G. Kato et M. Wadati, Graphical representation of the partition function of a one-dimensional delta-function Bose gas, J MATH PHYS, 42(10), 2001, pp. 4883-4893
The one-dimensional repulsive delta -function bose system is studied. By on
ly using the Bethe ansatz equation, n-particle partition functions are exac
tly calculated. From this expression for the n-particle partition function,
the n-particle cluster integral is derived. The results completely agree w
ith those of the thermal Bethe ansatz (TBA). This directly proves the valid
ity of the TBA. The theory of partitions and graphs is used to simplify the
discussion. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
