Abstract
Within a quasiparticle framework, we reconsider the issue of computing the Bose-Einstein condensation temperature () in a weakly non-ideal Bose gas. The main result of this and previous investigations is that increases with the scattering length , with the leading dependence being either linear or log-linear in . The calculation of reduces to that of computing the excitation spectrum near the transition. We report two approaches to regularizing the infrared divergence at the transition point. One leads to a -like shift in , and the other allows numerical calculations for the shift.
