Note on a Non Linear Perturbation of the Ideal Bose Gas

Abstract

In this work we show that the introduction of a U(1) symmetry breaking field in the energy operator of the boson-free gas, is equivalent, in the thermodynamic limit, to the inclusion, in the Hamiltonian of the ideal gas, of a non-linear function of the number operator associated with the zero mode. In other words, the limit pressures coincide. Moreover, both models undergo non conventional Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) for strictly negative values of the chemical potential $\mu.$ Finally, the proof of equivalence of limit pressures is extended to a class of full-diagonal models.
