To investigate Bose-Einstein condensation for interacting bosons, usually the largest eigenvalue of their one-particle reduced density matrix is calculated. For lattice systems of N hard-core bosons on d sites we take a complementary viewpoint: Independent of the spatial dimension and any further microscopic details we prove that the hard-core constraint enforces a universal upper bound on occupation numbers given by Nmax=(N/d)(d−N+1). It can only be attained for one-particle states |ϕ⟩ with equal amplitudes with respect to the hard-core basis (sites) and when the corresponding N-particle state |Ψ⟩ is maximally delocalized. We show that the maximizing state |Ψ⟩ is related to the ground state of a bosonic ‘Hubbard star’ showing Bose-Einstein condensation.
