A Hydrodynamical Description of Bose Liquid with Fractional Exclusion Statistics
Abstract
Hydrodynamical systems are usually taken as chaotic systems with fast relaxations. It is counter intuitive for “ideal” gas to have a hydrodynamical description. We find that a hydrodynamical model of one-dimensional theory shares the same ground state density profile, density-wave excitation, as well as the similar dynamical and statistical properties with the Calogero-Sutherland model in thermodynamic limit when their interaction strengths matches each other. The interaction strength in theory is then the index of fractional statistics. Although the model is interacting in Bose liquid sense, but it shows integrability with periodical coherent evolution. We also discussed the fractional statistics emerges from the theory.
I Introduction
In conventional wisdom of hydrodynamics, the existence of the hydrodynamical equations are based on the rapid relaxation of the system Landau . Usually this assumption is well satisfied in chaotic systems such like the interacting Bose gases. However, there are some interesting exceptions, such as the SGZ solutions which shows integrable motions in hydrodynamics shi2021 , where it shows hydrodynamics equations can also emerge for “ideal” systems. These integrability are shown in the examples of two-dimensional superfluids paris ; qi20 . On the other hand, we also notice that the ideal anyons satisfying fractional exclusion statistics which can be described by interacting bosons or fermions Haldane ; wu1994 . Naturally, one question is raised on whether the dynamics of ideal anyons can be treated by specific integrable hydrodynamical theory. In this article, we are going to explore this problem.
The Calogero-Sutherland (CS) model csm1969 ; sutherland246 describes trapped particles with long-range two-body interactions,

where , is the total particle number, the trap frequency and a dimensionless interaction strength. The particle mass and are taken as 1. This model is exactly solvable and one can prove that the excitations of CS model obey fractional exclusion statistics murthy1994 . Such statistics was first introduced by Haldane, and Yongshi Wu Haldane ; wu1994 . Here, we stress that the parameter is the index labelling the fractional statistics. When , the system is ideal Bosons. And when , the system is impenetrable Bosons, which can be mapped to spinless ideal Fermions in terms of the theorems in girardeau1960 .
We find the one-dimensional Bose liquid theory shares the same ground state density profile, density-wave excitation as well as the similar dynamical and statistical properties as them of the CS model. The trapped theory can be given as

where is a one-dimensional complex field. is the trap frequency and is the three-body contact interaction strength. Remarkably, we find and matches and exactly. More precisely, it means that both the ground state density profile of the CS model and it of the model share the same Wigner semicircle distribution in the thermodynamic limit wigner1955 . Here, the thermodynamic limit means that while keep as a constant dalfovo1999 . The excitation frequencies are equal spacing. The period of the density wave excitation is interaction strength independent and trap frequency dependent only. The direct consequence of this property is the coherence in time evolution. We also find that the theory satisfies the fractional exclusion statistics whose statistical parameter is corresponding to in the CS model. It is worth mentioning that the connection between the two models has been implicitly revealed by using the collective-field method Andric1988 ; Sen1997 .
In the following, we will present the correspondence between the CS model and trapped theory from the dynamical symmetry, ground state profile, excitation spectra, dynamical behavior, and statistical properties respectively. These correspondence are verified analytically in the thermodynamic limit and numerically checked for a finite- case.
II The Correspondence Between theory and the Calogero-Sutherland model
II.1 dynamical symmetry
Previously, it is discovered that for hamiltonian of the form as , the system has dynamical symmetry as long as satisfying . A simple review of this symmetry can be checked by the commutative relation among , , and , i. e.,
By introducing , , and , we have
Clearly, these three operators form algebra. We can check that both of the CS model and the trapped theory have this scale property. For the theory, its microscopic first quantization interaction term is a three-body contact interaction
(3) |
The dynamical symmetry is easily checked by noticing , which is also inherited by the trapped theory.

