AbstractWe consider the homogeneous Bose gas on a unit torus in the mean-field regime when the interaction strength is proportional to the inverse of the particle number. In the limit when the number of particles becomes large, we derive a two-term expansion of the one-body density matrix of the ground state. The proof is based on a cubic correction to Bogoliubov’s approximation of the ground state energy and the ground state.

The ground-state properties of a two-component Fermi gas with attractive short-range interactions are calculated using the fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo method. The interaction strength is varied over a wide range by tuning the value a of the s-wave scattering length of the two-body potential. We calculate the energy per particle, the one- and two-body density matrix as a function of the interaction strength. Results for the momentum distribution of the atoms, as obtained from the Fourier transform of the one-body density matrix, are reported as a function of the interaction strength. Off-diagonal long-range order in the system is investigated through the asymptotic behavior of the two-body density matrix. The condensate fraction of pairs is calculated in the unitary limit and on both sides of the BCS-BEC crossover.

Abstract For the canonical density matrix C(r, r0,β) a variational ansatz C̄̄f = (1 - f̄) Ccl + f̄ Cgr is made where Ccl and Cgr are the classical and the ground state expressions which are exact in the high temperature (β → 0) and in the low-temperature limits (β → + ∞), respectively, and f̄ is a trial function subject to the restriction that f̄ → 0 for β → 0 and f̄ → 1 for β → ∞. With the approximation that f̄ be dependent only upon β, not upon spatial variables, the mean square error arising when Cf is inserted into the Bloch equation is made a minimum. The Euler equation for this variational problem is an ordinary second order differential equation for f̄=f(β) to be solved numerically. The method is tested for the exactly solvable case of the one dimensional harmonic oscillator.

We discuss the effect of different types of fluctuations on dynamos generated in the limit of scale separation. We first recall that the magnetic field observed in the VKS (von Karman flow of liquid sodium) experiment is not the one that would be generated by the mean flow alone and that smaller scale turbulent fluctuations therefore play an important role. We then consider how velocity fluctuations affect the dynamo threshold in the framework of mean-field magnetohydrodynamics. We show that the detrimental effect of turbulent fluctuations observed with many flows disappears in the case of helical flows with scale separation. We also find that fluctuations of the electrical conductivity of the fluid, for instance related to temperature fluctuations in convective flows, provide an efficient mechanism for dynamo action. Finally, we conclude by describing an experimental configuration that could be used to test the validity of mean-field magnetohydrodynamics in strongly turbulent flows.
