On the collective excitations and the existence of the gap in the degenerate Bose gas spectrum
Viktor Borisovich Bobrov, С. А. Тригер
Abstract
Themodel of degenerate weakly nonideal Bose gas is considered without the assumption on the C -number nature of creation and annihilation operators of particles in the zero-momentum state. It was shown that the “density-density” Green’s function pole defines the Bogolyubov spectrum of phonon-roton-type collective excitations. The single-particle excitation spectrum is characterized by the gap whose value is defined by the particle density in the “condensate”.
