SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the correct formulation of the Bogoliubov superfluidity Hamiltonian, represented as \(\hat{H}=\sum_{\vec{p}}\frac{p^2}{2m}\hat{b}^+_{\vec{p}}\hat{b}_{\vec{p}}+\frac{1}{2V}\sum_{\vec{p}_1,\vec{p}_2,\vec{p}_3}W(\vec{p}_1-\vec{p}_3)\hat{b}^+_{\vec{p}_1}\hat{b}^+_{\vec{p}_2}\hat{b}_{\vec{p}_3}\hat{b}_{\vec{p}_1+\vec{p}_2-\vec{p}_3}\) versus \(\hat{H}=\sum_{\vec{p}}\frac{p^2}{2m}\hat{b}^+_{\vec{p}}\hat{b}_{\vec{p}}+\frac{1}{2N}\sum_{\vec{p}_1,\vec{p}_2,\vec{p}_3}W(\vec{p}_1-\vec{p}_3)\hat{b}^+_{\vec{p}_1}\hat{b}^+_{\vec{p}_2}\hat{b}_{\vec{p}_3}\hat{b}_{\vec{p}_1+\vec{p}_2-\vec{p}_3}\). Both formulations are valid; the second assumes a unit cell volume of one, making \(N\) equivalent to the total volume \(V\).

[tex]\hat{H}=\sum_{\vec{p}}\frac{p^2}{2m}\hat{b}^+_{\vec{p}}\hat{b}_{\vec{p}}+\frac{1}{2V}\sum_{\vec{p}_1,\vec{p}_2,\vec{p}_3}W(\vec{p}_1-\vec{p}_3)\hat{b}^+_{\vec{p}_1}\hat{b}^+_{\vec{p}_2}\hat{b}_{\vec{p}_3}\hat{b}_{\vec{p}_1+\vec{p}_2-\vec{p}_3}[/tex]

Is this correct form or maybe?

[tex]\hat{H}=\sum_{\vec{p}}\frac{p^2}{2m}\hat{b}^+_{\vec{p}}\hat{b}_{\vec{p}}+\frac{1}{2N}\sum_{\vec{p}_1,\vec{p}_2,\vec{p}_3}W(\vec{p}_1-\vec{p}_3)\hat{b}^+_{\vec{p}_1}\hat{b}^+_{\vec{p}_2}\hat{b}_{\vec{p}_3}\hat{b}_{\vec{p}_1+\vec{p}_2-\vec{p}_3}[/tex]

One form is in book and one in scripts! This is first relation so I'm not quite sure! Thanks for you're answer!

Actually both forms are correct. In the second, the author assumes the unit cell volumn is one, so N indicates the total volumn V.
