Simple criterion for the occurrence of Bose-Einstein condensation
نویسنده
چکیده
We examine the occurrence of Bose-Einstein condensation in both nonrelativistic and relativistic systems with no self-interactions in a general setting. A simple condition for the occurrence of Bose-Einstein condensation can be given if we adopt generalized ζ-functions to define the quantum theory. We show that the crucial feature governing Bose-Einstein condensation is the dimension q associated with the continuous part of the eigenvalue spectrum of the Hamiltonian for nonrelativistic systems or the spatial part of the Klein-Gordon operator for relativistic systems. In either case Bose-Einstein condensation can only occur if q ≥ 3.

Simple criterion for the occurrence of Bose-Einstein condensation and the Meissner-Ochsenfeld effect
We examine the occurrence of Bose-Einstein condensation in both nonrelativistic and relativistic systems with no self-interactions in a general setting. A simple condition for the occurrence of Bose-Einstein condensation is given. We show that condensation can occur only if q ≥ 3, where q is the dimension associated with the continuous part of the eigenvalue spectrum of the Hamiltonian for nonr...
متن کاملEffective Action Approach to Bose-Einstein Condensation of Ideal Gases
We present a short review of how the effective action formalism, well known in relativistic quantum field theory, can be used to discuss Bose-Einstein condensation of non-relativistic gases. This method lends itself very naturally to an interpretation of Bose-Einstein condensation in terms of symmetry breaking. It also allows for the definition of a very elegant regularization technique involvi...
متن کاملBose-Einstein Condensation for Homogeneous Interacting Systems with a One-Particle Spectral Gap
We prove rigorously the occurrence of zero-mode Bose-Einstein condensation for a class of continuous homogeneous systems of boson particles with superstable interactions. This is the first example of a translation invariant continuous Bose-system, where the existence of the Bose-Einstein condensation is proved rigorously for the case of non-trivial two-body particle interactions, provided there...
متن کاملSolitons for nearly integrable bright spinor Bose-Einstein condensate
Using the explicit forms of eigenstates for linearized operator related to a matrix version of Nonlinear Schrödinger equation, soliton perturbation theory is developed for the $F=1$ bright spinor Bose-Einstein condensates. A small disturbance of the integrability condition can be considered as a small correction to the integrable equation. By choosing appropriate perturbation, the soli...
متن کاملGross-Pitaevski equation and resonances in Bose-Einstein condensates
– The investigation provides a criterion for the occurrence of resonances for the scattering by potentials. The Gross-Pitaevski equation, used in describing physical properties in Bose-Einstein condensates, is not compatible with the occurrence of the observed resonances. On the other hand, Geltman-Bambini and Krauss-Stevens potentials could fulfill this criterion. It has been customary to use ...
