چکیده
We study the lengths of the cycles formed by trajectories in the Feynman-Kac representation of the Bose gas. We discuss the occurrence of infinite cycles and their relation to Bose-Einstein condensation.

The Model of Interacting Spatial Permutations and Its Relation to the Bose Gas
The model of spatial permutations is related to the Feynman-Kac representation of the Bose gas. The transition to infinite cycles corresponds to Bose-Einstein condensation. We review the general setting and some results, and we derive a multi-body interaction between permutation jumps, that is due to the original interactions between quantum particles.
متن کاملInteracting Bose gas on the Lattice
A Lower bound for the density of a Bose gas in Z in the grand canonical ensemble is calculated for general dimension d, and for l(Z) potential interactions. The rigorous formalism of the measure on continuous time random walks, analogous to the Wiener measure, is briefly explained, along with justification of the Feynman-Kac formula using this. These are then used to bound the density, although...
متن کاملFeynman - Kac path integral approach for the energy spectrum of many boson systems
We study the ground and excited states of weakly interacing Bose gases (with positive and negative scattering lengths) in connection with Bose Einstein condensation. They behave as new quantum fluids (a gas in the weak limit and a liquid in the dense limit and we study their many body physics in the dilute limit within the realistic potential model (Morse type) by Feynman-Kac path integral tech...
متن کاملFinite Temperature Excitations of a Trapped Bose Gas by Feynman-Kac Path Integral Approach
We present results from a detailed Quantum Monte Carlo study of BEC applied to JILA experiment[Jin et al, Phys. Rev. Lett.78,764,1997]. This is the first Monte Carlo approach ( based on Feynman-Kac path integral method) to the above problem where good agreement is found for both the lowest lying m = 2 and m = 0 mode. We found an upward shift of experimental data for m = 0 mode at around T = 0.7...
متن کاملRelation between Feynman cycles and off-diagonal long-range order.
The usual order parameter for Bose-Einstein condensation involves the off-diagonal correlation function of Penrose and Onsager, but an alternative is Feynman's notion of infinite cycles. We present a formula that relates both order parameters. We discuss its validity with the help of rigorous results and heuristic arguments. The conclusion is that infinite cycles do not always represent the Bos...
