AbstractWe compute the shift of the critical temperature Tc with respect to the ideal case for a weakly interacting uniform Bose gas. We work in the framework of the canonical ensemble, extending the criterion of condensation provided by the canonical particle counting statistics for the zero-momentum state of the uniform ideal gas. The perturbative solution of the crossover equation to lowest order in powers of the scattering length yields (Tc-T0)/T0 = -0.93an1/3, where T0 is the transition temperature of the corresponding ideal Bose gas, a is the scattering length, and n is the particle number density. This result is at variance with the standard grand canonical prediction of a null shift of the critical temperature in the lowest perturbative order. The non-equivalence of statistical ensembles for the ideal Bose gas is thus confirmed (at the lowest perturbative level) also in the presence of interactions. file generated: 28 Nov 2016
