Abstract: We consider a system of N interacting bosons in the mean-field scaling regime and construct corrections to the Bogoliubov dynamics that approximate the true N-body dynamics in norm to arbitrary precision. The N-independent corrections are given in terms of the solutions of the Bogoliubov and Hartree equations and satisfy a generalized form of Wick's theorem. We determine the n-point correlation functions of the excitations around the condensate, as well as the reduced densities of the N-body system, to arbitrary accuracy, given only the knowledge of the two-point functions of a quasi-free state and the solution of the Hartree equation. In this way, the complex problem of computing all n-point correlation functions for an interacting N-body system is essentially reduced to the problem of solving the Hartree equation and the PDEs for the Bogoliubov two-point functions.


The starting point of the investigations of the authors is the model describing bosons in the mean-field or Hartree regime. This is characterized by weak, long-range interactions. The authors construct a norm approximation such that all corrections to correlation functions and expectation values of bounded operators are given in terms of the two-point correlation functions of a quasifree state. The advantage of their construction that it reduces the complexity of the \(N\)-body problem and makes it possible to numerical calculate these quantities to arbitrary precision. Hence the computation of the higher-order corrections reduces to solve first the well-studied Hartree equation and second the Bogoliubov equation. The second is equivalent to solving a \(2 \times 2\) matrix differential equation. Moreover, the \(N\)-independent corrections fulfill a generalized form of Wick's theorem.