The direct result for this dynamical symmetry is a frequency breathing mode in the trap pitaev1997 . We also stress that the symmetry property is correct for any particle number . But the symmetry alone can not ensure the correspondence between the two systems. Actually we can see the deviation between these two theories at large with a finite , where the long-range interaction in the CS model induce a Wigner crystal wigner while this density order is clearly absent in the theory.
II.2 ground state density profile
In this section, we first verify that the ground state density profile in the CS model and trapped theory are identical in the thermodynamic limit. Then, for a finite , we present the numerical results of the ground state density , for the CS model and the theory respectively.
In the theory, the ground state density profile can be obtained by an equivalent hydrodynamical description, where the density and velocity field obey the following equations,
(4) |
(5) |
Here, is the density field, and is the velocity field. is the so-called quantum pressure. When the trap varies slowly on the scale of the inter-particle spacing, the density profile becomes smooth and the quantum pressure can be neglected, which is called the Thomas-Fermi (TF) approximation. Because in ground state, the velocity field is zero, , then it requires
(6) |
Therefore, the ground state density profile is
(7) |
where is the total particle number, denotes the Heaviside step function. When , such an equation is the ground state profile of spinless ideal fermions in a harmonic trap, which has been studied in Ref. eugene2000 Although this result is obtained under TF approximation, we see the semicircle law is quickly reached for finite with our numerical simulations.
Next, we solve the ground state density profile for the CS model. The expression of the ground state of the CS model is given as
(8) |
with the ground state energy , where are the positions of particles, and is the normalization factor, whose inverse is
(9) |
The density profile is obtained by . As the wave function itself is just the joint probability of the eigenvalues for random Gaussian matrices ensemble, the density function can be viewed as the charge distribution of log-potential Coulomb gas forrester2010 . In the thermodynamic limit, the solution of the density profile is obtained
(10) |
By comparing Eq. (7) and Eq. (10), we find that these two density profiles are exactly the same when we match the frequencies and the interaction strength. It is worth mentioning that also obtained from the zero-temperature distribution of the occupation number for anyons satisfying fractional exclusion statistics murthy1994 :
(11) |
with a semiclassical single-particle energy . Then, is given by .
In the following, we are going to show the numerical results for ground state density profile for the CS model and for the theory. Here and in the following figures, we set . For the CS model, we use the Monte-Carlo integration. Here we keep , and we reparametrize to on a -sphere . The measure can be then written as with denoting the solid angle of the -sphere. The ground state density profile is then expressed as
Here represent all the angle parameters of the -sphere. From the expression, the integrant is semi-positive definite, thus the multi-dimensional integral is very suitable for Monte-Carlo integration. Meanwhile, because of the measure and the Gaussian distribution in wave-function, the major contribution of above integration comes from very narrow region of . The concentration of measure in angular part due to Lévy’s Lemma Ledoux can further reduce the complexity in integration. With all these helps, the ground state density profile of CS model for , can be obtained.
On the other hand, we carry out a numerical calculation of theory as a non-linear Schrödinger equation. A cutoff in real space is taken as , and a boundary condition is taken as . To solve the ground state of the theory, we turn on an evolution in imaginary time, where the ground state is the fixed point of this flow.
The numerical results are summarized in Fig. 1. In Fig. 1(a), (b) and (c), we have shown the ground state density profile of CS model, the theory and the semicircle law with different interaction strength , and . For , the density wave order becomes prominent. This is the tendency for Wigner crystal because of the long-range nature of interaction. For , the ground state density profile of CS model and the model is very close to each other even for . At the same time, in Fig. 1(d), (e) and (f), the ground state density profile of the theory approaches the semicircle distribution as increases. Actually, the semicircle law is already a very good approximation for .
II.3 The Correspondence in density-wave excitations and the coherent evolution
In the following, we are going to connect the density-wave excitation of the theory and the CS model in the thermodynamic limit. By comparison, we find that the density-wave excitations of the two models share the same expression. Then, we check the finite- effect by full numerical calculations of the time evolution of the excitations. We analytically prove the correspondence between the density-wave excitations for any excited modes where , or for the second excited mode where is arbitrary. A guess for the correspondence between the density-wave excitations of the two models for any excited modes and for arbitrary is made and is checked with finite . From the numerical results we obtained, the guess seems to be hold in the thermodynamic limit.

First of all, let us focus on the theory. Here our starting point is the hydrodynamical equation Eq. (4) and Eq. (5). Following the procedure in Refs. string1996 ; menotti2002 , we linearize the density (correspondingly ) with a perturbation obeying the linear expansion of Eqs. (4), (5)

where is the radius of the semicircle distribution in the thermodynamic limit. The boundary conditions come from the absence of the particle flow at imam2006
(14) |
Then, by performing the transformation (), , we obtain a standard wave function
(15) |
with the Neumann boundary condition
(16) |
Thus, the solution of and consists of Fourier series

where denotes the quantized excitation energy. This equidistant excitation energy is also consistent with the dynamic symmetry. The constant as a perturbation actually implies a small derivation from the chemical potential.The constant is set to be 0 with a Galilean transformation.
In the above calculation, we assumed that the spatial derivative part of Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation can be neglected. The validity of this assumption has to be checked. By GP equation, we mean satisfy a non-linear Schrödinger equation as follows,
(19) |
where denotes the chemical potential, is short for . A direct numerical calculation for the excited states from the GP equation is difficult. Here we carry out the check in a reversed way. We set the initial wave function as a superposition of the ground state and the -th excited mode. Then, we check the time evolution of the density wave with this initial condition, where the information of the excited modes can be extracted. Approximately, we take the initial state as

