Abstract

In a previous paper, the master-graph formulation of the quantum-statistical theory of quantum fluids was developed. If this formulation is used to calculate the equilibrium properties of quantum fluids, apparent divergences are encountered in the low-temperature limit. In the present paper, we transform this theory by means of a $\ensuremath{\Lambda}$ transformation to overcome these apparent low-temperature divergences. In this transformation, the terms in the theory which gave rise to the apparent low-temperature divergences and which represent the dominant low-temperature contributions are summed explicitly to obtain well-behaved expressions. In addition, a consistent method is developed to obtain the corrections to the dominant low-temperature contributions. Explicit expressions for the $\ensuremath{\Lambda}$-transformed theory are given for the cases of a Bose fluid above the Bose-Einstein condensation temperature and for a Fermi fluid. Finally, the physical implications of the $\ensuremath{\Lambda}$ transformation are discussed.
