1. Rename markdown files to .pdc or use markup: pandoc in front matter to use pandoc as external helper.

2. MathJax config in assets/js/mathjax-config.js.

10. Comment on Lieb--Liniger

In (7) we defined $\theta$ (after taking the log) $$\theta(k) = 2 \mathrm{arccot}(k/c)$$ which is the physical phase shift upon scattering. In Lieb-Liniger's paper, however, $$\theta(k) = -2 \arctan(k/c)$$ which is more by $\pi$ than our definition for negative $k$ and less by $\pi$ for positive ones. There are two issues with this:

1. In (24), $I_j$ must be an integer no matter what with our definitions, since it's a direct consequence of periodic BC. In Lieb-Liniger's paper, the half-integer $I$'s for even $N$ are due to the $\pi$'s defined away; in fact they remark that the impenetrable limit of an even number of bosons is linked to free fermions with antiperiodic BC (footnote 6 in the paper).

2. The argument in the paper for $I$'s all being different relies on the fact that their definition of $\theta(k)$ decreases monotonically for all $k$ (eq. (2.25) in the paper). This is not true for our definition (it jumps from $-\pi$ at $k=0-$ to $+\pi$ at $k=0+$, so there is no good reason why $I$'s in our treatment are all different.

This could be fixed by changing over completely to Lieb-Liniger's definition which is not as intuitive as keeping $\theta$ the physical scattering phase; or by defining $\theta(k)$ on the interval $[0,2\pi]$ so that it decreases monotonically: this saves Lieb-Liniger's argument for different $I$'s, but they will change to (presumably negative) integers and it's not fully intuitive either. In any case, the argument used to get half-integer $I$ for even $N$ is wrong. The continuum limit derivations depend only on $\theta'(k)$ which goes unaffected, so that part should be fine, although the $\pi$ in (39) and (42) may have something to do with this.
