We discuss a 1D many-body model of distinguishable particles with local, momentum dependent two-body interactions. We show that the restriction of this model to fermions corresponds to the non-relativistic limit of the massive Thirring model. This fermion model can be solved exactly by a mapping to the 1D boson gas with inverse coupling constant. We provide evidence that this mapping is the non-relativistic limit of the duality between the massive Thirring model and the quantum sine-Gordon model. We also investigate the question if the generalization of this model to distinguishable particles is exactly solvable by the coordinate Bethe ansatz and find that this is not the case.
We investigate the validity of effective one-dimensional models for quasi-1D fermionic systems by benchmarking a coupled-channel approach against the exact low-energy theory derived from the underlying three-dimensional problem in the weakly and strongly attractive limits. We show that reproducing the exact two-body scattering amplitude is insufficient to construct the correct effective low-energy theory of quasi-1D fermions. In the weakly attractive regime, it does not capture the emergent three-body interaction induced by transverse excitations. In the strongly attractive regime, it yields an atom-dimer scattering length with an incorrect dependence on the three-dimensional scattering length. These results demonstrate the limitations of effective one-dimensional descriptions based solely on two-body physics and highlight the need to explicitly include few-body correlations in quasi-1D systems.
