On the theory of superfluidity

Abstract: We investigate the properties of dispersion spectra of one-dimensional periodic Bose systems with repulsive interparticle interactions. These systems with sufficient large interactions can support metastable supercurrent states, which correspond to the local minima of the dispersion spectra at non-zero momenta. The existence of local minima in the spectra and the energy barriers, which separate the minima, can be explained in terms of Bose exchange symmetry. We extend our study to the case of higher dimensional Bose systems. We suggest that superfluidity could be understood as a Bose exchange effect.


This paper is concerned with the study of dispersion spectra properties of Bose systems with repulsive interactions. The main result of the present paper establishes that the possible existence of local minima of the spectra and the energy barriers separating these minima are due to the Bose exchange symmetry. The proof follows the following steps: (i) a preliminary study of a kinetic property of a class of one-dimensional Bose systems with translational symmetry; (ii) the perturbation analysis of dispersion spectrum of a Bose system in the weak interaction regime; (iii) comparison of the dispersion spectrum of a spinless Bose system with the dispersion spectrum of a Bose system in which the particles have some internal degrees of freedom.