The dynamics of can be calculated by the GP equation. We find the dynamics of can be factorized into several harmonic oscillations,

where is the average value of . is the time cutoff, which is taken as here. These data are shown in Fig. 2. By a nonlinear fitting of the dynamics, we obtain the values of , and . These parameters are dependent. If our result matches the theoretical predictions, is independent. Furthermore, we check that is interaction independent. This property is exact in limit, but it is approximate for finite . Also, we check . If this equation fails to be true, there are soft modes in the system. The existence of these soft modes will lead to decoherence for the long-time evolution. As we find are all very close to , therefore we will give the mean value of as and its variance as a function of and in Tables 1, 2. In Fig. 2, one can observe that the dynamics in (b) is more stable than in (a), this is manifested in the frequency difference between and . The difference between and shrinks from to when the particle increase from to .
We also study the dependence in , which gives us the information about the eigenfunctions of the excited modes,
(22) |
We find these relations are satisfied both for and . In Fig. 3(a) and (b), we show two typical at two different positions and (). In Fig. 3 (c), we show , and for and with the reference of theoretical prediction of and ( are even function of ). One finds precise agreement between the numerical results and the theoretical predictions when . When , the derivation indicates the finite- effects. The eigenfunctions show independence up to a rescaling of ( is in general dependent).


Secondly, we study the density-wave excitation of the CS model. Because the CS model can be mapped identically to a set of free harmonic oscillators with as the ground-state energy gurappa1999 , the excited energy is also equidistant. We consider the first excited state in the irreducible subspace involving the ground state, that is csm1969 ; gambar1975
(23) |
More generally, we have

where the index in refers to the -th excited state in the subspace. Here denotes the Beta-function, and denotes the generalized Laguerre polynomials. Notice that the -th excited state’s energy is .
Let with . We extract the information from the time evolution of the density . Since is time dependent, we have , where

which is consistent with Eq. (17) for . In the derivation, we have assumed that the partial derivative and the thermodynamic limit are interchangeable. However, for higher excited states which involves higher partial derivatives, this assumption is invalid due to the divergent derivative of at the boundary . Although we can not prove the general form of , we can guess its form is consistent with Eq. (17), i. e.,
(26) | |||||
For an arbitrary , it is too difficult to solve the overlap integral for an any excited state, but Eq. (26) can be proved when . Here, one of the excited states can be represented by the single-particle energy eigenstates of the harmonic oscillator . Let denote the occupied single-particle energy eigenstates in the ground state of fermions. Then, one of the -th excited states , for some , where denotes the unit antisymmetric function girardeau1960 , () denotes the creation (annihilation) operator of single-particle energy eigenstates. The corresponding perturbation of the density is given by (notice )
(27) | |||||
Using the asymptotic expansion of the product in the thermodynamic limit (appendix A):
(28) |
Comparing this result with Eq. (17), we prove that the density-wave excitations in the trapped theory and the CS model are the same when .
Now, we are going to check Eq. (26) for finite- systems by numerics. The overlap integral is numerically done by using Monte-Carlo method because the integrant is semi-positive definite. Here we introduce a normalization condition for the comparison between different results, where and are numerically obtained with a finite . In Fig. 4, we present for . There are datas for two sizes: and . One can see the tendency for approaching the guessed function in the thermodynamic limit. The results for are given in (d), (e) and (f). There are clear deviations from the guessed results due to the high-frequency oscillation. The coarse-graining line is taken by replacing as . Here is taken as . The purple dashed lines are results after two times of coarse graining, which can be viewed as the average behavior of . One can see their resemblance with the guessed result. From the numerical result we find when , then the deviation from the theoretical prediction is more serious. In the CS model, when is large, the particles are inclined to be aligned in equal space in one-dimension due to the long-range interaction. On the other hand, when , characterizes the oscillation of the density wave. But the oscillation in coordinate is not consistent with the equal spacing in coordinate. Thus these two requirements are conflicting with each other.For this reason, when is a suitable requirement for our guess.
II.4 Fractional exclusion statistics in theory
The wave function Eq. (15) implies the canonical quantization of the density-wave excitation of the trapped theory. Following the procedure of the phenomenological bosonization in Ref. giamarchi2003 , we introduce a scalar field and its conjugate momentum through . Then, using the solution (Eqs. 17, 18) and to the second order of , the energy functional (Eq. 2) is rewritten in terms of and as
(29) |
which describes a Luttinger-liquid system. In the derivation, we neglect the term within the TF approximation.
We quantize the scalar field with the commutation relation . Thus, the density wave (Eq. 17, 18) is of bosonic-excitation type. It follows from Eqs. (17), (18) that
(30) |
where , with are the creation and annihilation operators of the density-wave modes. Compared with the energy spectrum of the CS model gurappa1999 , Eq. (30) is also a set of free harmonic oscillators with as the ground-state energy. Because, the only difference between the two models is just a negligible chemical potential deviation for in the thermodynamic limit, we conclude that the trapped theory has the CS model-like energy spectra and thus obeys the fractional exclusion statistics with as the statistical parameter. About the connection between the Luttinger-liquid and the fractional exclusion statistics, we introduce Refs. Pham1998 ; Wu2001 for further reading .


