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.

The thermostatistical properties of an ideal gas of q -deformed bosons trapped in a D -dimensional power-law potential are studied, based on the q -deformed Bose–Einstein distribution. The effects of q -deformation on the properties of the system are discussed. It is shown that q -deformed bosons ( q ≠ 1) possess many different characteristics from those of ordinary bosons, which include the condition that Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) occurs, the critical temperature and the continuity of heat capacity.
