• Title: Hamiltonians for Quantum Systems with Contact Interactions
• Authors: Daniele Ferretti, Alessandro Teta,
• Abstract summary: We show that in the limit one obtains the one-body Hamiltonian for the light particle subject to $N$ (non-local) point interactions placed at fixed positions. We will verify that such non-local point interactions do not exhibit the ultraviolet pathologies that are present in the case of standard local point interactions.

• Abstract: We discuss the problem of constructing self-adjoint and lower bounded Hamiltonians for a system of $n>2$ non-relativistic quantum particles in dimension three with contact (or zero-range or $\delta$) interactions. Such interactions are described by (singular) boundary conditions satisfied at the coincidence hyperplanes, i.e., when the coordinates of two particles coincide. Following the line of recent works appeared in the literature, we introduce a boundary condition slightly modified with respect to usual boundary condition one has in the one-body problem. With such new boundary condition we can show that the instability property due to the fall to the center phenomenon described by Minlos and Faddeev in 1962 is avoided. Then one obtains a physically reasonable Hamiltonian for the system. We apply the method to the case of a gas of $N$ interacting bosons and to the case of $N$ distinguishable particles of equal mass $M$ interacting with a different particle. In the latter case we also discuss the limit of the model for $M \longrightarrow +\infty$. We show that in the limit one obtains the one-body Hamiltonian for the light particle subject to $N$ (non-local) point interactions placed at fixed positions. We will verify that such non-local point interactions do not exhibit the ultraviolet pathologies that are present in the case of standard local point interactions.

  We discuss some properties of a model Hamiltonian for a system of three bosons interacting via zero-range forces in three dimensions. In particular, starting from a suitable quadratic form $Q$, the self-adjoint and bounded from below Hamiltonian $mathcal H$ can be constructed. We show that the threshold value $gamma_c$ is optimal, in the sense that the quadratic form $Q$ is unbounded from below if $gammagamma_c$.

For sufficiently strong interparticle interactions, we show that almost surely there cannot be Bose-Einstein condensation into a sufficiently localized, normalized one-particle state.
