Abstract

I review recent theoretical treatments of a dilute interacting condensed Bose gas in a trap. Bogoliubov's classic results for a uniform condensate are generalized to include the effect of a trap, using the Gross-Pitaevskii formalism (for the condensate) and the Bogoliubov equations (for the linearized small-amplitude excitations of the condensate). Several recent theoretical studies are discussed along with some open questions.
