A density-uniform condensate bound for dilute Bose gases

OpenAI

Published Oct 6, 2026• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

For each fixed bounded measurable, nonnegative, radial interaction of finite range in three dimensions that is not zero almost everywhere, we prove a positive lower bound on the constant-orbital condensate fraction that is uniform over all sufficiently small densities and all temperatures between zero and the square of the density. The interaction and density remain fixed in the thermodynamic limit.

Bose–Einstein condensation at positive temperature in the dilute hard-sphere gas

OpenAI

We prove Bose–Einstein condensation at positive temperature in the three-dimensional dilute hard-sphere gas. For each fixed exclusion distance and every sufficiently small fixed density, there is a strictly positive temperature, independent of the volume, at which the exact canonical Gibbs state has a positive condensate fraction in the thermodynamic limit. The condensate occupies the constant orbital.

Ground-state condensation in the dilute hard-sphere gas

OpenAI

We prove Bose–Einstein condensation in every ground state of a dilute three-dimensional hard-sphere Bose gas. At every sufficiently small fixed gas parameter, the constant orbital contains a positive fraction of the particles in the thermodynamic limit. The fraction can be chosen independently of the gas parameter, and the conclusion holds for arbitrary complex ground states.

Quantum Depletion for Fixed Bounded Repulsive Potentials

OpenAI

We prove the Bogoliubov quantum-depletion asymptotic for the ground state of a three-dimensional Bose gas with a fixed bounded, nonnegative, radial interaction of finite range and positive scattering length a. The thermodynamic limit is taken at each fixed density ρ before the dilute limit. Every thermodynamic accumulation value of the fraction outside the constant mode is \frac{8}{3\sqrt\pi}\sqrt{\rho a^3}+o(\sqrt{\rho a^3}) as \rho\downarrow0. The assertion is uniform over ground-state density matrices and does not require the occupation to have a unique thermodynamic limit.

The free energy of a dilute two-dimensional Bose gas

Mayer, Simon

We study the interacting homogeneous Bose gas in two spatial dimensions in the thermodynamic limit at fixed density. We shall be concerned with some mathematical aspects of this complicated problem in many-body quantum mechanics. More specifically, we consider the dilute limit where the scattering length of the interaction potential, which is a measure for the effective range of the potential, is small compared to the average distance between the particles. We are interested in a setting with positive (i.e., non-zero) temperature. After giving a survey of the relevant literature in the field, we provide some facts and examples to set expectations for the two-dimensional system. The crucial difference to the three-dimensional system is that there is no Bose–Einstein condensate at positive temperature due to the Hohenberg–Mermin–Wagner theorem. However, it turns out that an asymptotic formula for the free energy holds similarly to the three-dimensional case. We motivate this formula by considering a toy model with δ interaction potential. By restricting this model Hamiltonian to certain trial states with a quasi-condensate we obtain an upper bound for the free energy that still has the quasi-condensate fraction as a free parameter. When minimizing over the quasi-condensate fraction, we obtain the Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless critical temperature for superfluidity, which plays an important role in our rigorous contribution. The mathematically rigorous result that we prove concerns the specific free energy in the dilute limit. We give upper and lower bounds on the free energy in terms of the free energy of the non-interacting system and a correction term coming from the interaction. Both bounds match and thus we obtain the leading term of an asymptotic approximation in the dilute limit, provided the thermal wavelength of the particles is of the same order (or larger) than the average distance between the particles. The remarkable feature of this result is its generality: the correction term depends on the interaction potential only through its scattering length and it holds for all nonnegative interaction potentials with finite scattering length that are measurable. In particular, this allows to model an interaction of hard disks.

An upper bound on the condensate fraction in a Bose gas with weak repulsion

Anthony J. Leggett

For a spinless Bose gas moving in three-dimensional free space with an interaction V ( r ) which is everywhere positive, I show that the condensate fraction f is bounded above by an expression parametrized by the quantity nV 0 / kT c (0) ≡η, where n is the density, V 0 the space integral of the interaction potential and T c (0) the critical temperature of the corresponding noninteracting gas. The only assumption needed is that fluctuations in the interacting system have the standard extensivity properties. In particular, for T = T c (0) the upper bound on f is proportional to η 1/3 , while for η 1/3 <<1- T c (0) / T <<1 it is proportional to η/(1-( T c (0) / T ) 3/2 ) 2 .
