Effective field theory approach to Bose–Einstein condensation
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the low-energy collective excitations at finite temperature of Bose– Einstein condensed gases (and liquids as well). A most general model-independent effective Lagrangian is written down according to a prescription obtained from the breakdown of the global symmetry U(1). To show how the theory predicts easily, we derive the momentum and temperature dependence of the damping of excitations by means of power counting as an example.

Bose-Einstein condensation in self-consistent mean-field theory
There is a wide-spread belief in the literature on Bose-Einstein condensation of interacting atoms that all variants of mean-field theory incorrectly describe the condensation phase transition, exhibiting, instead of the necessary second-order transition, a first-order transition, even for weakly interacting Bose gas. In the present paper, it is shown that a self-consistent mean-field approach ...
متن کاملEffective Action Approach to Bose-Einstein Condensation of Ideal Gases
We present a short review of how the effective action formalism, well known in relativistic quantum field theory, can be used to discuss Bose-Einstein condensation of non-relativistic gases. This method lends itself very naturally to an interpretation of Bose-Einstein condensation in terms of symmetry breaking. It also allows for the definition of a very elegant regularization technique involvi...
متن کاملThe Effect of Weak Interactions on the Ultra-Relativistic Bose-Einstein Condensation Temperature
We calculate the ultra-relativistic Bose-Einstein condensation temperature of a complex scalar field with weak λ(Φ†Φ)2 interaction. To do this we dimensionally reduce the theory, then perform a non-perturbative analysis on the resulting effective three-dimensional theory. For simplicity and ease of implementation we use the linear delta expansion.
متن کاملAlpha matter on a lattice
We obtain the equation of state of interacting alpha matter and the critical temperature of Bose-Einstein condensation of alpha particles within an effective scalar field theory. We start from a non-relativistic model of uniform alpha matter interacting with attractive two-body and repulsive three-body potentials and reformulate this model as a O(2) symmetric scalar φ6 field theory with negativ...
متن کاملRandom point field approach to analysis of anisotropic Bose-Einstein condensations
Position distributions of constituent particles of the perfect Bose-gas trapped in exponentially and polynomially anisotropic boxes are investigated by means of the boson random point fields (processes) and by the spatial random distribution of particle density. Our results include the case of generalised Bose-Einstein Condensation. For exponentially anisotropic quasi two-dimensional system (SL...
