Abstract

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.

Thermodynamic properties of a relativistic Bose gas under rigid rotation

E. Siri, Néda Sadooghi A

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

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.

Spontaneous U(1) Symmetry Breaking and Phase Transitions in Rotating Interacting Bose Gases

Sun Wenming

We investigate spontaneous U(1) symmetry breaking and the associated phase transitions in rotating interacting Bose gases. Using a theoretical framework that combines mean-field analysis with rotational dynamics, we analyze how rigid rotation modifies the condensate structure and critical behavior. The study identifies the emergence of Goldstone modes and clarifies their role in the low-energy excitation spectrum. The results provide insight into the interplay between symmetry, rotation, and many-body interactions, contributing to a deeper theoretical understanding of phase structures in Bose systems.We investigate spontaneous U(1) symmetry breaking and the associated phase transitions in rotating interacting Bose gases. Using a theoretical framework that combines mean-field analysis with rotational dynamics, we analyze how rigid rotation modifies the condensate structure, critical behavior, and low-energy excitation spectrum. We identify the emergence of Goldstone modes (massless rotons and massive phonons) in the symmetry-broken phase and clarify their role in mediating low-energy excitations—findings that remain robust at low momentum regardless of rotation. A key result is the angular velocity (Ω) dependence of the critical temperature (Tc) for U(1) phase transition, where Tc scales as Ω^(1/3), distinct from the Ω^(2/5) (nonrelativistic) and Ω^(1/4) (ultrarelativistic) scaling observed in noninteracting rotating Bose gases. Rotation also alters the temperature dependence of the thermodynamic potential minima, changing the characteristic factor from (1 - t) (t = T/Tc for nonrotating systems) to (1 - t³) for rotating gases. We further demonstrate that rotation preserves the second-order nature of the phase transition, while modifying the critical exponents and reducing the discontinuity in heat capacity with increasing Ω. Additionally, we define a σ meson dissociation temperature (Tdiss) characterized by mσ(Tdiss) = 2mπ(Tdiss), showing that Tdiss is always lower than Tc. Thermal mass corrections are shown to ensure the validity of Goldstone’s theorem in the rotating frame, even in the chiral limit. These results deepen our understanding of the interplay between symmetry, rotation, and many-body interactions, with implications for interpreting extreme conditions in heavy-ion collisions and compact astrophysical objects, while advancing the theoretical framework for phase structures in rotating Bose systems.

Particles and Anti-Particles in a Relativistic Bose Condensate

Luca Salasnich

We study the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) for a relativistic ideal gas of bosons. In the framework of canonical thermal field theory, we analyze the role of particles and anti-particles in the determination of BEC transition temperature. At the BEC transition point we obtain two universal curves, i.e. valid for any mass value: the scaled critical temperature as a function of the scaled charge density of the Bose system, and the density ratio of anti-particles versus the scaled critical temperature. Moreover, we numerically investigate charge densities and condensed fraction ranging from the non-relativistic to the ultra-relativistic temperature, where analytical results are obtained.

Bose–Einstein condensation of a relativisticq-deformed Bose gas

Guozhen Su, Shukuan Cai, Jincan Chen

The q -deformed Bose–Einstein distribution derived from the q -boson algebra is used to study the low-temperature behavior of an ideal q -deformed Bose gas with relativistic energy spectrum. The effects of q -deformation on the properties relative to Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) are discussed. It is shown that q -deformation leads to some novel characteristics different from those of an original Bose gas, which include the criteria on the occurrence of BEC, critical temperature and jump of heat capacity at the critical point. The results obtained here provide a unified description for the properties of q -deformed Bose systems from the nonrelativistic case to the ultrarelativistic limit, so that some important conclusions in the literature are included in this paper.
