Abstract: We show that the Lieb-Liniger model for one-dimensional bosons with repulsive delta-function interaction can be rigorously derived via a scaling limit from a dilute three-dimensional Bose gas with arbitrary repulsive interaction potential of finite scattering length. For this purpose, we prove bounds on both the eigenvalues and corresponding eigenfunctions of three-dimensional bosons in strongly elongated traps and relate them to the corresponding quantities in the Lieb-Liniger model. In particular, if both the scattering length a and the radius r of the cylindrical trap go to zero, the Lieb-Liniger model with coupling constant gsima/r2 is derived. Our bounds are uniform in g in the whole parameter range 0leqgleqinfty, and apply to the Hamiltonian for three-dimensional bosons in a spectral window of size simr−2 above the ground state energy.


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 \([0, \infty]\).
