We revised the large- N expansion for a three-dimensional Bose system with short-range repulsion in normal phase. Particularly, for the model potential that is characterised only by the s -wave scattering length a the full numerical calculations of the critical temperature in the 1 / N -approximation as a function of the gas parameter a n 1 / 3 are performed. Additionally to the well-known result in the dilute limit we estimated analytically the leading-order strong-coupling behavior of the Bose-Einstein condensation transition temperature. It is shown that the critical temperature shift of the non-ideal Bose gas grows at small a n 1 / 3 , reaches some maximal value and then falls down becoming negative.

We use the nonperturbative linear $\ensuremath{\delta}$ expansion method to evaluate analytically the coefficients c1 and ${c}_{2}^{\ensuremath{''}}$ that appear in the expansion for the transition temperature for a dilute, homogeneous, three-dimensional Bose gas given by ${T}_{c}{=T}_{0}({1+c}_{1}{\mathrm{an}}^{1/3}+[{c}_{2}^{\ensuremath{'}}\mathrm{ln}{(an}^{1/3}{)+c}_{2}^{\ensuremath{''}}]{a}^{2}{n}^{2/3}{+O(a}^{3}n)),$ where T0 is the result for an ideal gas, a is the s-wave scattering length, and n is the number density. In a previous work the same method has been used to evaluate c1 to order ${\ensuremath{\delta}}^{2}$ with the result c1=3.06. Here, we push the calculation to the next two orders obtaining c1=2.45 at order ${\ensuremath{\delta}}^{3}$ and c1=1.48 at order ${\ensuremath{\delta}}^{4}.$ Analyzing the topology of the graphs involved we discuss how our results relate to other nonperturbative analytical methods such as the self-consistent resummation and the 1/N approximations. At the same orders we obtain ${c}_{2}^{\ensuremath{''}}=101.4,$ ${c}_{2}^{\ensuremath{''}}=98.2,$ and ${c}_{2}^{\ensuremath{''}}=82.9.$ Our analytical results seem to support the recent Monte Carlo estimates ${c}_{1}=1.32\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.02$ and ${c}_{2}^{\ensuremath{''}}=75.7\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.4.$
We calculate the superfluid transition temperature of homogeneous interacting Bose gases in three and two spatial dimensions using large-scale path integral Monte Carlo simulations (with up to N=10;{5} particles). In 3D we investigate the limits of the universal critical behavior in terms of the scattering length alone by using different models for the interatomic potential. We find that this type of universality sets in at small values of the gas parameter na3 < or approximately 10(-4). This value is different from the estimate na3 < or approximately 10(-6) for the validity of the asymptotic expansion in the limit of vanishing na3. In 2D we study the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition of a gas with hard-core interactions. For this system we find good agreement with the classical lattice |psi|4 model up to very large densities. We also explain the origin of the existing discrepancy between previous studies of the same problem.
We calculate explicitly the variation δTc of the Bose-Einstein condensation temperature Tc induced by weak repulsive two-body interactions to leading order in the interaction strength. As shown earlier by general arguments, δTc/Tc is linear in the dimensionless product an1/3 to leading order, where n is the density and a the scattering length. This result is non-perturbative, and a direct perturbative calculation of the amplitude is impossible due to infrared divergences familiar from the study of the superfluid helium lambda transition. Therefore we introduce here another standard expansion scheme, generalizing the initial model which depends on one complex field to one depending on N real fields, and calculating the temperature shift at leading order for large N. The result is explicit and finite. The reliability of the result depends on the relevance of the large N expansion to the situation N=2, which can in principle be checked by systematic higher order calculations. The large N result agrees remarkably well with recent numerical simulations.
This article reviews recent advances in the theory of the three-dimensional dilute homogeneous Bose gas at zero and finite temperature. Effective-field-theory methods are used to formulate a systematic perturbative framework that can be used to calculate the properties of a system at T=0. The perturbative expansion of these properties is essentially an expansion in the gas parameter na3, where a is the s-wave scattering length and n is the number density. In particular, the leading quantum corrections to the ground-state energy density, the condensate depletion, and long-wavelength collective excitations are rederived in an efficient and economical manner. Nonuniversal effects are also discussed. These effects are higher-order corrections that depend on properties of the interatomic potential other than the scattering length, such as the effective range. The article critically examines various approaches to the dilute Bose gas in equilibrium at finite temperature. These include the Bogoliubov approximation, the Popov approximation, the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approximation, the \ensuremath{\Phi}-derivable approach, optimized perturbation theory, and renormalization-group techniques. The article ends with a look at recent calculations of the critical temperature of the dilute Bose gas, which include 1/N techniques, lattice simulations, self-consistent calculations, and variational perturbation theory.
The well-known results concerning a dilute Bose gas with the short-range repulsive interaction should be reconsidered due to a thermodynamic inconsistency of the method being basic to much of the present understanding of this subject. The aim of our paper is to propose another way of treating the dilute Bose gas with an arbitrary strong interaction. Using the reduced density matrix of the second order and a variational procedure, this way allows us to escape the inconsistency mentioned and operate with singular potentials of the Lennard-Jones type. The derived expansion of the condensate depletion in powers of the boson density n=N/V reproduces the familiar result, while the expansion for the mean energy per particle is of the form epsilon=2 pi planck(2)an/m[1+128/(15 square root of [pi]) square root of [na(3)](1-5b/8a)+...], where a is the scattering length and b> or =0 stands for one more characteristic length depending on the shape of the interaction potential (in particular, for the hard spheres a=b). All the consideration concerns the zero temperature.
Through exact numerical solutions we show Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) for the one-dimensional (1D) bosons with repulsive short-range interactions at zero temperature by taking a particular large size limit. Following the Penrose-Onsager criterion of BEC, we define condensate fraction by the fraction of the largest eigenvalue of the one-particle reduced density matrix. % We show the finite-size scaling behavior such that condensate fraction is given by a scaling function of one-variable: interaction parameter multiplied by a power of particle number. Condensate fraction is nonzero and constant for any large value of particle number or system size, if the interaction parameter is proportional to the negative power of particle number. %Here the interaction parameter is defined by the coupling constant of the delta-function potentials devided by the density. %With the scaling behavior we derive various themodynamic limits where condensate fraction is constant for any large system size; for instance, it is the case even in the system of a finite particle number.
