Density Matrix Expansion for Low-Momentum Interactions
نویسنده
چکیده
A first step toward a universal nuclear energy density functional based on lowmomentum interactions is taken using the density matrix expansion (DME) of Negele and Vautherin. The DME is adapted for non-local momentum-space potentials and generalized to include local three-body interactions. Different prescriptions for the three-body DME are compared. Exploratory results are given at the Hartree-Fock level, along with a roadmap for systematic improvements within an effective action framework for Kohn-Sham density functional theory.

Hartree Fock Calculations in the Density Matrix Expansion Approach
The density matrix expansion is used to derive a local energy density functional for finite range interactions with a realistic meson exchange structure. Exchange contributions are treated in a local momentum approximation. A generalized Slater approximation is used for the density matrix where an effective local Fermi momentum is chosen such that the next to leading order off-diagonal term is ...
متن کاملFree Expansion of Impenetrable Bosons on One-dimensional Optical Lattices
We review recent exact results for the free expansion of impenetrable bosons on onedimensional lattices, after switching off a confining potential. When the system is initially in a superfluid state, far from the regime in which the Mott-insulator appears in the middle of the trap, the momentum distribution of the expanding bosons rapidly approaches the momentum distribution of noninteracting f...

متن کاملOne-particle density matrix and momentum distribution function of one-dimensional anyon gases
We present a systematic study of the Green functions of a onedimensional gas of impenetrable anyons. We show that the one-particle density matrix is the determinant of a Toeplitz matrix whose large N asymptotic is given by the Fisher-Hartwig conjecture. We provide a careful numerical analysis of this determinant for general values of the anyonic parameter, showing in full details the crossover ...
