Abstract

We study the Bose-Einstein condensation of a gas with SUq(2) symmetry. We show, in the thermodynamic limit, that the boson interactions introduced by the quantum group symmetries enhance Bose-Einstein condensation giving a discontinuity in the heat capacity Cv at the critical temperature Tc. The critical temperature and the gap in Cv increase with the value of the parameter q and become approximately constant for q>3.
