Abstract

In the recent paper (Pulé J V and Zagrebnov V A 2004 The approximating Hamiltonian method for the imperfect boson gas J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 45 3565–83 ) the pressure for the imperfect (mean field) boson gas is derived by a method based on the approximating Hamiltonian argument. We give some comments about this derivation.

The approximating Hamiltonian method for the imperfect boson gas

Joseph V Pulé, Valentin Anatol'evich Zagrebnov

The pressure for the Imperfect (Mean Field) Boson gas can be derived in several ways. The aim of the present note is to provide a new method based on the Approximating Hamiltonian argument which is extremely simple and very general.

Comment on Semiclassical approximations in phase space with coherent states

Michel Baranger, Marcus A. M. de Aguiar, H. J. Korsch

In two recent papers (Baranger et al 2001 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 34 7227; 2002 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 35 9493) co-authored by us, we mentioned the work of Dr Kenneth G Kay (Kay 1994 J. Chem. Phys. 100(6) 4377; 100 4432) in an unfavourable light. In this comment we correct this impression, as it was based on a misunderstanding of his work. The point at issue has been the derivation of the Herman–Kluk formula (Herman and Kluk 1984 Chem. Phys. 91 27). We find Kay's derivation to be the most solid at the moment.

Percolation transition in the Bose gas: II

András Sütö

In an earlier paper (Sütö A 1993 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 26 4689) we introduced the notion of cycle percolation in the Bose gas and conjectured that it occurs if and only if there is Bose–Einstein condensation. Here we give a complete proof of this statement for the perfect and the imperfect (mean-field) Bose gas and also show that in the condensate there is an infinite number of macroscopic cycles.
