Abstract

We consider probabilistic models for interacting bosons at a positive temperature in the thermodynamic limit with random particle density. The Loop Soup representation is a marked point process arising from the Feynman-Kac formula for the grand canonical partition function for a Bose gas, and the Cycle Count representation is in turn found by projecting onto the space of mark-type densities. Interacting versions of the Loop Soup and Cycle Count models are found by applying Varadhan-like arguments. Large deviation principles are found for a variety of interactions, which provide representation formulae for the thermodynamic limit of the pressure and a means to study Bose-Einstein condensation in these models.
