Large deviations for the ground state of weakly interacting Bose gases

Abstract

We consider the ground state of a Bose gas of N particles on the three-dimensional unit torus in the mean-field regime that is known to exhibit Bose-Einstein condensation. Bounded one-particle operators with law given through the interacting Bose gas' ground state correspond to dependent random variables due to the bosons' correlation. We prove that in the limit N → ∞ bounded one-particle operators with law given by the ground state satisfy large deviation estimates. We derive a lower and an upper bound on the rate function that match up to second order and that are characterized by quantum fluctuations around the condensate.
