Abstract

We extend the exact periodic Bethe ansatz solution for one-dimensional bosons and fermions with δ-interaction and arbitrary internal degrees of freedom to the case of hard wall boundary conditions. We give an analysis of the ground-state properties of fermionic systems with two internal degrees of freedom, including expansions of the ground-state energy in the weak and strong coupling limits.

The 1D interacting Bose gas in a hard wall box

Murray T. Batchelor, X W Guan, N. Oelkers +1 more

We consider the integrable one-dimensional δ-function interacting Bose gas in a hard wall box which is exactly solved via the coordinate Bethe ansatz. The ground-state energy, including the surface energy, is derived from the Lieb–Liniger-type integral equations. The leading and correction terms are obtained in the weak and strong coupling regimes from both the discrete Bethe equations and the integral equations. This allows the investigation of both finite-size and boundary effects in the integrable model. We also study the Luttinger liquid behaviour by calculating Luttinger parameters and correlations. The hard wall boundary conditions are seen to have a strong effect on the ground-state energy and phase correlations in the weak coupling regime. Enhancement of the local two-body correlations is shown by application of the Hellmann–Feynman theorem.

One-dimensional fermionic gases with attractive p -wave interaction in a hard-wall trap

Yajiang Hao, Yunbo Zhang, Shu Chen

We investigate the ground state of the one-dimensional fermionic system enclosed in a hard-wall trap with attractive contact $p$-wave interactions. Based on the Bethe ansatz method, the explicit wave function is derived by numerically solving the Bethe ansatz equations for the full physical regimes $(\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\infty}\ensuremath{\le}{c}_{F}\ensuremath{\le}0)$. With the exact wave function some quantities which are important in many-body physics are obtained, including the one-body density matrix and the momentum distribution of the ground state for finite system. It is shown that the shell structure of the density profiles disappears with the increase of the interaction and in the fermionic Tonks-Girardeau limit the density distribution shows the same behavior as that of an ideal Bose gas. However, the one-body density matrix and the momentum distribution exhibit completely different structures compared with their bosonic counterparts.

Exact Results for the Boundary Energy of One-Dimensional Bosons

Benjamin Reichert, G. E. Astrakharchik, Aleksandra Petković +1 more

We study bosons in a one-dimensional hard-wall box potential. In the case of contact interaction, the system is exactly solvable by the Bethe ansatz, as first shown by Gaudin in 1971. Although contained in the exact solution, the boundary energy in the thermodynamic limit for this problem is only approximately calculated by Gaudin, who found the leading order result at weak repulsion. Here we derive an exact integral equation that enables one to calculate the boundary energy in the thermodynamic limit at an arbitrary interaction. We then solve such an equation and find the asymptotic results for the boundary energy at weak and strong interactions. The analytical results obtained from the Bethe ansatz are in agreement with the ones found by other complementary methods, including quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We study the universality of the boundary energy in the regime of a small gas parameter by making a comparison with the exact solution for the hard rod gas.

Ground-state properties of one-dimensional ultracold Bose gases in a hard-wall trap

Yajiang Hao, Yunbo Zhang, J.-Q. Liang +1 more

We investigate the ground state of the system of $N$ bosons enclosed in a hard-wall trap interacting via a repulsive or attractive $\ensuremath{\delta}$-function potential. Based on the Bethe ansatz method, the explicit ground state wave function is derived and the corresponding Bethe ansatz equations are solved numerically for the full physical regime from the Tonks limit to the strongly attractive limit. It is shown that the solution takes a different form in different regime. We also evaluate the one body density matrix and second-order correlation function of the ground state for finite systems. In the Tonks limit the density profiles display the Fermi-like behavior, while in the strongly attractive limit the Bosons form a bound state of $N$ atoms corresponding to the $N$-string solution. The density profiles show the continuous crossover behavior in the entire regime. Further, the correlation function indicates that the Bose atoms bunch closer as the interaction constant decreases.

Exact results for strongly correlated fermions: Hubbard and Falicov-Kimball models

Pedro S. Goldbaum

In this work, we study two models of strongly correlated fermions: Hubbard and FalicovKimball. We present a proof of the existence of real and ordered solutions to the nested Bethe Ansatz equations for the one dimensional Hubbard model on a finite lattice, with periodic boundary conditions. The existence of a continuous set of solutions extending from any U > 0 to U = ∞ is also shown, where U is the strength of the interaction between fermions at the same site. We use this continuity property, combined with the proof that the norm of the wavefunction obtained with the generalized Bethe Ansatz is not zero, to prove that the solution gives us the ground state of the finite system, as assumed by Lieb and Wu. For the absolute ground state at half-filling, we show that the solution converges to a distribution in the thermodynamic limit. This limit distribution satisfies the integral equations that led to the Lieb-Wu solution of the 1D Hubbard model. We also obtain a lower bound for the ground state energy of the Falicov-Kimball model. This bound is given by a bulk term, plus a term proportional to the boundary. A numerical value for the coefficient of the boundary term is determined. The explicit derivation is important in the proof of the conjecture of segregation of the two kinds of fermions in the Falicov-Kimball model, for sufficiently large interactions.
