Difference system for Selberg correlation integrals

The Selberg correlation integrals are averages of the products $\prod_{s=1}^m\prod_{l=1}^n (x_s - z_l)^{\mu_s}$ with respect to the Selberg density. Our interest is in the case $m=1$, $\mu_1 = \mu$, when this corresponds to the $\mu$-th moment of the corresponding characteristic polynomial. We give the explicit form of a $(n+1) \times (n+1)$ matrix linear difference system in the variable $\mu$ which determines the average, and we give the Gauss decomposition of the corresponding $(n+1) \times (n+1)$ matrix. For $\mu$ a positive integer the difference system can be used to efficiently compute the power series defined by this average.Comment: 21 page

Analytic solutions of the 1D finite coupling delta function Bose gas

An intensive study for both the weak coupling and strong coupling limits of the ground state properties of this classic system is presented. Detailed results for specific values of finite $N$ are given and from them results for general $N$ are determined. We focus on the density matrix and concomitantly its Fourier transform, the occupation numbers, along with the pair correlation function and concomitantly its Fourier transform, the structure factor. These are the signature quantities of the Bose gas. One specific result is that for weak coupling a rational polynomial structure holds despite the transcendental nature of the Bethe equations. All these new results are predicated on the Bethe ansatz and are built upon the seminal works of the past.Comment: 23 pages, 0 figures, uses rotate.sty. A few lines added. Accepted by Phys. Rev.
