A Lower Bound on the Ground State Energy of Dilute Bose Gas

Consider an N-Boson system interacting via a two-body repulsive short-range potential $V$ in a three dimensional box $\Lambda$ of side length $L$. We take the limit $N, L \to \infty$ while keeping the density $\rho = N / L^3$ fixed and small. We prove a new lower bound for its ground state energy per particle $$\frac{E(N, \Lambda)}{N} \geq 4 \pi a \rho [ 1 - O(\rho^{1/3} |\log \rho|^3) ],$$ as $\rho \to 0$, where $a$ is the scattering length of $V$.Comment: 26 pages, AMS LaTe

Extremal Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors of Deformed Wigner Matrices

We consider random matrices of the form $H = W + \lambda V$, $\lambda\in\mathbb{R}^+$, where $W$ is a real symmetric or complex Hermitian Wigner matrix of size $N$ and $V$ is a real bounded diagonal random matrix of size $N$ with i.i.d.\ entries that are independent of $W$. We assume subexponential decay for the matrix entries of $W$ and we choose $\lambda \sim 1$, so that the eigenvalues of $W$ and $\lambda V$ are typically of the same order. Further, we assume that the density of the entries of $V$ is supported on a single interval and is convex near the edges of its support. In this paper we prove that there is $\lambda_+\in\mathbb{R}^+$ such that the largest eigenvalues of $H$ are in the limit of large $N$ determined by the order statistics of $V$ for $\lambda>\lambda_+$. In particular, the largest eigenvalue of $H$ has a Weibull distribution in the limit $N\to\infty$ if $\lambda>\lambda_+$. Moreover, for $N$ sufficiently large, we show that the eigenvectors associated to the largest eigenvalues are partially localized for $\lambda>\lambda_+$, while they are completely delocalized for $\lambda<\lambda_+$. Similar results hold for the lowest eigenvalues.Comment: 47 page

Edge Universality for Deformed Wigner Matrices

We consider $N\times N$ random matrices of the form $H = W + V$ where $W$ is a real symmetric Wigner matrix and $V$ a random or deterministic, real, diagonal matrix whose entries are independent of $W$. We assume subexponential decay for the matrix entries of $W$ and we choose $V$ so that the eigenvalues of $W$ and $V$ are typically of the same order. For a large class of diagonal matrices $V$ we show that the rescaled distribution of the extremal eigenvalues is given by the Tracy-Widom distribution $F_1$ in the limit of large $N$. Our proofs also apply to the complex Hermitian setting, i.e., when $W$ is a complex Hermitian Wigner matrix
