A Short Proof of Bose–Einstein Condensation in the Gross–Pitaevskii Regime and Beyond

Abstract

AbstractWe consider dilute Bose gases on the three-dimensional unit torus that interact through a pair potential with scattering length of order $$ N^{\kappa -1}$$ N κ - 1 , for some $$\kappa >0$$ κ > 0 . For the range $$ \kappa \in [0, \frac{1}{43})$$ κ ∈ [ 0 , 1 43 ) , Adhikari et al. (Ann Henri Poincaré 22:1163–1233, 2021) proves complete BEC of low energy states into the zero momentum mode based on a unitary renormalization through operator exponentials that are quartic in creation and annihilation operators. In this paper, we give a new and self-contained proof of BEC of the ground state for $$ \kappa \in [0, \frac{1}{20})$$ κ ∈ [ 0 , 1 20 ) by combining some of the key ideas of Adhikari et al. (Ann Henri Poincaré 22:1163–1233, 2021) with the novel diagonalization approach introduced recently in Brooks (Diagonalizing Bose Gases in the Gross–Pitaevskii Regime and Beyond, arXiv:2310.11347), which is based on the Schur complement formula. In particular, our proof avoids the use of operator exponentials and is significantly simpler than Adhikari et al. (Ann Henri Poincaré 22:1163–1233, 2021).
