Abstract
We study theoretically the collective excitations of a spin-orbit-coupled spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate with antiferromagnetic spin-exchange interactions in a cigar-shaped trapping potential at zero and finite temperatures using the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory with Popov approximation. The collective modes at zero temperature are corroborated by real-time evolution of the ground state subjected to a perturbation suitable to excite a density or a spin mode. We also calculate a few low-lying modes analytically and find very good agreement with the numerical results. We confirm the presence of excitations belonging to two broad categories, namely, density and spin excitations, based on the calculation of dispersion. The degeneracy between a pair of spin modes is broken by the spin-orbit coupling. At finite temperature, spin and density excitations show qualitatively different behavior as a function of temperature.
