Failure of extended mean-field theories in one-dimensional Bose gasesTim Sauer and •Carsten Henkel — University of Potsdam, Germany

Due to large thermal fluctuations, low-dimensional Bose gases do not develop a proper condensate, and even the onset of quasi-condensation turns into a cross-over rather than a phase transition. This is actually a challenge to reproduce within a mean-field theory because the modeling of the system seems to require a larger number of relevant hydrodynamic fields. In other words, the statistics of the quantum field is far from Gaussian in the cross-over region. We outline a zoology of mean-field theories [1,2] and develop efficient analytical formulas using a high-temperature expansion. The problems of the theories are illustrated by studying the equation of state and density fluctuations.
