Bose-Einstein Condensate in Trapped Systems from a Canonical Point of View — •Konstantin Glaum1, Hagen Kleinert1, and Axel Pelster2 — 1Fachbereich Physik, Freie Universität Berlin, Arnimallee 14, 14195 Berlin, Germany — 2Fachbereich Physik, Universität Duisburg-Essen, Universitätsstraße 5, 45117 Essen, Germany
We develop a perturbative path integral approach for calculating a recursion relation for the partition function of a fixed number N of weakly interacting bosons in different trap configurations. After performing a chain resummation of the perturbative result, we discuss how a two-particle δ-interaction influences the behaviour of the thermodynamic quantities near the quasi-critical point. Furthermore, we show that the heat capacity and the number of particles in the ground state, which defines the quasi-condensate, approach their thermodynamic limits uniformly for all temperatures.
