Abstract:
We evaluate finite-temperature equilibrium correlators корреляторы $\langle T_\tau \hat{\psi}({\bold r}_1) \hat{\psi}^\dagger({\bold r}_2)\rangle$ for thermal time
$\tau$ ordered Bose fields полей
$\hat{\psi}$,
$\hat{\psi}^\dagger$ to good approximations by new methods of functional integration in
$d=1,2,3$ dimensions and with the trap potentials
$V({\bold r})\not\equiv0$. As in the translationally invariant cases, asymptotic behaviors fall as
$R^{-1}\equiv|{\bold r}_1-{\bold r}_2|^{-1}$ to longer-range condensate values for and only for
$d=3$ in agreement with experimental observations; but there are generally significant corrections also depending on
${\bold S}\equiv({\bold r}_1+{\bold r}_2)/2$ due to the presence of the traps. For
$d=1$, we regain the exact translationally invariant results as the trap frequencies
$\Omega\rightarrow0$. In analyzing the attractive cases, we investigate the time-dependent
$c$-number Gross–Pitaevskii (GP) equation with the trap potential for a generalized nonlinearity
$-2c\psi|\psi|^{2n}$ and
$c<0$. For
$n=1$, the stationary form of the GP equation appears in the steepest-descent approximation of the functional integrals. We show that collapse in the sense of Zakharov can occur for
$c<0$ and
$nd\geq2$ and a functional
$E_{\textup{NLS}}[\psi]\leq0$ even when
$V({\bold r})\not\equiv0$. The singularities typically arise as
$\delta$-functions centered on the trap origin
${\bold r}={\bold 0}$.
