Specialized to N=2, D=2

Z = exp - V β 𝑑 R

specialize to N=2

Z = exp - V β 𝑑 r 1 𝑑 r 2

replace potential with N=2

Z = exp - β V r 1 r 2 𝑑 r 1 𝑑 r 2

Switch variables

Z = exp - β V r 1 r 2 𝑑 r 12 𝑑 r cm

Specialize to a potential that depends only on interparticle distance

Z = exp - β V r 12 𝑑 r 12 𝑑 r cm

Depend only on the magnitude of the distance

Z = exp - β V Abs r 12 𝑑 r 12 𝑑 r cm

Integrate out r_cm (this step is still a hack)

Z = Ω exp - β V Abs r 12 𝑑 r 12

Decompose into vector components

Z = Ω exp - β V r 12 x 2 + r 12 y 2 𝑑 r 12 x 𝑑 r 12 y

Add integration limits

Z = Ω 1.00000000000000e-5 L 1.00000000000000e-5 L exp - β V r 12 x 2 + r 12 y 2 𝑑 r 12 x 𝑑 r 12 y
