The Mean-Field Limit of the Lieb-Liniger Model (1912.07585v2)

Published 16 Dec 2019 in math-ph, math.AP, and math.MP

Abstract: We consider the well-known Lieb-Liniger (LL) model for $N$ bosons interacting pairwise on the line via the $\delta$-potential in the mean-field scaling regime. Assuming suitable asymptotic factorization of the initial wave functions and convergence of the microscopic energy per particle, we show that the time-dependent reduced density matrices of the system converge in trace norm to the pure states given by the solution to the one-dimensional cubic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation (NLS) with an explict rate of convergence. In contrast to previous work arXiv:0906.3047 relying on quantum field theory and without an explicit rate, our proof is inspired by the counting method of Pickl arXiv:0907.4464 and Knowles and Pickl arXiv:0907.4313. To overcome difficulties stemming from the singularity of the $\delta$-potential, we introduce a new short-range approximation argument that exploits the H\"older continuity of the $N$-body wave function in a single particle variable. By further exploiting the $L2$-subcritical well-posedness theory for the 1D cubic NLS, we can prove mean-field convergence assuming only that the limiting solution to the NLS has finite mass.
