Statistical properties of cold bosons in a ring trap

A study of an interacting system of bosons in a ring trap at a finite temperature is presented. We consider a gas with contact and long-range dipolar interactions within a framework of the classical fields approximation. For a repulsive gas we have obtained coherence length, population of the ground state and its fluctuations as a function of temperature. In the case of an attractive gas we study local density fluctuations. Additionally, we exactly calculate the partition function for the ideal gas in the canonical ensemble and derive several other macroscopic state functions.
