Using the 1/N-expansion, we derive expressions for the free energy density and the number density to next-to-leading order in 1/N. Outside the critical region and at weak coupling, our calculations reduce to the well-known mean-field results for the dilute Bose gas. We also rederive the nonperturbative critical density for Bose condensation which was first calculated by Baym, Blaizot, Holzmann, Lalöe, and Vautherin.6 pages, 3 figsOther Condensed MatterHigh Energy Physics - Phenomenology1/N-Expansion and the Dilute Bose Gas Beyond Mean-field Theorytext
