We present a novel mapping of the dilute random line lattice onto the weak coupling limit of a pure Bose gas with delta-function interactions. Using this mapping, we calculate the cumulants of the free energy in the dilute limit exactly. The relation between density and displacement correlation functions in the two models is examined and compared with existing results from renormalization group and variational ansaetze.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2001-01-16T20:54:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "1d bose gas", "random medium", "probability distributions", "dilute random line lattice", "displacement correlation functions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier", "journal": "Nucl.
