Strong connection between single-particle and density excitations in Bose-Einstein condensates

Abstract

Strong connection between the single-particle and collective excitations stands out as one of the features of Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). We discuss theoretically these excitations of BECs focusing on the exact properties of the one-body and two-body Green's functions developed by Gavoret and Nozières. We also investigate these excitations by using the many-body approximation theory at nonzero temperatures. First, we revisited the earlier study presented by Gavoret and Nozières, involving the subsequent results given by Nepomnyashchii and Nepomnyashchii, in terms of the matrix formalism representation. This formalism is an extension of the Nambu representation for the single-particle Green's function of BECs to discuss the density and current response functions efficiently. We describe the exact low-energy properties of the correlation functions and the vertex functions, and discuss the correspondence of the spectra between the single-particle and density excitations in the low-energy and low-momentum limits at $T=0$. After deriving the exact low-energy structures of the one-body and two-body Green's functions, we develop a many-body approximation theory of BECs using the matrix formalism for describing the single-particle Green's function and the density response function at nonzero temperatures. We show how the peaks of the single-particle spectral function and the density response function behave with an increasing temperature. Many-body effect on the single-particle spectral function and the density response function is included within a random phase approximation, where satellite structures emerge because of beyond-mean-field effects. Criticisms are also made on recent theories casting doubt upon the conventional wisdom of the BEC: the equivalence of the dispersion relations between the single-particle and collective excitations in the low-energy and low-momentum regime.
