摘要
A cold gas of particles with anisotropic interactions of a general form, due to a polarizing field, is studied. Special cases are atoms or molecules with dipole-dipole or quadrupole-quadrupole interactions. It is shown that the angular dependence of an observable on the direction of the polarizing field is largely determined by symmetry. For a gas in a confined quasi-two-dimensional geometry, the effective interaction is calculated in a general form. Some examples of dipole and quadrupole gases are considered. It is concluded that when anisotropic forces are studied in a general manner, one can obtain simpler results and better understanding for some problems.
