Bogoliubov theory for dilute Bose gases: The Gross-Pitaevskii regime

Serena Cenatiempo

Published Aug 1, 2019• 6 citations

Abstract

In 1947, Bogoliubov suggested a heuristic theory to compute the excitation spectrum of weakly interacting Bose gases. Such a theory predicts a linear excitation spectrum and provides expressions for the thermodynamic functions which are believed to be correct in the dilute limit. Thus far, there are only a few cases where the predictions of Bogoliubov can be obtained by means of rigorous mathematical analysis. A major challenge is to control the corrections beyond Bogoliubov theory, namely, to test the validity of Bogoliubov’s predictions in regimes where the approximations made by Bogoliubov are not valid. In these notes, we discuss how this challenge can be addressed in the case of a system of N interacting bosons trapped in a box with volume one in the Gross-Pitaevskii limit, where the scattering length of the potential is of the order 1/N and N tends to infinity. This is a recent result obtained in Boccato et al. [Commun. Math. Phys. (to be published); preprint arXiv:1812.03086 and Acta Math. 222, 219–335 (2019); e-print arXiv:1801.01389], which extends a previous result obtained in Boccato et al. [Commun. Math. Phys. 359, 975 (2018)], removing the assumption of a small interaction potential.

We consider Bose gases consisting of N particles trapped in a box with volume one and interacting through a repulsive potential with scattering length of order N−1 (Gross–Pitaevskii regime). We determine the ground state energy and the low-energy excitation spectrum, up to errors vanishing as N tends to infinity. Our results confirm Bogoliubov’s predictions.

We consider interacting Bose gases trapped in a box $Λ= [0;1]^3$ in the Gross-Pitaevskii limit. Assuming the potential to be weak enough, we establish the validity of Bogoliubov's prediction for the ground state energy and the low-energy excitation spectrum.

The low energy spectrum of trapped bosons in the Gross–Pitaevskii regime

Christian Brennecke

Bogoliubov theory {N. N. Bogoliubov, Izv. Akad. Nauk Ser. Fiz. 11, 77 (1947) [J. Phys. (USSR) 11, 23 (1947) (in English)]} provides important predictions for the low energy properties of the weakly interacting Bose gas. Recently, Bogoliubov’s predictions were justified rigorously by Boccato et al. [Acta Math. 222(2), 219–335 (2019)] for translation invariant systems in the Gross–Pitaveskii regime, where N bosons in Λ=[0;1]3⊂R3 interact through a potential whose scattering length is of size N−1. In this article, we review recent results from the work of Brennecke et al. [Ann. Henri Poincaré 23, 1583–1658 (2022)], a joint work with Schlein and Schraven, which extends the analysis for translation invariant systems to systems of bosons in R3 that are trapped by an external potential.

Diagonalizing Bose Gases in the Gross–Pitaevskii Regime and Beyond

Morris Brooks

We present a novel approach to the Bogoliubov theory of dilute Bose gases, allowing for an elementary derivation of the celebrated Lee-Huang-Yang formula in the Gross-Pitaevskii regime. Furthermore, we identify the low lying excitation spectrum beyond the Gross-Pitaevskii scaling, extending a recent result (Brennecke et al. in Rev Math Phys 34, 2022) to significantly more singular scaling regimes. Finally, we provide an upper bound on the ground state energy in the Gross-Pitaevskii regime that captures the correct expected order of magnitude beyond the Lee-Huang-Yang formula.
