Abstract

Following an earlier calculation in 3D, we calculate the 2D critical temperature of a dilute, translation-invariant Bose gas using a variational formulation of the Bogoliubov approximation introduced by Critchley and Solomon in 1976. This provides the first analytical calculation of the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition temperature that includes the constant in the logarithm.

Theory of the weakly interacting Bose gas

Jens O. Andersen

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 $\sqrt{{\mathrm{na}}^{3}},$ 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.

Critical Temperature of Interacting Bose Gases in Two and Three Dimensions

Sebastiano Pilati, S. Giorgini, Nikolay V. Prokof'ev

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.

A second order upper bound to the free energy of the two dimensional Bose gas

Florian Haberberger, Lukas Junge

We consider a two-dimensional Bose gas in the dilute regime where $ρa^2$ is small. For temperatures below the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless critical temperature, we derive an explicit upper bound for the free energy density using Bogoliubov theory. Our result captures the contribution of quasiparticle modes with dispersion relation $\sqrt{p^4 + 8πρ\, δ\, p^2}$ and where $δ= 2 / (|\log(ρa^2)| + \log |\log(ρa^2)|)$.

Kosterlitz-Thouless transition in a dilute Bose gas

Henk T. C. Stoof, M. Bijlsma

We study the two-dimensional dilute Bose gas using the ladder or T-matrix approximation, which is valid if ln(1/${\mathit{na}}^{2}$)\ensuremath{\gg}1, and show that this approximation can describe also the critical region of the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition accurately. In particular, we consider the superfluid properties of the gas and find that the superfluid density shows the square-root cusp together with the universal jump at the critical temperature. The theory is applied to spin-polarized atomic hydrogen adsorbed on a superfluid helium film, since this appears to be one of the most promising experimental setups to achieve the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition in a weakly interacting Bose gas.

Two-dimensional Bose and Fermi gases beyond weak coupling

Guilherme França, André LeClair, Joshua Squires

Abstract Using a formalism based on the two-body S-matrix we study two-dimensional Bose and Fermi gases with both attractive and repulsive interactions. Approximate analytic expressions, valid at weak coupling and beyond, are developed and applied to the Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless (BKT) transition. We successfully recover the correct logarithmic functional form of the critical chemical potential and density for the Bose gas. For fermions, the BKT critical temperature is calculated in BCS and BEC regimes through consideration of Tan’s contact.

Critical Point of a Weakly Interacting Two-Dimensional Bose Gas

Nikolay V. Prokof'ev, Oliver Ruebenacker, Boris V. Svistunov

We study the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition in a weakly interacting 2D quantum Bose gas using the concept of universality and numerical simulations of the classical $|\ensuremath{\psi}{|}^{4}$ model on a lattice. The critical density and chemical potential are given by relations ${n}_{c}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}(mT/2\ensuremath{\pi}{\ensuremath{\Elzxh}}^{2})\mathrm{ln}(\ensuremath{\xi}{\ensuremath{\Elzxh}}^{2}/mU)$ and ${\ensuremath{\mu}}_{c}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}(mTU/\ensuremath{\pi}{\ensuremath{\Elzxh}}^{2})\mathrm{ln}({\ensuremath{\xi}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}{\ensuremath{\Elzxh}}^{2}/mU)$, where $T$ is the temperature, $m$ is the mass, and $U$ is the effective interaction. The dimensionless constant $\ensuremath{\xi}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}380\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}3$ is very large and thus any quantitative analysis of the experimental data crucially depends on its value. For ${\ensuremath{\xi}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}$ our result is ${\ensuremath{\xi}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}13.2\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.4$. We also report the study of the quasicondensate correlations at the critical point.
