No-Go Theorem for BEC in the Nelson and Pauli--Fierz Models

We construct KMS states for the Nelson model, the spinless Pauli–Fierz model, and the Pauli–Fierz model with spin by functional integral representations, and study point-source models after removal of the infrared and ultraviolet cutoffs. If the physical test-function space can distinguish the zero mode, the absence of off-diagonal long-range order, the vanishing of the zero-mode form, the vanishing of the condensate density, the order-parameter criterion, and the triviality of the BEC directions and the BEC ideal are equivalent. We also describe the infrared quotient and the BEC ideal in the resolvent algebra uniformly for the three models, and formulate an operator-algebraic sufficient condition for separately given spatially translation-invariant KMS states.
