Article
Using the Euler-Maclaurin formula, the authors compute finite-size corrections to the ground- and excited-state energies and momenta. This enables them to obtain all possible operator scaling dimensions at the critical point (T=0) and surface exponents for a variety of boundary conditions. They extend the predictions of conformal invariance to incl...

A method based on the Euler-Maclaurin formula is proposed to obtain all finite-size corrections to the energies of the ground and excited states for the one-dimensional Bose gas with delta function interactions. Scaling dimensions for all gapless states and some states having a macroscopic momentum are obtained.

Several new transformations for q-binomial coefficients are found, which have the special feature that the kernel is a polynomial with nonnegative coefficients. By studying the group-like properties of these positivity preserving transformations, as well as their connection with the Bailey lemma, many new summation and transformation formulas for b...

When L = M, the identity yields a strong refinement of Goellnitz's theorem with a bound on the parts given by L. This is the first...

The quantum nonlinear Schrödinger model (one-dimensional Bose gas) is analyzed by means of conformal field theory. We show that conformal algebra, which describes the long-distance asymptotic behavior of the model, in conjunction with a specific choice of the cut-off procedure, can be used to solve the problem of exact correlators and determine una...

The authors analyse the nonlinear Schrodinger model (the one-dimensional Bose gas) by means of conformal field theory in conjunction with a newly developed cutoff procedure. This makes it possible to obtain exact expressions for current correlators in the model. A number of new results are presented, including the expression for the two-point curre...

A one-dimensional system of bosons, interacting via a delta-function potential, is analyzed by means of a conformal field theory approach. A systematic method for deriving the operator content of the critical Hamiltonian of the model is proposed. In the case of impenetrable bosons it is shown that the Hamiltonian consists of only two commuting part...

The two-point, equal-time correlation function for a one-dimensional, finite-density gas of impenetrable fermions is derived and expressed in terms of a solution of the Painlevé equation of the fifth kind. The asymptotic large-distance behavior is found to be quite different from that found in the bosonic case.
