Temperature-dependent Bogoliubov approximation in the classical field approach to weakly interacting Bose gases.

Mirosław Brewczyk, Peter Borowski, Mariusz Gajda and Kazimierz Rzążewski

A classical field approximation to the finite temperature microcanonical thermodynamics of weakly interacting Bose gases is applied to the idealized case of atoms confined in a box with periodic boundary conditions. The whole isolated system is described by a set of classical amplitudes. We show that if the system is in equilibrium the classical amplitudes follow the equipartition theorem which allows us to assign a unique temperature to each given energy state. We also analyse the spectral properties of classical amplitudes and obtain nonperturbative results for the chemical potential as well as temperature-dependent Bogoliubov frequencies and their damping rates. Where available, we make comparison with the analytical estimates of these quantities.
