Weak Bose-Einstein condensation in a rigidly rotating magnetized charged Bose gas

Abstract

We investigate the weak Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) scenario of a noninteracting charged Bose gas simultaneously subjected to a strong magnetic field and rigid rotation. Using standard methods of finite-temperature quantum field theory and the generalized Fock-Schwinger formalism, we derive the corresponding thermodynamic potential in the nonrelativistic and lowest Landau level approximations. An appropriate modification of the effective chemical potential yields a consistent thermodynamic description and naturally introduces a magnetorotational fugacity. Within the high-temperature approximation, rigid rotation enters the thermodynamics solely through the Tolman-Ehrenfest local temperature. We demonstrate that rigid rotation does not qualitatively modify the weak BEC scenario induced by Landau quantization. The magnetorotational fugacity remains below unity throughout the phenomenologically relevant temperature range, while the continuous evolution of the ground state population and the absence of a singularity in the specific heat provide complementary signatures of the persistence of weak BEC. We further study the thermodynamic properties of the system under conditions relevant to quark-gluon plasma and neutron-star matter. We show that rotational effects are much more pronounced in the former. Our analysis reveals a new magnetic response to rigid rotation: while magnetic fields enhance diamagnetism, rotation drives it toward paramagnetism. This behavior reflects a competition between magnetic quantization and rotational orbital motion, emphasizing the role of rotation in shaping the magnetic response of bosonic matter.
