On a condition for type-I Bose-Einstein condensation in random potentials in $d$ dimensions

Abstract

In this paper we discuss Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in systems of pairwise non-interacting bosons in random potentials in $d$ dimensions. Working in a rather general framework, we provide a "gap condition" which is sufficient to conclude existence of type-I BEC in probability and in the $r$th mean. We illustrate our results in the context of the well-known (one-dimensional) Luttinger-Sy model. Here, whenever the particle density exceeds a critical value, we show in addition that only the ground state is macroscopically occupied.
