Abstract

Recently the present author developed a diagram formalism applicable to the degenerate Bose fluids.The present author and Hara applied the formalism to show that the long distance 1/r and 1/r 2 behaviors of the pair distribution function are exactly cancelled for interacting Bose fluids.The basic ideas of the formalism have been given in separate articles.It is the purpose of the present article to present the formalism in a unified form.The formalism is developed in the canonical ensemble.However the generating function is used.Hence a criterion of the equivalence of the canonical and grand canonical ensembles is given and used in the discussions.Replacement of operators ao and at by a c•number na' 2 is performed with the same degree of care as Kromminga and Bolsteri took in treating the zero-temperature problem.Hugenholtz and Pines's relation is generalized to finite temperatures.The cancellation of the long-distance 1/r and 1/r 2 behaviors at and below the 'A temperature is briefly discussed.For some of details, readers are requested to read the preceding articles.§ 1. § 2. § 3. § 4. § 5. § 6. § 7. § 8. § 9. §10.§11.§12.§13.§14.§15.§16.Al.Contents Introduction, 70 Operators for the one-and two-particle distribution functions, 73 Second quantization, 73 Canonical and grand canonical ensemble averages, 76 Equivalence of the canonical and grand canonical ensembles, 80 Ideal Bose gas, 83 Diagram expansion for non-degenerate interacting Bose fluids, 87 Lee and Yang's expansion and binary collision expansion, 90 Equivalent Hamiltonian and the averages equivalent to the canonical averages of degenerate Bose fluids, 91 Diagram expansion for degenerate interacting Bose fluids, 95 Distribution functions of the ideal Bose gas, 99 Chain approximation for the degenerate case, 100 Bogolyubov Hamiltonian and Bogolyubov transformation, 102 Cancellation of 1/r and 1/r 2 terms in pC 2 )(r) for the degenerate case 104 Cancellation of 1/r 2 terms in pC 2 )(r) just above TJ.., 107 Discussions and comparison with related works, 108 Calculation for the second quantization, 111 T.

Long-Distance Behaviors of the Pair Distribution Function of Degenerate and Non-Degenerate Bose Fluids

Tohru Morita, Hiroaki Hara

The formalism proposed for degenerate Bose fluids by one of the present authors [T. Morita, Prog. Theor. Phys. 39 (1968), 1100J is extended for the calculation of the one- and two-particle distribution functions. With the aid of the diagram expansion, it is shown that the long-distance l/r and 1/r2 behaviors of the, pair distribution function of the degenerate ideal Bose are exactly canceled in degenerate interacting Bose fluids in general. In the proof, it is assumed that vk/k->= as k-70 for the weakly interacting case and.sa(k, 0) /k-0= as k-00 for the general case, where Vk and .saCk, 0) are the Fourier transforms of interacting potential and of a generalized binary collision kernel, respectively. It is stressed that the Hartree-Fock approximation is insufficient in showing the cancellation of the l/r2 term. In fact, the cancellation is attained by taking account of the averages of the type: <afo-I-k ak ap) and <ap* ak* ap-I,k). For non-degenerate case, the 1/7-2 behavior, which appears Just above the A-point of the ideal Bose gas is als9 shown to be canceled in interacting Bose fluids.

Cluster Expansion for Degenerate Bose Fluids

T. Morita

The diagram expansions which are applicable to the degenerate Bose fluids at finite temperatures are derived within the framework of the canonical ensemble. They are natural extensions of the diagram expansions due to Bloch and Dominicis, Lee and Yang, and Montroll and Ward for the non-degenerate case. The formulation is performed as carefully as Kromminga and Bolsteri treated the Bose fluids at zero temperature.

Cluster Expansion for Quantum Gases. III

Hiroaki Hara, Hiroshi Ichimura, Tohru Morita

The pair distribution function of a hard-sphere Bose gas is evaluated using a modified cluster expansion formula developed in the preceding papers of this series [H. Ichimura, Prog. Theor. Phys. 31 (1964), 538; ibid. 37 (1967), 484]. The contributions for the pair distribution function are expressed in terms of diagrams, and a partial summation of the chain-type diagrams is carried out. The temperature dependence of the resultant expression is investigated for low temperatures, at short and long distances. The result is compared with the expression for the pair distribution function which has been obtained for a weakly interacting Bose gas. The two- and three-particle distribution functions for a degenerate ideal Bose system are derived.

Pair Distribution Function of a Hard Sphere Bose System Calculated by the Pseudo-Potential Method

Leopoldo S. Garcı́a-Colı́n

The pair distribution function for a hard sphere Bose system has been calculated by using a method in which the hard sphere potential is replaced by the so-called pseudo-potential. The problem is carried through using the quasi-particle formalism of Bogoliubov. In this calculation one considers a system of bosons interacting via the pseudo-potential which can be regarded as a weak interaction when the system is very dilute. The Hamiltonian of the system is diagonalized by means of a canonical transformation which has the effect of separating the energy into two parts, one of which is the ground state energy and the other corresponds to an ideal Bose gas composed of ``elementary excitations'' or ``quasi-particles.'' This formalism is applied to the calculation of the pair distribution function. This quantity is calculated by averaging over a grand canonical ensemble constructed with the total number of elementary excitations. A result which is seen to be valid both for the condensed and gaseous phases of the system and also for any distance r between the particles is obtained. A discussion of the difference between these results and the ones obtained in a previous calculation and a comparison between both results and the experimental ones is also given.

Analytic Properties of the One- and Two-Particle Distribution Functions of Bose Fluids

Hiroaki Hara, Tohru Morita

It is the purpose of this article to give an analysis of the one- and two-particle distribution functions of the ideal Bose gas and the hard sphere Bose gas. The distribution functions of the ideal Bose gas are expanded in two forms which are useful for the cases of r ≫λTT and r ≪λT, respectively. The analysis for the hard sphere gas are performed in the chain approximation or the Bogolyubov approximation. Asymptotic forms are given for the various limiting cases separately, where the cases are classified by the relative magnitudes of r/Rc, λT/Rc and unity.

Re-examining the Statistical Mechanics of an Interacting Bose Gas

A. M. Ettouhami

We re-examine the way in which Bogoliubov's theory of a dilute Bose gas at $T=0$ has been extended to describe the statistical mechanics of interacting bosons at finite temperature. We show explicitly that the field-theoretic calculation of the grand partition function in this formulation amounts to a canonical trace over the eigenfunctions of the Bogoliubov Hamiltonian at fixed total number of bosons $N$, and that the additional trace over $N$ that is required in the grand-canonical formalism is never carried out. This implies that what usually passes as the grand-canonical treatment of the Bogoliubov Hamiltonian is not quite grand-canonical, and is in fact a canonical one. We also show that the discontinuity in the condensate density predicted by previous formulations of this theory as the temperature $T$ goes past the critical transition temperature $T_c$ is a direct consequence of an inappropriate generalization of the Bogoliubov prescription to finite temperatures, and that this discontinuity disappears when this prescription is either used as a zero temperature approximation or avoided altogether. Armed with the above findings, we reformulate the statistical mechanics of interacting bosons in the canonical ensemble and derive the thermodynamics of the system. We then show how the canonical treatment can be used to setup a truly grand-canonical description of the statistical mechanics of a weakly interacting Bose gas where the average number of bosons in the system varies with temperature, unlike existing formulations where the total number of bosons $N$ is taken to be a constant that does not depend on $T$. Consequences on the physics of interacting bosons are briefly discussed.
