Ψ 0 xi =x j +0 = Ψ 0 xi =x j 0 ( Ψ0 2. Ψ ) 0 x i x j xi =x j +0 HΨ 0 = E 0 Ψ 0 ( Ψ0 Ψ ) 0 = 2c Ψ x i x j 0 xi =x j ±0 xi =x j 0 Bethe Ansatz solution without harmonic trap [Lieb+Liniger 1963] Impenetrable Bose wavefunction c [Girardeau 1960]. The wave function for impenetrable bosons must vanish at coincident coordinates, Ψ 0 (x 1,..., x i,..., x j,..., x N ) = 0 for x i = x j, (i j), This means that for any fixed ordering of the particles x 1 < x 2 <... < x N there is no distinction between impenetrable bosons and free fermions.

10 Ground State Wavefunction Schrödinger Operator N 2 H R = x 2 j=1 j N + x 2 j j=1 Normalised single particle eigenstates {φ k (x)} k=0,1,... φ k (x) = 2 k c k e x2 /2 H k (x), (c k ) 2 = π 1/2 2 k k! H k (x) denotes the Hermite polynomial of degree k. Ground state wave function Ψ 0 as a Slater determinant of distinct single-particle states 1 Ψ 0 (x 1,..., x N ) = (N!) 1/2 det[φ k(x j )] j=1,...,n k=0,...,n 1 where the factor of (N!) 1/2 is included so that dx 1 dx N Ψ 0 (x 1,..., x N ) 2 = 1.

11 Density Matrix Density Matrix is defined as ρ N (x; y) N dx 2... dx N Ψ 0 (x, x 2,..., x N )Ψ 0 (y, x 2,..., x N ), R R so that dx ρ N (x; x) = N R Using this one must solve the eigenvalue problem ρ N (x; y)ψ k (y) dy = λ k ψ k (x), k Z 0. R Note λ 0 > λ 1 >... > λ N 1 > 0, N 1 λ j = N j=0

12 GUE Averages Recall ρ N (x; y) = N dx 2... dx N Ψ 0 (x, x 2,..., x N )Ψ 0 (y, x 2,..., x N ) R R Vandermonde determinant formula with p j (x) a monic polynomial of degree j, det[p j 1 (x k )] j,k=1,...,n = det[x j 1 ] k j,k=1,...,n = (x k x j ) 1 j<k N Product formula for Ψ 0 Ψ 0 (x 1,..., x N ) = 1 C N N j=1 e x2 j /2 1 j<k N N 1 x k x j, (C N ) 2 = N! (c l ) 2. This coincides precisely with the multivariate probability distribution function (p.d.f.) for a particular class of random matrices l=0 Ψ 0 2 = E GUEN namely, GUE N, the Gaussian unitary ensemble of N N complex Hermitian matrices, Density matrix ρ N+1 (x; y) can be written as an average over this eigenvalue p.d.f ρ N+1 (x; y) = 1 N c 2 e x2 /2 y 2 /2 E GUEN x x l y x l N l=1

14 Thermodynamic limit of Homogeneous System [Jimbo Miwa Mori Sato 1980] Density Matrix ρ (x; 0) is now identified with a τ-function of the fifth Painlevé system ρ (x; 0) = ρ 0 exp ( πρ 0 x σ V (t) dt ), 0 t where ρ 0 denotes the bulk density. σ V satisfies the non-linear equation subject to the x 0 boundary condition (xσ V )2 + 4(xσ V σ V 1) ( xσ V σ V + (σ V )2) = 0 σ V (x) x 0 x2 3 + x3 3π + O(x4 ). [Lenard 1972] Eigenvalues of the density matrix are Fourier coefficients L λ k = ρ N (x; 0)e 2πikx/L dx. 0 The N asymptotic expansion ( ) 1/2 π ρ N (x; 0) ρ 0 A, A = G4 (3/2) N sin(πρ 0 x/n) 2π where G(x) denotes the Barnes G-function, valid for x/n fixed. Therefore a specific c computable from the above. λ 0 c N

Wavefunction 1 Ψ 0 (x 1,..., x N ) = L N/2 (N!) 1/2 2 sin π(x k x j ) L 1 j<k N Density Matrix ρ N+1 (x; 0) ρ N+1 (x; 0) = 1 N L E ( πx U(N) 2 sin L θ ) l ( ) θl 2 sin 2 2 l=1 Density Matrix can be identified with a member of a τ-function sequence in the sixth Painlevé system with Okamoto parameters b = ( 1 2 N, N, 1 2 N, N). Thermodynamic limit made by substituting x = e 2it/N and taking N with N/L fixed.

17 Orthogonal Polynomial System (OPS) Orthogonal polynomial system {p n (t)} defined by the orthogonality relations n=0 dt w(t)p n (t)t m 0 0 m < n = R h n m = n A consequence of the orthogonality relation is the three term recurrence relation a n+1 p n+1 (t) = (t b n )p n (t) a n p n 1 (t), n 1 Central objects in our probabilistic model are the Hankel determinants n := det[µ j+k 2 ] j,k=1,...,n, n 1, 0 := 1, in terms of the moments of the weight {µ n } n=0,1,..., µ n := dt w(t)t n R Alternatively n = 1 n! dt 1...

32 Where to from here? Can the density matrix eigenvalues (or just the lowest one) be accessed directly and analytically using these ideas? the theory is easily generalisable to calculate other quantities, higher correlations etc, take the thermodynamic limit, finite temperature extensions may be possible within the structures, the situation for finite interparticle repulsion c < is more challenging, certainly other non-integrable potentials can be handled with a little more effort with the resulting difference and differential systems being non-integrable extensions to 2 dimensions would require a major task at the level of the basic mathematical theory
