"1D Bose gas as the non-relativistic limit of the sinh-Gordon model"

Presented by Marton Kormos, International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA), Italy

Due to recent experimental achievements with trapped ultracold atoms, the properties of the 1D non-relativistic Bose gas are of great interest. In many experimental setups the behavior of the particles is very well described by the Lieb-Liniger model which in many aspects can be regarded as a theoretical benchmark in the research of integrable models. In spite of its integrability, calculating correlation functions in the model is notoriously difficult. In the talk I will propose a novel approach to compute expectation values and other physical quantities in the Lieb-Liniger model. The method is
based on the fact that in the repulsive case the S-matrix, the Lagrangian and the operators can be obtained from a certain non-relativistic limit of the sinh-Gordon model. This observation allows us to compute expectation values in the Lieb-Liniger system both at zero and finite temperature.
