Description
The conventional one-mode BEC in the ideal boson gas is the key example for this series of
lectures. The physical motivation (Einstein, 1925) and the later theoretical and mathematical
controversy (G.E.Uhlenbeck, 1927, F.London, 1938) will be presented in details as well as
remark on equivalence of ensembles and M.Kac distribution (1973).
This is the introductory seminar for the lecture series "Lectures on Boson Systems: Condensation and Dynamics" by Prof. Valentin Zagrebnov. Prof. Zagrebnov is a world expert on Bose-Einstein condensation.
