Abstract
The two approaches of consistent quantum field theory for systems of the trapped Bose–Einstein condensates are known, one is the Bogoliubov–de Gennes approach and the other is the generalized Bogoliubov approach. In this paper, we investigate the relation between the two approaches and show that they are formally equivalent to each other. To do this one must carefully treat the Nambu–Goldstone mode which plays a crucial role in the condensation. It is emphasized that the choice of vacuum is physically relevant.
