title: Probing anomalous longitudinal fluctuations of the interacting Bose gas via Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons.
abstract: The emergence of a finite staggered magnetization in quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnets subject to a uniform magnetic field can be viewed as Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons. Using nonperturbative results for the infrared behavior of the interacting Bose gas, we present exact results for the staggered spin-spin correlation functions of quantum antiferromagnets in a magnetic field at zero temperature. In particular, we show that in dimensions 1<D</=3 the longitudinal dynamic structure factor S_{ parallel}(q,omega) describing staggered spin fluctuations in the direction of the staggered magnetization exhibits a critical continuum whose weight can be controlled experimentally by varying the magnetic field.
