Derivation of Gibbs measure from Gibbs state with the fractional Bessel interaction in Two Dimensions

Abstract

We derive the classical Gibbs measure on $\mathbb{T}^2$ associated with the fractional Bessel interaction potential $\widehat{v}_β(k)=\langle k\rangle^{-β}$ from a renormalized grand-canonical quantum Bose gas with the same interaction. Our result covers the whole range $\frac32<β\leq2$, where $\widehat{v}_β(k)$ is not summable and the quantum model cannot be written in the usual density-square form, as the associated self-energy diverges. We therefore need to renormalize the zero mode by a centered number-fluctuation term and then develop a detailed analysis for the high-frequency remainders. All this allows us to implement a low-frequency localization and obtain the convergence of the quantum relative free energy to the classical fractional-Bessel free energy, as well as the convergence of the reduced density matrices to the limiting Gibbs measure.

The mean-field limit of quantum Bose gases at positive temperature

Jürg Martin Fröhlich, Antti Knowles, Benjamin Schlein +1 more

We prove that the grand canonical Gibbs state of an interacting quantum Bose gas converges to the Gibbs measure of a nonlinear Schrödinger equation in the mean-field limit, where the density of the gas becomes large and the interaction strength is proportional to the inverse density. Our results hold in dimensions d ⩽ 3 d \leqslant 3 . For d > 1 d > 1 the Gibbs measure is supported on distributions of negative regularity and we have to renormalize the interaction. More precisely, we prove the convergence of the relative partition function and of the reduced density matrices in the L r L^r -norm with optimal exponent r r . Moreover, we prove the convergence in the L ∞ L^\infty -norm of Wick-ordered reduced density matrices, which allows us to control correlations of Wick-ordered particle densities as well as the asymptotic distribution of the particle number. Our proof is based on a functional integral representation of the grand canonical Gibbs state, in which convergence to the mean-field limit follows formally from an infinite-dimensional stationary phase argument for ill-defined non-Gaussian measures. We make this argument rigorous by introducing a white-noise-type auxiliary field, through which the functional integral is expressed in terms of propagators of heat equations driven by time-dependent periodic random potentials and can, in turn, be expressed as a gas of interacting Brownian loops and paths. When the gas is confined by an external trapping potential, we control the decay of the reduced density matrices using excursion probabilities of Brownian bridges.

Nonlocal Cubic Density Gibbs Measures from Bosonic Gibbs States with Three-Body Interactions

Hao Liang

We study the high-temperature mean-field limit of grand-canonical bosonic Gibbs states on the torus with renormalized nonlocal three-body interactions. In dimensions two and three, we construct the limiting nonlinear classical Gibbs measure and prove convergence of the relative free energy and of the reduced density matrices of every fixed order; in three dimensions, a smallness condition on the interaction is imposed. The proof combines the density-channel representation of the interaction with a coherent-state variational method based on the upper-symbol representation of the free Gibbs state. The same framework also contains, as a special case, the homogeneous positive-type model studied by Lewin, Nam, and Rougerie (2021).

Derivation of renormalized Gibbs measures from equilibrium many-body quantum Bose gases

Mathieu Lewin B, Phan Thành Nam, Nicolas Rougerie

We review our recent result on the rigorous derivation of the renormalized Gibbs measure from the many-body Gibbs state in 1D and 2D. The many-body renormalization is accomplished by simply tuning the chemical potential in the grand-canonical ensemble, which is analogous to the Wick ordering in the classical field theory.

The Gibbs state of the mean-field Bose gas

Andreas Deuchert, Phan Thành Nam, Marcin Napiórkowski

We consider the homogeneous mean-field Bose gas at temperatures proportional to the critical temperature of its Bose-Einstein condensation phase transition. We prove a trace norm approximation for the grand canonical Gibbs state in terms of a reference state, which is given by a convex combination of products of coherent states and Gibbs states associated with certain temperature-dependent Bogoliubov Hamiltonians. The convex combination is expressed as an integral over a Gibbs distribution of a one-mode $Φ^4$-theory describing the condensate. This result justifies an analogue of Lee and Yang's extension of Bogoliubov theory to positive temperatures, and it allows us to derive various limiting distributions for the number of particles in the condensate, as well as precise formulas for the one- and two-particle density matrices of the Gibbs state. Key ingredients of our proof, which are of independent interest, include two novel abstract correlation inequalities. The proof of one of them is based on an application of an infinite-dimensional version of Stahl's theorem.

$\mathcal{P}(Φ)_2$ Theory from many-body quantum Gibbs states

Phan Thành Nam, Zhilin Yang, Xiangchan Zhu

We derive the $\mathcal{P}(Φ)_2$ measure on the two-dimensional unit torus as the rigorous limit of many-body quantum Gibbs states. In particular, the quantum model corresponding to the $Φ^{2p}_2$ measure is formulated in the grand-canonical ensemble with a general symmetric $p$-body interaction potential which is not required to have a factorized form. Unlike in the $Φ^4_2$ case investigated by Fröhlich--Knowles--Schlein--Sohinger in \cite{FKSS25}, in the treatment of higher-order interactions, Wick renormalization generates a full hierarchy of lower-order interactions which we organize systematically using a graphical formalism. One key ingredient of our analysis is a logarithmic stability estimate for both the nonlocal Hartree functional and the many-body Hamiltonian that is uniform in the interaction range, allowing us to use the positivity of the leading $p$-body interaction to control all lower-order terms generated by the Wick counterterms.

The Euclidean $ϕ^4_2$ theory as a limit of an inhomogeneous Bose gas

Cristina Caraci, Antti Knowles, Alessio Ranallo +1 more

We prove that the grand canonical Gibbs state of an interacting two-dimensional quantum Bose gas confined by a trapping potential converges to the complex Euclidean field theory with local quartic self-interaction, when the density of the gas becomes large and the range of the interaction becomes small. We obtain convergence of the relative partition function and convergence in $L^1 \cap L^\infty$ of the renormalised reduced density matrices. The field theory is supported on distributions of negative regularity, which requires a renormalisation by divergent mass and energy counterterms. Unlike previous results in the homogeneous setting of the torus without a trapping potential, the counterterms are not given by a finite collection of scalars but by diverging counterterm functions. This leads to significant new mathematical challenges. For our proof, we also derive quantitative bounds on the Green function of Schrödinger operators and of its gradient, which might be of independent interest.
