  "abstract": "We discuss the phenomenon of Bose-Einstein condensation under general external conditions using connections between partition sums and the heat-equation. Thermodynamical quantities like the critical temperature are given in terms of the heat-kernel coefficients of the associated Schr\\\"odinger equation. The general approach is applied to situations where the gas is confined by arbitrary potentials or by boxes of arbitrary shape.",
