Upper Bound for the Free Energy of Dilute Bose Gases at Low Temperature

Abstract

We consider a Bose gas at density $\rho > 0$, interacting through a repulsive potential $V \in L^2 (\mathbb{R}^3)$ with scattering length $\mathfrak{a} > 0$. We prove an upper bound for the free energy of the system, valid at low temperature $T \lesssim \rho \mathfrak{a}$. Combined with the recent lower bound obtained in \cite{HabHaiNamSeiTri-23}, our estimate resolves the free energy per unit volume up to and including the Lee--Huang--Yang order $\mathfrak{a} \rho^2 (\rho \mathfrak{a}^3)^{1/2}$.
