Abstract
A one‐dimensional gas of impenetrable point‐particle bosons is considered. An exact expression for the one‐particle density matrix is derived in terms of the Fredholm determinant and resolvent of a certain simple kernel. It is proved that for large r, the density matrix is bounded by const × r−4/π2, and that this implies the absence of a generalized Bose‐Einstein condensation, contrary to a recent approximate calculation by Girardeau, who first defined such a condensation.
