Two-Dimensional Weakly Interacting Bose Gas in the Fluctuation Region

Abstract

We study the crossover between the mean-field and critical behavior of the two-dimensional Bose gas throughout the fluctuation region of the Berezinskii--Kosterlitz--Thouless phase transition point. We argue that this crossover is described by universal (for all weakly interacting |psi|^4 models) relations between thermodynamic parameters of the system, including superfluid and quasi-condensate densities. We establish these relations with high-precision Monte Carlo simulations of the classical |psi|^4 model on a lattice, and check their asymptotic forms against analytic expressions derived on the basis of the mean-field theory.
