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
Covariant description of kinetic freeze out through a finite time-like layer
The Freeze Out (FO) problem is addressed for a covariant FO probability and a
finite FO layer with a time-like normal vector continuing the line of studies
introduced in Ref. [1]. The resulting post FO momentum distribution functions
are presented and discussed. We show that in general the post FO distributions
are non-thermal and asymmetric distributions even for time-like FO situations.Comment: 10 pages, 12 figures, major rewrite with changed content, corrected

Linear Continuum Mechanics for Quantum Many-Body Systems
We develop the continuum mechanics of quantum many-body systems in the linear
response regime. The basic variable of the theory is the displacement field,
for which we derive a closed equation of motion under the assumption that the
time-dependent wave function in a locally co-moving reference frame can be
described as a geometric deformation of the ground-state wave function. We show
that this equation of motion is exact for systems consisting of a single
particle, and for all systems at sufficiently high frequency, and that it leads
to an excitation spectrum that has the correct integrated strength. The theory
is illustrated by simple model applications to one- and two-electron systems.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure, 1 tabl
Modified semiclassical approximation for trapped Bose gases
A generalization of the semiclassical approximation is suggested allowing for
an essential extension of its region of applicability. In particular, it
becomes possible to describe Bose-Einstein condensation of a trapped gas in
low-dimensional traps and in traps of low confining dimensions, for which the
standard semiclassical approximation is not applicable. The results of the
modified approach are shown to coincide with purely quantum-mechanical
calculations for harmonic traps, including the one-dimensional harmonic trap.
The advantage of the semiclassical approximation is in its simplicity and
generality. Power-law potentials of arbitrary powers are considered. Effective
thermodynamic limit is defined for any confining dimension. The behaviour of
the specific heat, isothermal compressibility, and density fluctuations is
analyzed, with an emphasis on low confining dimensions, where the usual
semiclassical method fails. The peculiarities of the thermodynamic
characteristics in the effective thermodynamic limit are discussed.Comment: Revtex file, 13 page
Molecular formations in ultracold mixtures of interacting and noninteracting atomic gases
Atom-molecule equilibrium for molecular formation processes is discussed for
boson-fermion, fermion-fermion, and boson-boson mixtures of ultracold atomic
gases in the framework of quasichemical equilibrium theory. After presentation
of the general formulation, zero-temperature phase diagrams of the
atom-molecule equilibrium states are calculated analytically; molecular, mixed,
and dissociated phases are shown to appear for the change of the binding energy
of the molecules. The temperature dependences of the atom or molecule densities
are calculated numerically, and finite-temperature phase structures are
obtained of the atom-molecule equilibrium in the mixtures. The transition
temperatures of the atom or molecule Bose-Einstein condensations are also
evaluated from these results. Quantum-statistical deviations of the law of mass
action in atom-molecule equilibrium, which should be satisfied in mixtures of
classical Maxwell-Boltzmann gases, are calculated, and the difference in the
different types of quantum-statistical effects is clarified. Mean-field
calculations with interparticle interactions (atom-atom, atom-molecule, and
molecule-molecule) are formulated, where interaction effects are found to give
the linear density-dependent term in the effective molecular binding energies.
This method is applied to calculations of zero-temperature phase diagrams,
where new phases with coexisting local-equilibrium states are shown to appear
in the case of strongly repulsive interactions.Comment: 35 pages, 14 figure
