Abstract

Starting from the Bogoliubov diagonalization for the Hamiltonian of a weakly interacting Bose gas under the presence of a Bose-Enstein Condensate, we derive the kinetic equation for the Bogoliubov excitations. Without dropping any of the commutators, we find three collisional processes. One of them describes the 121\leftrightarrow2 interactions between the condensate and the excited atoms. The other two describe the 222\leftrightarrow2 and 131\leftrightarrow3 interactions between the excited atoms themselves.
