On condensation for an interacting boson system

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1965-1970)

Summary

An infinite system of interacting bosons at temperatureT=0 is studied by a first-order self-consistent method. It is shown that such system may exhibit condensation in single-particle states or in more-particle states. The condensation in one or the other state depends on the interaction potential. Then we analyse the existence or other-wise of the gap in the excitation spectrum making use of theorems valid for systems which exhibit a broken symmetry.

Riassunto

Facendo uso di un metodo autocompatibile al primo ordine viene studiato un sistema infinito di bosoni interagenti a temperaturaT=0. Si mostra che tale sistema può presentare condensazione in uno stato di singole particelle o di più particelle. La condensazione nell’uno o nell’altro stato dipende dal potenziale di interazione. Si analizza poi l’esistenza o meno di un «gap» nello spettro dell’energia sulla base di teoremi validi in sistemi che presentano rottura di simmetria.
