The ground state energy of a low density Bose gas: a second order upper bound

Abstract

Consider $N$ bosons in a finite box $Λ= [0,L]^3\subset \bR^3$ interacting via a two-body nonnegative soft potential $V=\lambda \tilde{V}$ with $\tilde{V}$ fixed and $\lambda >0$ small. We will take the limit $L,N\to \infty$ by keeping the density $\varrho =N/L^3$ fixed and small. We construct a variational state which gives an upper bound on the ground state energy per particle $\e$ $$ \e \le 4π\varrho a \Big [1+ \frac{128}{15\sqrtπ}(\varrho a^3)^{1/2}S_λ\Big ] + O(\varrho^2|\log\varrho|), \quad {as $\varrho\to 0$} $$ with a constant satisfying $$1\le S_{\lambda }\le 1+C\lambda .$$ Here $a$ is the scattering length of $V$ and thus depends on $\lambda$. In comparison, the prediction by Lee-Yang \cite{LYang} and Lee-Huang-Yang \cite{LHY} asserts that $S_{\lambda }=1$ independent of $\lambda$.
