Dynamics of Lieb-Liniger Gases

It is proved that the Lieb-Liniger cusp condition implementing the delta function interaction in one-dimensional Bose gases is dynamically conserved under phase imprinting by pulses of arbitrary spatial form, and the subsequent many-body dynamics in the thermodynamic limit is expressed approximately in terms of solutions of the time-dependent single-particle Schrödinger equation for a set of time-dependent orbitals evolving from an initial Lieb-Liniger-Fermi sea. As an illustrative application, a generation of gray solitons in a Lieb-Liniger gas on a ring by a phase-imprinting pulse is studied.
