The pole of the two-particle T-matrix including the influence of the surrounding medium is analyzed for an interacting Bose gas. The phase diagram of the Bose -Einstein condensation (BEC) depending on the temperature, density, scattering length, and momentum is derived from this pole. The critical momentum for the occurrence of superfluidity is obtained in this way. As a new observation a two- particle binding energy is reported intimately connected with the occurrence of the BEC. It is suggested that this might have cosmological consequences on the dark energy problem.

From the many-body T matrix, the condition for a medium-dependent bound state and its binding energy is derived for a homogeneous interacting Bose gas. This condition provides the critical line in the phase diagram in terms of the medium-dependent scattering length. Separating the Bose pole from the distribution function, the influence of a Bose condensate is discussed and a thermal minimum of the critical scattering length is found.
We propose a modified form of the inversion method in terms of a self-energy expansion to access the phase diagram of the Bose-Einstein transition. The dependence of the critical temperature on the interaction parameter is calculated. This is discussed with the help of a condition for Bose-Einstein condensation in interacting systems which follows from the pole of the T matrix in the same way as from the divergence of the medium-dependent scattering length. A many-body approximation consisting of screened ladder diagrams is proposed, which describes the Monte Carlo data more appropriately. The specific results are that a non-self-consistent T matrix leads to a linear coefficient in leading order of 4.7, the screened ladder approximation to 2.3, and the self-consistent T matrix due to the effective mass to a coefficient of 1.3 close to the Monte Carlo data.
The Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of weakly interacting Bose gases has been realized recently in experiment. The condensation temperature of a uniform interacting Bose gas is an important thermodynamic quantity fot the BEC. In this paper, the pseudopotential method and grand canonical ensemble are used to investigate the condensation temperature of the uniform interacting Bose gas. The results show that, due to the interaction between particles, the shift of the condensation temperature is δT c/T c=-2.9an 1/3 , where a and n are the two-particle scattering length of S- wave and the particle number density, respectively.
In this paper, we study the phase diagram of a homogeneous Bose gas with a repulsive interaction near a wide Feshbach resonance at zero temperature. The Bose-Einstein-condensation (BEC) state of atoms is a metastable state. When the scattering length a exceeds a critical value depending on the atom density n, na3>0.035, the molecular excitation energy is imaginary and the atomic BEC state is dynamically unstable against molecule formation. The BEC state of diatomic molecules has lower energy, where the atomic excitation is gapped and the molecular excitation is gapless. However, when the scattering length is above another critical value, na3>0.0164, the molecular BEC state becomes an unstable coherent mixture of atoms and molecules. In both BEC states, the binding energy of diatomic molecules is reduced due to the many-body effect.
This thesis is devoted to the rigorous study of dilute Bose gases with two-body and three-body interactions at zero temperature in two and three dimensions. Bose gases are many-body quantum systems composed of bosons, which notably do not obey the Pauli exclusion principle. As a consequence, at extremely low temperatures, a macroscopic fraction of the particles can occupy the same one-body quantum state. This phenomenon, known as Bose–Einstein condensation, was predicted in the 1920s by Bose and Einstein for noninteracting Bose gases, and first realised experimentally by the groups of Cornell and Wieman, and Ketterle, earning them the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2001. However, proving the occurrence of Bose–Einstein condensation in general interacting bosonic systems remains a major open problem and constitutes a central theme in this thesis. Another important property of bosonic matter is that it is generally more unstable than fermionic matter. In particular, for systems interacting via the Coulomb force, the Pauli exclusion principle is essential for explaining the stability of the second kind, which states that the energy and volume scale linearly with the number of particles. Nonetheless, bosonic systems with attractive but less singular interactions can also be stable, and the rigorous proof of this fact forms a second focus of this thesis. In three dimensions, we consider predominantly repulsive interactions. Firstly, we prove a leading order upper bound on the thermodynamic ground state energy of Bose gases with hard-core three-body interactions, which matches an existing lower bound. In addition, we obtain a simpler proof for integrable potentials. Secondly, we derive the leading order of the thermodynamic ground state energy of Bose gases with combined two-body and three-body interactions. More specifically, we show that, at the leading order, the ground state energy is entirely characterised by the scattering length of the two-body potential and the scattering hypervolume of the three-body potential. Thirdly, we study the time evolution of Bose–Einstein condensates with three-body interactions in the so-called Gross–Pitaevskii regime. We show that Bose–Einstein condensation is preserved under many-body evolution and that the condensate wavefunction evolves according to the quintic Gross–Pitaevskii equation. In particular, we show that the effective coupling constant is universal in the sense that it depends only on the scattering hypervolume of the interaction potential. As a by-product of our proof, we derive a stability of the second kind result for Bose gases with attractive two-body interactions and repulsive three-body interactions. In two dimensions, we consider trapped Bose gases with mean-field-type interactions, including the purely attractive case. We prove the stability of the second kind of the system and the convergence of the ground state energy per particle to that of a non-linear Schrödinger energy functional. As a consequence of the stability of the second kind, we also obtain Bose–Einstein condensation for the many-body ground states.
The low-temperature properties of the interacting Bose system at high density are investigated under the random phase approximation and the self-consistent Hartree approximation based on the “normal-mode analysis”. To treat rigorously the tempereture-dependent “depletion” effect of the particles in the zero-momentum level, a new approach is proposed. As a result, the critical temperature, Tc, at which the zero-momentum particles disappear is determined. In the region below Tc, the temperature-dependent energy-spectrum of the quasi-particles, which has at the zero-temperature an intimate connection with that of Bogoliubov, is obtained, and the property of superfluidity which disappears at Tc is discussed. It is shown that the quasi-particles are transformed into the normal Bose particles at Tc, and the temperature-dependent energy-spectrum of the normal particles in the region above Tc is determined. It is noteworthy that the phase transition of the second-order occurs at Tc. In so far as the interaction gives the real and positive value for the energy-spectrum of both the quasi-particles and normal particles, the results above hold true, independent of the magnitude and particular shape of interaction.Some remarks are made on the hard-sphere interaction and on the interaction among the quasi-particles which seems necessary for the investigateions of the intermediate-density Bose system.
