One-Dimensional N-body Problem with 8-Interaction

Publisher

Abstract

Abstract We have studied the one dimensional N-body problem with delta-function interaction and width 2 C. To determine the ground-state energy and the excitation spectrum we arrive at integral equations similar to the equation of Hulthen. The solution of the integral equation is achieved by the moments method and the results are compared with those found in the literature.

Solution of the Integral Equations for the Many-Body Problem in One Dimension

A. D. Jannussis

The integral equations for the calculation of the ground-state energy of the repulsive delta-function interaction problem in one dimension for $N$ particles are reduced to a system of algebraic equations by using the method of moments. We obtain explicit results in a limiting case.

Many-Body Problem of Attractive Fermions with Arbitrary Spin in One Dimension

Minoru Takahashi

A set of coupled integral equations which determine the ground state energy of N fermions with arbitrary spin attracting via a delta-function potential are obtained. In the case of ½ spin our equations are equivalent to those of Gaudin.

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.

Exact Analysis of an Interacting Bose Gas. I. The General Solution and the Ground State

Élliott H. Lieb, Werner Liniger

A gas of one-dimensional Bose particles interacting via a repulsive delta-function potential has been solved exactly. All the eigenfunctions can be found explicitly and the energies are given by the solutions of a transcendental equation. The problem has one nontrivial coupling constant, $\ensuremath{\gamma}$. When $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ is small, Bogoliubov's perturbation theory is seen to be valid. In this paper, we explicitly calculate the ground-state energy as a function of $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ and show that it is analytic for all $\ensuremath{\gamma}$, except $\ensuremath{\gamma}=0$. In Part II, we discuss the excitation spectrum and show that it is most convenient to regard it as a double spectrum---not one as is ordinarily supposed.

Solutions of the Yang–Yang Integral Equation at Zero-Temperature

Toshiaki Iida, Miki Wadati

Presented are solutions of the Yang–Yang integral equation for a one-dimensional system of bosons with repulsive δ-function interaction at zero temperature. By use of a method proposed in the previous paper, the first few terms of the asymptotic expansions of the excitation spectrum for both strong and weak coupling cases are calculated explicitly.

The equilibrium thermodynamics of a one-dimensional system of bosons with repulsive delta-function interaction is shown to be derivable from the solution of a simple integral equation. The excitation spectrum at any temperature T is also found.
