title: Condensate statistics in one-dimensional interacting Bose gases: exact results.
abstract: Recently, a quantum Monte Carlo method alternative to the path integral Monte Carlo method was developed for solving the N-boson problem; it is based on the stochastic evolution of classical fields. Here we apply it to obtain exact results for the occupation statistics of the condensate mode in a weakly interacting trapped one-dimensional Bose gas. The temperature is varied across the critical region down to temperatures lower than the trap level spacing. We also derive the condensate statistics in the Bogoliubov theory: this reproduces the exact results at low temperature and explains the suppression of odd numbers of noncondensed particles at T approximately 0.
