Finite one dimensional impenetrable Bose systems: Occupation numbers

Bosons in the form of ultra cold alkali atoms can be confined to a one dimensional (1d) domain by the use of harmonic traps. This motivates the study of the ground state occupations $\lambda_i$ of effective single particle states $\phi_i$, in the theoretical 1d impenetrable Bose gas. Both the system on a circle and the harmonically trapped system are considered. The $\lambda_i$ and $\phi_i$ are the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions respectively of the one body density matrix. We present a detailed numerical and analytic study of this problem. Our main results are the explicit scaled forms of the density matrices, from which it is deduced that for fixed $i$ the occupations $\lambda_i$ are asymptotically proportional to $\sqrt{N}$ in both the circular and harmonically trapped cases.Comment: 22 pages, 8 figures (.eps), uses REVTeX

Determinant Representations for Correlation Functions of Spin-1/2 XXX and XXZ Heisenberg Magnets

We consider correlation functions of the spin-\half XXX and XXZ Heisenberg chains in a magnetic field. Starting from the algebraic Bethe Ansatz we derive representations for various correlation functions in terms of determinants of Fredholm integral operators.Comment: 23 pages, TeX, BONN-TH-94-14, revised version: typos correcte

Finite Temperature Properties of Quantum Antiferromagnets in a Uniform Magnetic Field in One and Two Dimensions

Consider a $d$-dimensional antiferromagnet with a quantum disordered ground state and a gap to bosonic excitations with non-zero spin. In a finite external magnetic field, this antiferromagnet will undergo a phase transition to a ground state with non-zero magnetization, describable as the condensation of a dilute gas of bosons. The finite temperature properties of the Bose gas in the vicinity of this transition are argued to obey a hypothesis of ZERO SCALE-FACTOR UNIVERSALITY for $d < 2$, with logarithmic violations in $d=2$. Scaling properties of various experimental observables are computed in an expansion in $\epsilon=2-d$, and exactly in $d=1$.Comment: 27 pages, REVTEX 3.0, 8 Postscript figures appended, YCTP-xyz
