Impossibility to describe repulsion with contact interaction

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2015-05-13 v2 Statistical Mechanics

Abstract

Contact interactions always lead to attractive behaviour. Arguments are presented to show why a repulsive interacting system, e.g. Bose gases, cannot be described by contact interactions and corresponding treatments are possibly obscured by the appearance of bound states. The usually used cut-offs are identified as finite range parameters.
