Thermodynamics of a one-dimensional system of point bosons: comparison of the traditional approach with a new one

Abstract

We compare two approaches to the construction of the thermodynamics of a one-dimensional periodic system of spinless point bosons: the Yang--Yang approach and a new approach proposed by the author. In the latter, the elementary excitations are introduced so that there is only one type of excitations (as opposed to Lieb's approach with two types of excitations: particle-like and hole-like). At the weak coupling, these are the excitations of the Bogolyubov type. The equations for the thermodynamic quantities in these approaches are different, but their solutions coincide (this is shown below and is the main result). In this case, the new approach is simpler. An important point is that the thermodynamic formulae in the new approach for any values of parameters are formulae for an ensemble of quasiparticles with the Bose statistics, whereas a formulae in the traditional Yang--Yang approach have the Fermi-like one-particle form.
