Abstract

We study the stochastic behavior of a set of chaotic vortex loops appeared in imperfect Bose gas. Dynamics of Bose-gas is supposed to obey Gross-Pitaevskii equation with additional noise satisfying fluctuation-dissipation relation. The corresponding Fokker-Planck equation for probability functional has solution P({ψ(r)})=Nexp(H{ψ(r)}/T),{\cal P}(\{{\psi}({\bf r})\})={\cal N}\exp (-H\{{\psi}({\bf r)}\} /T), where H{ψ(r)}H\{{\psi}({\bf r})\} is the Ginzburg-Landau free energy. Considering vortex filaments as topological defects of field ψ(r){\psi}({\bf r}) we derive a Langevin-type equation of motion of the line with the correspondingly transformed stirring force. The respective Fokker-Planck equation for probability functional P({s(ξ)}){\cal P}(\{{\bf s}(\xi)\}) in vortex loop configuration space is shown to have a solution in the form of P({s(ξ)})=Nexp(H{s}/T),{\cal P}(\{{\bf s}(\xi)\})={\cal N}\exp (-H\{{\bf s}\} /T), where N{\cal N} is the normalizing factor and H{s}H\{{\bf s}\} is energy of vortex line configurations. Analyzing this result we discuss possible reasons for destruction of the thermodynamic equilibrium and follow the mechanisms of transition to the turbulent state
