  abstract  = {We study a model describing a rotating linear rigid molicule interacting with a Bose-Einstein condensate. A generalization of the Landau criterion is established and gives the limit for which the molecule moves translationally and rotationally into the condensate without any friction. In particular, we show that the rotational energy released by the molecule is large enough to eject one atom out of the condensate. The detection of such an atom provides a direct measurement of the low-energy cross section of the scattering with the rotating molecule. Finally, increases of inertia and of centrifugal distortion of the molecule due to the surrounding condensate are estimated and compared with the experimental data obtained for a He4 droplet.},

  year      = {1999},
  abstract  = {We derive exact thermodynamic identities relating the average number of condensed atoms and the root-mean- square fluctuations determined in different statistical ensembles for the weakly interacting Bose gas confined in a box. This is achieved by introducing the concept of auxiliary partition functions for model Hamiltonians that do conserve the total number of particles. Exploiting such thermodynamic identities, we provide the first, completely analytical prediction of the microcanonical particle number fluctuations in the weakly interacting Bose gas. Such fluctuations, as a function of the volume V of the box are found to behave normally, in contrast wiht the anomalous scaling behaviour V3/ 4 of the fluctuations in the ideal Bose gas.},

  title     = {Fluctuation of the Weakly Interacting Bose-Einstein Condensate},
  year      = {1999},
  abstract  = {We consider the role of weak interaction on the fluctuations of the number of condensed atoms within canonical and microanonical ensembles. Unlike the correspinding case of the ideal gas this is not a clean, well-defined problem of mathematical physics. Two related reasons are the following: there is no unique way of defining the condensate fraction of the interacting system and no exact energy levels of the interacting system are known.},
