Quasi-Particle Description of a Degenerate System of Bosons

Masahiko HIROOKA, Shuichiro Yamasaki

Published Nov 1, 1982• 1 citation

Abstract

The infrared divergence of the interaction among Bogoliubov's quasi· particles in a degener ate boson system can be avoided by introducing improved quasi-particles. A formula is given which relates the single· particle operators ap directly to the improved quasi-particle operators bp ' which have been defined in terms of collective variables in a preceding paper. The operators ap are expressed in terms of bp as a series using N112 as a formal expansion parameter, where N is the number of particles in the system. Terms up to order N312 are given together with a tenn of order N2 which is necessary for the calculation of the ground· state energy to order N2 • The fonnula makes the reason clear why the operators b p enable us to eliminate the ultraviolet divergence haunting collective theories including the quantum hydrodynamics.

Ground-State Energy of a System of Interacting Bose Particles

Masahiko HIROOKA, Shuichiro Yamasaki

The ground-state energy of a system of interacting N-bosons is investigated in a collective formalism. Ultraviolet divergences in perturbation calculations are eliminated by the introduction of quasi-particle operators which are related by a nonlinear canonical transformation to the collective variables, i.e., the density fluctuation operators and their canonical conjugates. The transformation is presented in terms of a series in powers of N−1/2. The ground-state energy appears as a series in powers of N−1. The perturbation contributions of order N−2 to the ground-state energy are calculated. Most of these contributions can be incorporated into the lower order ones which agree with the previously obtained results.

A Microscopic Theory of Superfluids. II: Quasi-Particles and Their Interaction

Shuichiro Yamasaki

A finite temperature system of degenerate bosons is studied with the aid of the extended Bogoliubov transformation which has been proposed in a preceding part I. The energies of quasi-particles and the vertex functions describing their interaction are determined in an approximation which includes the lowest order effects of the interaction between non-zero momentum bosons. The quasi-particle energy depends on the distribution of thermal excitations, and is of phonon type in the long wavelength limit. The phonon nature of the spectrum is preserved by the interaction between quasi-particles, because the vertex functions vanish in the long wavelength limit. In the limit as the condensate is depleted completely, the proposed formalism simplifies to the Hartree-Fock theory.

The Extended Convolution Approximation as a Canonical Transformation in a Degenerate Boson System

Shuichiro Yamasaki, Masahiko HIROOKA

The convolution approximations to the three• particle and four-particle structure functions are incorporated in a non-linear canonical transformation applicable to a system of degenerate bosons.The transformation relates the quasi• particle operators bk to the density fluctuations P k and their canonical conjugates 'P k by way of a formal series in powers of N-ll ', where N is the number of particles.Higher order terms in the series require corrections to the convolution approximations.The next order terms are calculated to improve the approximations to the structure functions.The present formalism provides an unambiguous way of evaluating the residual interaction not taken account of in the trial state, the b•vacuum, which admits the convolution approximation or its extension. § 1.

A Note on the Pair Theory of a Degenerate System of Bosons

Shuichiro Yamasaki

A degenerate system of interacting bosons is analyzed in terms of the quasi-particle operators defined by the Bogoliubov transformation and their canonical products introduced in a previous paper. The analysis leads to a version of the pair theory. It is shown that, contrary to Luban's conclusion, the entropy suffers no discontinuous change when the number of zero-momentum particles decreases to zero and the system becomes non-degenerate.

A Method of a Quasi-Linear Canonical Transformation for the Many-Body Problem. II

Shokichi Kanno

We apply the method of quasi-linear canonical transformation proposed in a previous paper to the system of N interacting bosons, and we calculate the excitation energy for the dilute hard-sphere Bose gas. In our formulation the total number of the particles are exactly conserved in contrast with the Bogoliubov theory. There appears no logarithmic divergent term in the physical quantities which correspond to the self-energy operators Σ11 and Σ02 appearing in the method of Green's function.

Extension of Bogoliubov theory to quasicondensates

Christophe Mora, Yvan Castin

We present an extension of the well-known Bogoliubov theory to treat low-dimensional degenerate Bose gases in the limit of weak interactions and low density fluctuations. We use a density-phase representation and show that a precise definition of the phase operator requires a space discretization in cells of size l. We perform a systematic expansion of the Hamiltonian in terms of two small parameters, the relative density fluctuations inside a cell and the phase change over a cell. The resulting macroscopic observables can be computed in one, two, and three dimensions with no ultraviolet or infrared divergence. Furthermore, this approach exactly matches Bogoliubov's approach when there is a true condensate. We give the resulting expressions for the equation of state of the gas, the ground state energy, and the first order and second order correlation functions of the field. Explicit calculations are done for homogeneous systems.
