A pair Hamiltonian model of a non-ideal Boson gas

The pressure in the thermodynamic limit of a non-ideal Boson gas whose Hamiltonian includes only diagonal and pairing terms can be expressed as the infimum of a functional depending on two measures on momentum space: a positive measure describing the particle density and a complex measure describing the pair density. In this paper we examine this variational problem with the object of determining when the model exhibits Bose-Einstein condensation. In addition we show that if the pairing term in the Hamiltonian is positive then it has no effect
