The Lieb-Liniger model as a limit of dilute bosons in three dimensions (Q1006286)

The Lieb-Liniger model [LLM] is a toy model of quantum statistical mechanics for one-dimen\-sion\-al dilute boson gases with repulsive \(\delta\)-function interaction in strongly elongated traps. In this paper, the authors derive LLM from three-dimensional boson gas models, in which bosons are interacting each other by an arbitrary repulsive potential of finite scattering length \(a\) and trapped by cylindrical potentials with the radius \(r\). Bounds on both the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the three-dimensional models are derived and related to the corresponding quantities in LLM. In particular, the coupling constant of the \(\delta\)-interaction in LLM is given by \(g \sim a/r^2\) in the scaling limit \( a, r \to 0\) and \(g\) can take any value in \([0, \infty]\).
