Abstract

We compute the energy needed to add or remove one particle from a homogeneous system of N bosons on a torus. We focus on the mean-field limit when N becomes large and the strength of particle interactions is proportional to \(N^{-1}\), which allows us to justify Bogoliubov’s approximation.

Notes

  1. Strictly speaking, for \(a_0^*a_0^*a_0a_0\) we should rewrite it as \((a_0^*a_0)^2-a_0^*a_0\) before doing the substitution.
