Modeling interactions for resonant p-wave scattering.

In view of recent experiments on ultracold polarized fermions, the zero-range potential approach is generalized to situations where two-body scattering is resonant in the p-wave channel. We introduce a modified scalar product which reveals a deep relation between the geometry of the Hilbert space and the interaction. This formulation is used to obtain a simple interpretation for the transfer rates between atomic and molecular states within a two branches picture of the many-body system close to resonance. At resonance, the energy of the dilute gas is found to vary linearly with density.

Rigorous approach to the problem of ultraviolet divergencies in dilute Bose gases.

In this Letter we consider a system of N pairwise finite-range interacting atoms and prove rigorously that in the zero-range interaction limit all the eigenstates and eigenenergies of the Hamiltonian converge to those corresponding to N atoms interacting via the Fermi-Huang regularized pseudopotential. Next, we show that the latter eigensystem (if treated exactly) is invariant under a nontrivial transformation of the interaction potential. Finally, we realize that most of the approximate schemes of many-body physics do not exhibit this invariance: We use this property to resolve all inconsistencies of the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov variational formalism known thus far.
