TL;DR
The paper establishes a rigorous thermodynamic limit for the grand canonical Bose gas with superstable, finite-range interactions within the Feynman–Kac path-space framework, for all inverse temperatures $β>0$ and chemical potentials $μ∈ℝ$. It introduces and analyzes three equivalent representations—FK path space, rooted loops, and marked points—then proves the existence of an infinite-volume, stationary FK measure $\mathbb{P}_{\infty}^{(FK)}$ via an entropic method, and shows that under finite-range interactions this limit satisfies DLR equations describing local conditional Gibbs structure. The work further proves thermodynamic-limit results for the rl and mp models, establishes their equivalence with FK in finite volume, and extends locality concepts to the infinite-volume setting, paving the way to study interlacements and Bose–Einstein condensation phenomena within a Gibbsian infinite-volume framework. These contributions provide a solid probabilistic foundation for analyzing infinite cycles and possible interlacement formation in interacting Bose gases. Overall, the paper offers a unified, rigorous route from FK representations to DLR-described infinite-volume Gibbs states, with implications for understanding BEC and related percolation phenomena in quantum gases.
Abstract
We construct a thermodynamic limit for the grand canonical Bose gas in dimension $d\geqslant1$ (in its Feynman-Kac representation) with superstable interaction at any inverse temperature $β>0$ and any chemical potential $μ\in\mathbb{R}$. Our infinite volume model is naturally a distribution over configurations of finite loops and possibly interlacements. We prove the limiting process to solve a new class of DLR equations involving random permutations and Brownian paths.
