Abstract: In this paper we give a precise mathematical formulation of the relation between Bose condensation and long cycles and prove its validity for the perturbed mean field model of a Bose gas. We decompose the total density ho=homshort+homlong into the number density of particles belonging to cycles of finite length (homshort) and to infinitely long cycles (homlong) in the thermodynamic limit. For this model we prove that when there is Bose condensation, homlong is different from zero and identical to the condensate density. This is achieved through an application of the theory of large deviations. We discuss the possible equivalence of homlongeq0 with off-diagonal long range order and winding paths that occur in the path integral representation of the Bose gas.
