The calculation of the He4 energy and specific heat is carried out in a wide temperature range within the two-time temperature Green functions approach. The approximation improving the random phase approximation is developed providing the correct behaviour of the calculated specific heat at the temperatures $0 < T/T_c < 0.65$ and $T/T_c> 1.32$ where $T_c$ stands for the phase transition point.
A self-consistent approach is applied for the calculations within the two-time temperature Green functions formalism in the random phase approximation. The effective mass of He4 atom is computed as $m^*=1.58 m$. The excitation spectrum is found to be in a satisfactory agreement with the experiment. The sound velocity is calculated as 230 m/s. The temperature of the Bose-condensation with the effective mass taken into consideration is estimated as 1.99 K.
We adduce the results of the condensate fraction calculation for liquid helium-4. The method is derived from the first principles and involves minimum assumptions. The only experimental quantity we need in our calculations is the static structure factor which is easily measurable. We use the approximation in which expressions contain one summation in the wave vector space (or one integration it the radius vector space) in order to demonstrate the validity of our method. The computed values of the condensate fraction lie within $8.8 ÷14%$ depending on the model potential for the short-range interaction. This result agrees with recent experimental measurements and numerical estimations.
A theoretical description of the interacting Bose-system is proposed. It is based on the extrapolation of the results obtained for the systems with a small number of particles N=2, 3, 4, etc. to the bulk case of N=\infty. It is shown that already the system with N=12, 13 behaves almost as a bulk in a wide temperature range. Special attention is paid to the phase transition in these systems. The hard sphere potential is used in calculations. The sequence of heat capacity maxima is approximated as C^{max}_N/N\simeq13.6-aN^{-ε} with ε=0.0608 giving the value of bulk heat capacity as 13.6 while experimental value is close to 16. The temperature of λ-transition is estimated as 2.1-2.3 K versus experimental 2.17 K. Quite good qualitative and satisfactory quantitative agreement with the experimental data has been achieved.
In this paper we propose five different modifications of the hard sphere potential for the modeling a short-range repulsion and the calculation of thermodynamic and transport properties of liquid He4. We calculate the potential energy, the total energy, and the sound velocity at T=0 K. It is shown that three of the proposed potentials give a satisfactory description of these properties.
