Mathematical structure of magnons in quantum ferromagnets
We provide the mathematical structure and a simple, transparent and rigorous derivation of the magnons as elementary quasi-particle excitations at low temperatures and in the infinite spin limit for a large class of Heisenberg ferromagnets. The magnon canonical variables are obtained as fluctuation operators in the infinite spin limit. Their quantum character is governed by the size of the magnetization.</p
On the Finite-Temperature Generalization of the C-theorem and the Interplay between Classical and Quantum Fluctuations
The behavior of the finite-temperature C-function, defined by Neto and
Fradkin [Nucl. Phys. B {\bf 400}, 525 (1993)], is analyzed within a d
-dimensional exactly solvable lattice model, recently proposed by Vojta [Phys.
Rev. B {\bf 53}, 710 (1996)], which is of the same universality class as the
quantum nonlinear O(n) sigma model in the limit . The scaling
functions of C for the cases d=1 (absence of long-range order), d=2 (existence
of a quantum critical point), d=4 (existence of a line of finite temperature
critical points that ends up with a quantum critical point) are derived and
analyzed. The locations of regions where C is monotonically increasing (which
depend significantly on d) are exactly determined. The results are interpreted
within the finite-size scaling theory that has to be modified for d=4.

BEC for a Coupled Two-type Hard Core Bosons Model
We study a solvable model of two types hard core Bose particles. A complete
analysis is given of its equilibrium states including the proof of existence of
Bose-Einstein condensation. The plasmon frequencies and the quantum normal
modes corresponding to these frequencies are rigorously constructed. In
particular we show a two-fold degeneracy of these frequencies. We show that all
this results from spontaneous gauge symmetry breakdown
Imperfect Bose Gas with Attractive Boundary Conditions
The free Bose gas with attractive boundary conditions is an interesting toy
model for the study of Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC), because one has BEC
already in one dimension. Here we study for the first time the imperfect Bose
gas with these boundary conditions and prove rigorously the occurence of
condensation.Comment: 8 page
A Dicke Type Model for Equilibrium BEC Superradiance
We study the effect of electromagnetic radiation on the condensate of a Bose
gas. In an earlier paper we considered the problem for two simple models
showing the cooperative effect between Bose-Einstein condensation and
superradiance. In this paper we formalise the model suggested by Ketterle et al
in which the Bose condensate particles have a two level structure. We present a
soluble microscopic Dicke type model describing a thermodynamically stable
system. We find the equilibrium states of the system and compute the
thermodynamic functions giving explicit formulae expressing the cooperative
effect between Bose-Einstein condensation and superradiance
Non-Extensive Bose-Einstein Condensation Model
The imperfect Boson gas supplemented with a gentle repulsive interaction is
completely solved. In particular it is proved that it has non-extensive
Bose-Einstein condensation, i.e., there is condensation without macroscopic
occupation of the ground state (k=0) level
