Abstract

We study the thermodynamic properties of a rigidly rotating relativistic Bose gas. First, we derive the solution of the equation of motion corresponding to a rotating complex Klein-Gordon field and determine the free propagator of this model utilizing the Fock-Schwinger proper-time method. Using this propagator, we then obtain the thermodynamic potential of this model in the zeroth and first perturbative level. In addition, we compute the nonperturbative ring contribution to this potential. Our focus is on the dependence of these expressions on the angular velocity, which effectively acts as a chemical potential. Using this thermodynamic potential, we calculate several quantities, including the pressure, angular momentum and entropy densities, heat capacity, speed of sound, and moment of inertia of this rigidly rotating Bose gas as functions of temperature ( T ), angular velocity ( Ω ), and the coupling constant ( α ). We show that certain thermodynamic instabilities appear at high temperatures and large couplings. They are manifested as zero and negative values of the above quantities, particularly the moment of inertia and heat capacity. Zero moment of inertia leads to the phenomenon of supervorticity at certain T or α . Supervortical temperatures (couplings) decrease with increasing coupling (temperature). We also observe superluminal sound velocities at high T and for large α . Published by the American Physical Society 2024

Bose-Einstein condensation in a rigidly rotating relativistic boson gas

E. Siri, Néda Sadooghi A

We study the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of a free Bose gas under rigid rotation. The aim is to explore the impact of rotation on the thermodynamic quantities associated with BEC, including the Bose-Einstein (BE) transition temperature and condensate fraction. We begin by introducing the rotation in the Lagrangian density of free charged Klein-Gordon fields and determine the corresponding grand canonical partition function at finite temperature, chemical potential, and finite angular velocity. Assuming slow rotation, we derive analytical expressions for the pressure, energy, number, and angular momentum densities of a free Bose gas in nonrelativistic and ultrarelativistic limits in terms of the corresponding fugacities. We then focus on the phenomenon of BEC. We calculate the critical temperature of BEC transition and the condensate fraction in a slowly rotating Bose gas including only particles. Our findings indicate that the critical exponent associated with the BE transition in a rotating gas is lower compared to that in a nonrotating Bose gas. We also determine the fugacity in a rotating Bose gas in the aforementioned limits and examine how rotation affects its temperature dependence, both below and above the critical temperature. By analyzing the behavior of heat capacity at these temperatures, we demonstrate that in a nonrelativistic Bose gas, the rotation transforms the nature of the BE phase transition from a continuous to a discontinuous transition. In general, we find that a nonrelativistic Bose gas under rotation behaves similarly to a nonrotating Bose gas in ultrarelativistic limit.

Weak Bose-Einstein condensation in a rigidly rotating magnetized charged Bose gas

E. Siri, Néda Sadooghi A

We investigate the weak Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) scenario of a noninteracting charged Bose gas simultaneously subjected to a strong magnetic field and rigid rotation. Using standard methods of finite-temperature quantum field theory and the generalized Fock-Schwinger formalism, we derive the corresponding thermodynamic potential in the nonrelativistic and lowest Landau level approximations. An appropriate modification of the effective chemical potential yields a consistent thermodynamic description and naturally introduces a magnetorotational fugacity. Within the high-temperature approximation, rigid rotation enters the thermodynamics solely through the Tolman-Ehrenfest local temperature. We demonstrate that rigid rotation does not qualitatively modify the weak BEC scenario induced by Landau quantization. The magnetorotational fugacity remains below unity throughout the phenomenologically relevant temperature range, while the continuous evolution of the ground state population and the absence of a singularity in the specific heat provide complementary signatures of the persistence of weak BEC. We further study the thermodynamic properties of the system under conditions relevant to quark-gluon plasma and neutron-star matter. We show that rotational effects are much more pronounced in the former. Our analysis reveals a new magnetic response to rigid rotation: while magnetic fields enhance diamagnetism, rotation drives it toward paramagnetism. This behavior reflects a competition between magnetic quantization and rotational orbital motion, emphasizing the role of rotation in shaping the magnetic response of bosonic matter.

Nonperturbative thermodynamics of an interacting Bose gas

Stefan Floerchinger, CHRISTOF WETTERICH

We discuss the thermodynamics of a nonrelativistic gas of bosons with a local repulsive interaction. In particular, we compute the temperature and density dependences of pressure, energy and entropy densities, superfluid and condensate fractions, correlation length, specific heat, isothermal and adiabatic compressibilities, and various sound velocities. The $T\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0$ limit approaches the quantum phase transition, while the universal critical behavior of a classical second-order phase transition in the O(2) universality class determines the region around the critical temperature. Our nonperturbative flow equations based on exact functional renormalization cover all regions in the phase diagram.

Relativistic Barnett effect and Curie law in a rigidly rotating free Fermi gas

M. Abedlou Ahadi, Néda Sadooghi A

By combining methods from thermal field theory and statistical mechanics, we reexamine the spin polarization caused by the relativistic Barnett effect in a rigidly rotating Fermi gas. We determine the pressure of this medium and show that it depends on an effective chemical potential, which includes contributions from orbital angular momentum-rotation and spin-rotation coupling. We introduce a specific regularization scheme to sum over the angular momentum quantum numbers. As a result, the thermal pressure and all thermodynamic quantities are separated into two parts that differ only in the spin fugacities of spin-up and spin-down fermions. We calculate the Fermi energy for both components and show that the Fermi energy of the spin-down fermions is lower than that of the spin-up ones. This difference arises from the spin-rotation coupling and leads to a spin polarization consistent with the Barnett effect. In particular, we introduce the spin-chemicorotational ratio $η\equiv Ω^{(0)}/2μ^{(0)}$, which adjusts the spin polarization of the Fermi gas. Here, $Ω^{(0)}$ and $μ^{(0)}$ represent the angular velocity and chemical potential at zero temperature, respectively. The factor $1/2$ accounts for the fermion's spin. We explore the temperature dependence of $μ$ and $Ω$, while assuming that the number of spin-up and spin-down fermions remains temperature independent. Our findings indicate that the spin-down component of the rotating Fermi gas dilutes at lower temperatures compared to the spin-up component. Additionally, we calculate the magnetic susceptibility arising from the Barnett magnetization and demonstrate that it is proportional to the moment of inertia $I$ of the rotating Fermi gas. Finally, we prove that $I$ exhibits a $1/T$ behavior in the high-temperature limit, similar to the Curie law of paramagnetism.

Thermodynamic properties of a trapped relativistic Bose gas with pair production

Guozhen Su, Liwei Chen, Jincan Chen

An ideal gas of relativistic bosons trapped in a D -dimensional power-law potential is explored, where the possibility of particle–antiparticle pair production is taken into account. Expressions for several important parameters, such as the critical temperature of Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC), ground-state fraction and heat capacity, are analytically derived and used to discuss the relevant properties of the system. An important parameter χ is introduced to mark the extent of the relativistic effects on the characteristics of BEC. It is found that the correction of the critical temperature due to the relativistic effects is considerable for the system with a large parameter χ. It is more important to show that the pair production may lead to several novel characteristics for a relativistic Bose gas, such as the high temperature BEC, the rapid increase of the heat capacity at high temperatures and the disappearance of the anomaly of the heat capacity at the critical temperature in the ultrarelativistic limit.
