We calculate the superfluid transition temperature of homogeneous interacting Bose gases in three and two spatial dimensions using large-scale path integral Monte Carlo simulations (with up to N=10(5) particles).

We find that this type of universality sets in at small values of the gas parameter na(3)less than or similar to 10(-4). This value is different from the estimate na(3)less than or similar to 10(-6) for the validity of the asymptotic expansion in the limit of vanishing na(3). In 2D we study the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition of a gas with hard-core interactions. For this system we find good agreement with the classical lattice vertical bar psi vertical bar(4) model up to very large densities. We also explain the origin of the existing discrepancy between previous studies of the same problem.

Abstract
We calculate the superfluid transition temperature of homogeneous interacting Bose gases in three and two spatial dimensions using large-scale path integral Monte Carlo simulations (with up to N=10(5) particles). In 3D we investigate the limits of the universal critical behavior in terms of the scattering length alone by using different models for the interatomic potential. We find that this type of universality sets in at small values of the gas parameter na(3)less than or similar to 10(-4). This value is different from the estimate na(3)less than or similar to 10(-6) for the validity of the asymptotic expansion in the limit of vanishing na(3). In 2D we study the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition of a gas with hard-core interactions. For this system we find good agreement with the classical lattice vertical bar psi vertical bar(4) model up to very large densities. We also explain the origin of the existing discrepancy between previous studies of the same problem.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
