The description of these systems, as has been shown by Hohenberg and Martin, possesses an internal inconsistency, resulting in either nonconserving theories or yielding an unphysical gap in the spectrum. The general notion of representative statistical ensembles is formulated for arbitrary statistical systems, equilibrium or not. The principal idea of this notion is the necessity of taking into account all imposed conditions that uniquely define the given statistical system. Employing such a representative ensemble for Bose-condensed systems removes all paradoxes, yielding a completely self-consistent theory, both conserving and gapless in any approximation. This is illustrated for an equilibrium uniform Bose system.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-01-21T10:45:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05.30.Ch", "05.30.Jp", "05.70.Ce", "03.75.Hh", "03.75.Kk" ], "keywords": [ "representative statistical ensembles", "broken gauge symmetry", "broken global gauge symmetry", "equilibrium uniform bose system", "bose-condensed systems" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Annals of Physics", "year": 2008, "month": "Feb", "volume": 323, "number": 2, "pages": 461 }, "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 43, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008AnPhy.323..461Y" } } }
