Dimer problem on a spherical surface
The authors show that a dimer confined on a spherical surface gets squeezed perpendicularly to the center-of-mass motion, qualitatively changing its geometry from two-dimensional to one-dimensional. These results suggest that combining the curved geometry with finite angular momentum may give rise to qualitatively new many-body phenomena in ultracold shell-shaped gases.
