Abstract
In this paper we solve one-dimensional trapped SU (2) bosons with repulsive δ-function interaction by means of the Bethe-ansatz method. The features of ground state and low-lying excited states are studied by numerical and analytic methods. We show that the ground state is an isospin `ferromagnetic' state which differs from spin-½ fermion systems. There exist three quasi-particles in the excitation spectra, and both holon-antiholon and holon-isospinon excitations are gapless for large systems. The equilibrium thermodynamics of the system at finite temperature is studied using the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz. The thermodynamic quantities, such as specific heat, etc, are obtained for the case of the strong coupling limit.