II.5 Finite Temperature Results
The linearized density-wave excitations capture the low-energy excitations of the theory. When the temperature ( denotes the Boltzmann constant) of the field grows up to , the thermal-excitation energy in Eq. (30) is comparable to the ground-state energy. At this moment, the linearized theory fails and we use the semiclassical approximation to study the finite-temperature property of the theory in the following.
Using the Hatree-Fock approximation and the WKB approximation huse1982 ; giorgini1997 ; bhaduri2000 , the density is determined self-consistently. First there should no condensate part in at a high temperature. The system consists of thermal particles and the density at finite temperature reads

where
(32) |
denotes the effective single-particle spectrum, and denotes the chemical potential. After performing the -integration of Eq. (31), we find the self-consistent equation of :
(33) |
where denotes the dimensionless density, and denotes the polylogarithm function. Also, the constraint is given by
(34) |
Specially, we find the solution of can always be obtained self-consistently for any temperature, which indicates that there are no condensate in at any temperature.

In Fig. 5, we show the density numerically solved from Eq. (33). Fig. 5a indicates three typical regions: (1) semicircle distribution: ; (2) Gaussian tail: ; (3) near the boundary . Actually, the region 1 and 3 respectively corresponds to the two limits of the polylogarithm function: for , and for . Accordingly, the density in the two regions are
(35) |
(36) |
Substituting Eq. (35), or Eq. (36) into Eq. (32), we have
(37) |
which results in the semicircle distribution of the density and implies the existence of the Fermi surface, or
(38) |
which describes the ideal Bosons, but now the chemical potential contains the effects of interaction. In addition, near the boundary with a length scale , the analytical solutions (Eqs. 35, 36) are invalid. Fig. 5b compares the density of the theory () with it of a free-fermion system for fixed and . The narrower distribution of the density from the theory indicates that more particles occupy the low-energy states, which lead to a lower chemical potential.
In Fig. 6, we show the figure of the theory (Eqs. 33, 34) and the CS model wu1994
(39) |
Compared with the CS model’s result, the chemical potential of the theory drops rapidly as the temperature grows, which is consistent with Fig. 5b. The deviation of the two curves indicates that the theory does not satisfy the fractional exclusion statistics at the temperature scale , in contrast to the result that the theory satisfies the fractional exclusion statistics within the linearized theory at the temperature scale . This deviation is a result of the expansion of the semicircle distribution at finite temperature, which decreases the density and weakens the three-body interaction of the field (see also Fig. 5b).
III Conclusion
In this paper, we find a hydrodynamical description of ideal anyons satisfying fractional exclusion statistics in the one-dimensional theory. The theory shares many similar features as the Calogero-Sutherland model. Specifically, when the trap frequency and the interaction strength in theory and them in the CS model are consistent the two models share the same ground state density profile, excitation spectrum, density-wave excitation , as well as dynamical and statistical properties in the thermodynamic limit and at low temperature. The hydrodynamical version of ideal anyons satisfying fractional exclusion statistics is more accessible in experiments because it only relates local contact interactions, while interaction in the CS model is, on the other hand, very difficult to realize experimentally.
