Microcanonical finite-size scaling of an ideal Bose gas in a box

Abstract

We derive an exact recursive scheme to determine exactly the microcanonical partition function of a finite Bose system. Such a recursive approach is identical to that previously obtained within the context of counting statistics. Within the exact microcanonical ensemble, we study microcanonical finite-size scaling behaviors of condensate fraction and specific heat around the critical energy ϵ c for the finite ideal Bose system. We show that the microcanonical scaling functions governing the various critical behaviors are universal in the ideal Bose-Einstein condensates.
