Reduced Density Matrices of Quantum Gases. III. Hard-Core Potentials

J. Ginibre

Published Sep 1, 1965• 48 citations
Publisher

Abstract

In two previous papers, the reduced density matrices of quantum gases, in the grand canonical formalism and for suitably restricted interaction potentials, have been shown to be analytic vector-valued functions of the activity in a neighborhood of the origin, to tend in some sense to well-defined limits as the volume of the system becomes infinite, and to satisfy a cluster decomposition property. The same results are extended here by the same methods to a wider class of potentials, including hard-core, and allowing attractive interactions, which were excluded previously.

Reduced Density Matrices of Quantum Gases. I. Limit of Infinite Volume

J. Ginibre

The reduced density matrices for quantum gases are studied by Banach space techniques. For suitably restricted interactions, they are shown to be analytic functions of the activity. As the volume of the system becomes infinite, they tend in some sense to well-defined limits for which the same analyticity properties hold. As a consequence, the virial expansion is shown to be convergent in a neighborhood of the origin.

Reduced Density Matrices of Quantum Gases. II. Cluster Property

J. Ginibre

The reduced density matrices of quantum gases are studied by means of a Wiener integral representation described in a previous paper. They are shown to satisfy a cluster property in the form of an absolute integrability condition of the natural quantum analogues of the Ursell functions, considered as functions of the differences of their arguments. Use is made of the natural transposition to the quantum case of the algebraic formalism introduced by Ruelle in the classical case. By-products are two results on the signs of the coefficients of the Mayer expansion, in the case of Maxwell-Boltzmann and Fermi-Dirac statistics, respectively.

Cluster Expansion for Quantum Gases. IV

Hiroaki Hara, Hiroshi Ichimura

A form of the cluster expansion which will be suitable for degenerate quantum gases is introduced based on the grand canonical distribution and its relation to the usual Green's function formalism is discussed. The formula for the temperature dependence of the “condensed part” of the hard-sphere Bose gas is derived and the location of the Bose-Einstein condensation temperature of the system is discussed.

Cluster Expansion for Quantum Gases. II

Hiroshi Ichimura

A modified cluster expansion formula of the reduced density matrix for quantum gases is derived following the procedure analogous to the method which has been introduced in a previous paper (Prog. Theor. Phys. 31 (1964), 538) in connection with the cluster expansion of the partition function. This new cluster expansion formula is useful in highly degenerate cases. As an example, the effect of the hard-sphere interaction on the Bose-Einstein condensation is discussed.

Many-Body Point Transforms. II. An Exact Noncluster Approach to the Hard-Core Many-Body Problem

Norman M. Witriol

The method of many-body point transforms previously developed by the author is modified to eliminate the interacting particle cluster formalism. The cutoff terms in the transformation, and thus in the Hamiltonian, are therefore removed. For the hard-core many-body problem, as in the previous work, a Hamiltonian is obtained which is Fourier analyzable, Hermitian and amenable to ordinary perturbation and variational techniques while still being equivalent to the original Hamiltonian. No approximations are made. It is demonstrated that the use of the standard zeroth-order approximation of the ground state Bose system, i.e., a constant, for the transformed wavefunction gives a negative expectation value of the energy for the hard core system. This discrepancy arises from the extended range of the new potential generated by the transformation, which necessitates explicit consideration of boundary conditions not satisfied by the above wavefunction.
