Relativistic Bose-Einstein condensate in the rainbow gravity

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we study the effects of a modified theory of gravity —the rainbow gravity— on the relativistic Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). We initially discuss some formal aspects of the model in order to compute the corrections to the relevant quantities of the condensate. Following, we evaluate the generating functional from which we obtain some thermodynamic parameters. Then we calculate the corrected critical temperature T c that sets the relativistic Bose-Einstein condensate considering the three principal rainbow functions, finding, in addition, a phenomenological upper bound for the parameters involved in the model. Finally, we discuss how harder it is for the particles at an arbitrary temperature T < T c to enter the condensed state compared to the usual scenario, i.e., without rainbow gravity.
