A Cox Process Involved in the Bose–Einstein Condensation

The point process corresponding to the configurations of bosons in standard conditions is a Cox process driven by the square norm of a centered Gaussian process. This point process is infinitely divisible. We point out the fact that this property is preserved by the Bose–Einstein condensation phenomenon and show that the obtained point process after such a condensation occured, is still a Cox process but driven by the square norm of a shifted Gaussian process, the shift depending on the density of the particles. This law provides an illustration of a “super”- Isomorphism Theorem existing above the usual Isomorphism Theorem of Dynkin available for Gaussian processes. Submitted: February 8, 2008.
