Kinetic energy of Bose systems and variation of statistical averages

The problem of defining the average kinetic energy of statistical systems is addressed. The conditions of applicability for the formula, relating the average kinetic energy with the mass derivative of the internal energy, are analysed. It is shown that incorrectly using this formula, outside its region of validity, leads to paradoxes. An equation is found for a parametric derivative of the average for an arbitrary operator. A special attention is paid to the mass derivative of the internal energy, for which a general formula is derived, without invoking the adiabatic approximation and taking into account the mass dependence of the potential-energy operator. The results are illustrated by the case of a low-temperature dilute Bose gas.Comment: Latex, 11 page

Number-of-particle fluctuations in systems with Bose-Einstein condensate

Fluctuations of the number of particles for the dilute interacting gas with Bose-Einstein condensate are considered. It is shown that in the Bogolubov theory these fluctuations are normal. The fluctuations of condensed as well as noncondensed particles are also normal both in canonical and grand canonical ensembles.Comment: Latex file, 12 page

Representative Ensembles in Statistical Mechanics

The notion of representative statistical ensembles, correctly representing statistical systems, is strictly formulated. This notion allows for a proper description of statistical systems, avoiding inconsistencies in theory. As an illustration, a Bose-condensed system is considered. It is shown that a self-consistent treatment of the latter, using a representative ensemble, always yields a conserving and gapless theory.Comment: Latex file, 18 page

Hopf algebra of ribbon graphs and renormalization

Connes and Kreimer have discovered a Hopf algebra structure behind renormalization of Feynman integrals. We generalize the Hopf algebra to the case of ribbon graphs, i.e. to the case of theories with matrix fields. The Hopf algebra is naturally defined in terms of surfaces corresponding to ribbon graphs. As an example, we discuss renormalization of $\Phi^4$ theory and the 1/N expansion.Comment: 34 pages, 9 figures, Latex; improved styl

Nonequilibrium Bose systems and nonground-state Bose-Einstein condensates

The theory of resonant generation of nonground-state Bose-Einstein condensates is extended to Bose-condensed systems at finite temperature. The generalization is based on the notion of representative statistical ensembles for Bose systems with broken global gauge symmetry. Self-consistent equations are derived describing an arbitrary nonequilibrium nonuniform Bose system. The notion of finite-temperature topological coherent modes, coexisting with a cloud of noncondensed atoms, is introduced. It is shown that resonant generation of these modes is feasible for a gas of trapped Bose atoms at finite temperature.Comment: Latex file, 16 pages, no figure

Long-Range Correlation of Electron Pairs in the Hubbard Model at Finite Temperatures in Three Dimensions

We show that in the translation invariant case and in the antiferromagnetic phase, the reduced density matrix $\rho _2$ has no off-diagonal long-range order of on-site electron pairs for the single-band Hubbard model on a cubic lattice away from half filling at finite temperatures both for the positive coupling and for the negative coupling. In these cases the model can not give a mechanism for the superconductivity caused by the condensation of on-site electron pairs and the nearest-neighbor electron pairs.Comment: 9 pages, Latex fil

Normal and Anomalous Averages for Systems with Bose-Einstein Condensate

The comparative behaviour of normal and anomalous averages as functions of momentum or energy, at different temperatures, is analysed for systems with Bose-Einstein condensate. Three qualitatively distinct temperature regions are revealed: The critical region, where the absolute value of the anomalous average, for the main energy range, is much smaller than the normal average. The region of intermediate temperatures, where the absolute values of the anomalous and normal averages are of the same order. And the region of low temperatures, where the absolute value of the anomalous average, for practically all energies, becomes much larger than the normal average. This shows the importance of the anomalous averages for the intermediate and, especially, for low temperatures, where these anomalous averages cannot be neglected.Comment: Latex file, 17 pages, 6 figure

Self-Consistent Theory of Bose-Condensed Systems

In the theory of Bose-condensed systems, there exists the well known problem, the Hohenberg-Martin dilemma of conserving versus gapless approximations. This dilemma is analysed and it is shown that it arises because of the internal inconsistency of the standard grand ensemble, as applied to Bose-systems with broken global gauge symmetry. A solution of the problem is proposed, based on the notion of representative statistical ensembles, taking into account all constraints imposed on the system. A general approach for constructing representative ensembles is formulated. Applying a representative ensemble to Bose-condensed systems results in a completely self-consistent theory, both conserving and gapless in any approximation.Comment: Latex file, 12 page

Bose-Einstein-condensed gases in arbitrarily strong random potentials

Bose-Einstein-condensed gases in external spatially random potentials are considered in the frame of a stochastic self-consistent mean-field approach. This method permits the treatment of the system properties for the whole range of the interaction strength, from zero to infinity, as well as for arbitrarily strong disorder. Besides a condensate and superfluid density, a glassy number density due to a spatially inhomogeneous component of the condensate occurs. For very weak interactions and sufficiently strong disorder, the superfluid fraction can become smaller than the condensate fraction, while at relatively strong interactions, the superfluid fraction is larger than the condensate fraction for any strength of disorder. The condensate and superfluid fractions, and the glassy fraction always coexist, being together either nonzero or zero. In the presence of disorder, the condensate fraction becomes a nonmonotonic function of the interaction strength, displaying an antidepletion effect caused by the competition between the stabilizing role of the atomic interaction and the destabilizing role of the disorder. With increasing disorder, the condensate and superfluid fractions jump to zero at a critical value of the disorder parameter by a first-order phase transition
