We present arguments claiming that negative minima in the Fourier transform of a soft pair interaction may give rise to the coexistence of diagonal and off-diagonal long-range order at high densities, and that this coexistence may be detectable due to a periodicity seen on the off-diagonal part of the one-body reduced density matrix, without breaking translation invariance. As an illustration, we study the ground state of a homogenous system of bosons in continuous space, from the interaction retaining only the Fourier modes $v(\\k)$ belonging to a single nonzero wave number $|\\k|=q$. The result is a mean-field model. We prove that for $v(\\k)>0$ the ground state is asymptotically fully Bose-condensed, while for $v(\\k)<0$ at densities exceeding a multiple of $\\hbar^2 q^2/2m|v(\\k)|$ it exhibits both Bose-Einstein condensation and diagonal long-range order, and the latter can be seen on both the one- and the two-body density matrix.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-04-17T08:23:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "off-diagonal long-range order", "soft interactions", "concurring diagonal", "single nonzero wave number", "ground state" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AIP", "journal": "J.
