Diagrammatic derivation of Bose condensate fractions
Tilo Wettig B, Andrew David Jackson
Abstract
We describe a diagrammatic calculation of the condensate fraction of dense and strongly interacting Bose systems at zero temperature using the framework of parquet theory. Starting from the proper self-energy of parquet theory we perform a major rearrangement of diagrams to ensure proper counting and to express the final result in terms of well-behaved quantities. A number of interesting limiting cases are considered, in particular the hard sphere Bose gas at low densities where analytical results can be obtained. The present formalism is well-suited for extension to finite temperatures, and we consider possible strategies in that direction. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.
