Abstract

Bose-Einstein condensation in a Bose gas is studied analytically, in any positive dimensionality (d>0d>0) for identical bosons with any energy-momentum positive-exponent (s>0s>0) plus an energy gap Δ\Delta between the ground state energy ε0\varepsilon_0 and the first excited state, i.e., ε=ε0\varepsilon=\varepsilon_0 for k=0k=0 and ε=ε0+Δ+csks\varepsilon=\varepsilon_0 +\Delta+ c_sk^s, for k>0k>0, where k\hbar \mathbf{k} is the particle momentum and csc_s a constant with dimensions of energy multiplied by a length to the power s>0s > 0. Explicit formula with arbitrary d/sd/s and Δ\Delta are obtained and discussed for the critical temperature and the condensed fraction, as well as for the equation of state from where we deduce a generalized Δ\Delta independent thermal de Broglie wavelength. Also the internal energy is calculated from where we obtain the isochoric specific heat and its jump at TcT_c. When Δ>0\Delta > 0, a Bose-Einstein critical temperature Tc0T_c \neq 0 exists for any d>0d > 0 at which the internal energy shows a peak and the specific heat shows a jump. Both the critical temperature and the specific heat jump increase as functions of the gap but they decrease as of d/sd/s. At sufficiently high temperatures Δ\Delta- independent classical results are recovered. However, for temperatures below the critical one the gap effects are predominant. For Δ=0\Delta = 0 we recover previous reported results.
