Description

We discuss a 1D quantum many-body model of distinguishable particles with local, momentum-dependent two-body interactions. We show that the restriction of this model to fermions corresponds to the non-relativistic limit of the massive Thirring model. This fermion model can be solved exactly by a mapping to the 1D boson gas with inverse coupling constant. We provide evidence that this mapping is the non-relativistic limit of the duality between the massive Thirring model and the quantum sine-Gordon model. We show that the generalized model with distinguishable particles remains exactly solvable by the (coordinate) Bethe ansatz. Our solution provides a generalization of the above mentioned boson-fermion duality to particles with arbitrary exchange statistics characterized by any irreducible representation of the permutation group
