Abstract

In a gas of N weakly interacting bosons [1,2], a truncated canonic Hamiltonian Hc follows from dropping all the interaction terms between free bosons with momentum ℏk≠0. Bogoliubov Canonic Approximation (BCA) is a further manipulation, replacing the number operator Ñin of free particles in k=0, with the total number N of bosons. BCA Hc transforms into a different Hamiltonian HBCA=∑k≠0ϵ(k)Bk†Bk+const, where Bk† and Bk create/annihilate non interacting pseudoparticles. The problem of the exact eigenstates of the truncated Hamiltonian is completely solved in the thermodynamic limit (TL) for a special class of eigensolutions |S,k)c, denoted as 's-pseudobosons', with energies ES(k) and zero total momentum. Some preliminary results are given for the exact eigenstates (denoted as 'η-pseudobosons'), carrying a total momentum ηℏk (η=1,2,⋯). A comparison is done with HBCA and with the Gross-Pitaevskii theory (GPT), showing that some differences between exact and BCA/GPT results persist even in the thermodynamic limit (TL). Finally, it is argued that the emission of η-pseudobosons, which is responsible for the dissipation á la Landau [3], could be significantly different from the usual picture, based on BCA pseudobosons.
