We obtain for the attractive Dirac delta-function potential in two-dimensional quantum mechanics a renormalized formulation that avoids reference to a cutoff and running coupling constant. Dimensional transmutation is carried out before attempting to solve the system, and leads to an interesting eigenvalue problem in N-2 degrees of freedom (in the center of momentum frame) when there are N particles. The effective Hamiltonian for N-2 particles has a nonlocal attractive interaction, and the Schrodinger equation becomes an eigenvalue problem for the logarithm of this Hamiltonian. The 3-body case is examined in detail, and in this case a variational estimate of the ground-state energy is given.

  1. Probing the Universe's Topology through a Quantum System?

    quant-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A toy model shows that cosmic topology alters the bound-state energy of a 3D Dirac delta potential by a coefficient C_Γ=6 for the 3-torus and C_Γ=4 for the half-turn space, suppressed by exp(-L/g_R).
