ-function interaction. We obtain the spectrum ε(p) = |p|√p2+4nc+(2nc/π)γ1/2·|p|/√p2+4nc+O(γnc), (n = density, ℏ= 2m = 1, strength of δ-function = 2c, γ= c/n). This is compared with Lieb's exact excitation spectrum for this case. Our numerical calculation shows that it is the correct γ1/2 expansion of the spectrum. However this expansion up to second order is not a good approximation for the low wave number part and gives an incorrect expansion of the sound velocity up to second order.
