A diffusion Monte Carlo simulation of superfluid $^4$He at zero temperature and pressures up to 275 bar is presented. Increasing the pressure beyond freezing ($\sim$ 25 bar), the liquid enters the overpressurized phase in a metastable…
The concept of a roton, a special kind of elementary excitation, forming a minimum of energy at finite momentum, has been essential to understand the properties of superfluid $^4$He. In quantum liquids, rotons arise from the strong…
We report dynamical calculations for large-$q$ structure functions of liquid $^4$He at $T$=1.6 and 2.3 K and compare those with recent MARI data. We extend those calculations far beyond the experimental range $q\le 29\Ain$ in order to study…

It is shown, that a non-local form of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation allows to describe not only the long-wave excitations, but also the short-wave ones in the systems with Bose-condensate. At given parameter values, the excitation spectrum…
This paper presents an analysis of a model problem, consisting of two interacting rigid rings, for the rotation of molecules in liquid $^4$He. Due to Bose symmetry, the excitation of the rotor corresponding to a ring of N helium atoms is…
Energy of elementary excitations and the anomalous nature of small Q phonons in He-II are studied by using our macro-orbital microscopic theory of a system of interacting bosons (cond-mat/0606571). It is observed that : (i) the experimental…
He-4 is known to become superfluid at very low temperatures. This effect is now generally accepted to be connected with BEC (Bose-Einstein Condensation). The dispersion relation of pressure waves in superfluid He-4 has been determined at…
We study elementary excitations in superfluid helium-4 employing an approach based on the spontaneous symmetry breaking. In particular, we calculate the roton energy gap at zero temperature $\Delta (0)$. The relation that we have derived is…
