Bogoliubov theory in the Gross-Pitaevskii limit: a simplified approach

Abstract

Abstract We show that Bogoliubov theory correctly predicts the low-energy spectral properties of Bose gases in the Gross-Pitaevskii regime. We recover recent results from [6, 7]. While our main strategy is similar to the one developed in [6, 7], we combine it with new ideas, taken in part from [15, 25]; this makes our proof substantially simpler and shorter. As an important step towards the proof of Bogoliubov theory, we show that low-energy states exhibit complete Bose-Einstein condensation with optimal control over the number of orthogonal excitations.
