Abstract
This paper investigates Bose-Einstein condensation of an ideal gas of finite-spin bosons in an external magnetic field. We generalize Bogolyubov’s theory of a weakly nonideal Bose gas to the case where the gas of finite-spin bosons is located in an external magnetic field. We find the corresponding quasiparticle spectrum and formulate the superfluidity criterion for the boson gas. The magnetization of the weakly nonideal Bose gas is also determined. Finally, we specify a method of studying kinetic processes that take place in a weakly nonideal Bose gas.
