Critical Temperature Associated to Symmetry Breaking of Klein--Gordon fields versus Condensation Temperature in a Weakly interacting Bose--Einstein Gas

Abstract

We deduce the relation between the critical temperature associated to the symmetry breaking of scalar fields with one--loop correction potential immersed in a thermal bath and the condensation temperature of the aforementioned system, assuming a harmonic oscillator type potential. We show that these two temperatures are related through the \emph{scale} associated to the system. In this aim, we infer the order of magnitude for the \emph{scale} as a function of the corresponding healing length, in order to give a criterium to compare both temperatures. Additionally, we prove that the condensation temperature is independent of the thermal bath within the semiclassical approximation, for a positive coupling constant, assuming that the thermal bath contribution is the lowest energy associated to the system.

KLEIN–GORDON FIELDS AND BOSE–EINSTEIN CONDENSATES: THERMAL BATH CONTRIBUTIONS

Elías Castellanos, Tonatiuh Matos

We analyze the consequences caused by a thermal bath upon the properties associated to the symmetry breaking of scalar fields with one-loop correction potential. Concerning the nonrelativistic regime associated with the aforementioned system, we calculate the shift in the condensation temperature caused by the thermal bath, assuming a harmonic oscillator type potential. We prove that the shift in the condensation temperature depends on the associated scale of the system. In addition, we obtain bounds associated to the scale that could lead to relevant corrections on the condensation temperature under typical conditions.

Finite temperature and dissipative corrections to the Gross-Pitaevskii equation from λΦ 4 one-loop contributions

T. Matos, Abril Suárez

Starting with a scalar field in a thermal bath and using the one-loop quantum correction potential, we rewrite the Klein-Gordon equation in its thermodynamical representation and study the behavior of this scalar field due to temperature variations in the equations of motion. We find the generalization of a Gross-Pitaevskii–like equation for a relativistic Bose gas with finite temperature, the corresponding thermodynamic and viscosity expressions, and an expression for the postulate of the first law of the thermodynamics for this BECs. We also propose that the equations obtained might help to explain at some level the phase transition of a Bose-Einstein Condensate in terms of quantum field theory in a simple way.

Bose–Einstein condensation and symmetry breaking of a complex charged scalar field

Tonatiuh Matos, Elías Castellanos, Abril Suárez

In this work the Klein–Gordon equation for a complex scalar field with U(1) symmetry endowed in a mexican-hat scalar field potential with thermal and electromagnetic contributions is written as a Gross–Pitaevskii (GP)-like equation. This equation is interpreted as a charged generalization of the GP equation at finite temperatures found in previous works. Its hydrodynamical representation is obtained and the corresponding thermodynamical properties are derived and related to measurable quantities. The condensation temperature in the non-relativistic regime associated with the aforementioned system within the semiclassical approximation is calculated. Also, a generalized equation for the conservation of energy for a charged bosonic gas is found when electromagnetic fields are introduced, and it is studied how under certain circumstances its breaking of symmetry can give some insight on the phase transition of the system not just into the condensed phase but also on other related systems

Bose–Einstein Condensation in a Dilute, Trapped Gas at Positive Temperature

Andreas Deuchert, Robert Seiringer, Jakob Yngvason

We consider an interacting, dilute Bose gas trapped in a harmonic potential at a positive temperature. The system is analyzed in a combination of a thermodynamic and a Gross–Pitaevskii (GP) limit where the trap frequency $${\omega}$$ , the temperature T, and the particle number N are related by $${N \sim (T / \omega)^{3} \to\infty}$$ while the scattering length is so small that the interaction energy per particle around the center of the trap is of the same order of magnitude as the spectral gap in the trap. We prove that the difference between the canonical free energy of the interacting gas and the one of the noninteracting system can be obtained by minimizing the GP energy functional. We also prove Bose–Einstein condensation in the following sense: The one-particle density matrix of any approximate minimizer of the canonical free energy functional is to leading order given by that of the noninteracting gas but with the free condensate wavefunction replaced by the GP minimizer.

Bogoliubov phonons in a Bose-Einstein condensate from the one-loop perturbative renormalization group

Niklas Rasch, A. N. Mikheev, Thomas Gasenzer

Wilson’s renormalization-group approach to the weakly-interacting single-component Bose gas is discussed within the symmetry-broken, condensate phase. Extending upon the work by Bijlsma and Stoof, wave-function renormalization of the temporal derivative contributions to the effective action is included in order to capture sound-like quasiparticle excitations with wave lengths larger than the healing-length scale. By means of a suitable rescaling scheme we achieve convergence of the coupling flows, which serve as a means to determine the condensate depletion in accordance with Bogoliubov theory, as well as the interaction-induced shift of the critical temperature.

Bose-Einstein condensation temperature of a homogenous weakly interacting Bose gas in variational perturbation theory through seven loops

Boris Kastening

The shift of the Bose-Einstein condensation temperature for a homogenous weakly interacting Bose gas in leading order in the scattering length $a$ is computed for given particle density $n$. Variational perturbation theory is used to resum the corresponding perturbative series for $\ensuremath{\Delta}⟨{\ensuremath{\phi}}^{2}⟩∕Nu$ in a classical three-dimensional scalar field theory with coupling $u$ and where the physical case of $N=2$ field components is generalized to arbitrary $N$. Our results for $N=1,2,4$ are in agreement with recent Monte Carlo simulations; for $N=2$, we obtain $\ensuremath{\Delta}{T}_{c}∕{T}_{0}=(1.27\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.11)a{n}^{1∕3}$. We use seven-loop perturbative coefficients, extending earlier work by one loop order.
