We are mainly interested in potentials $V_\\ell$ modelling short range interactions of cold atomic gases. In order to ensure stability the interaction $V_\\ell$ is required to have a strong repulsive core, such that $\\lim_{\\ell \\to 0} \\int V_\\ell >0$. This situation is not covered in the previous literature.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-05-16T13:46:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "contact interactions", "short-range potentials", "cold atomic gases", "norm resolvent limit", "modelling short range interactions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1305.3805B" } } }
