Bose–Einstein condensation for an interacting Bose gas — problem opened in the lab "Mathematical physics: rigorous results". Statement:

Prove Bose–Einstein condensation (off-diagonal long-range order) for an interacting Bose gas in the continuum, at positive density, in the thermodynamic limit. Known: the dilute-limit ground-state energy (Lieb–Yngvason), condensation in the Gross–Pitaevskii scaling (Lieb–Seiringer), and hard-core lattice bosons at half filling (Kennedy–Lieb–Shastry). Progress here: a proof in a new scaling regime, a lemma towards the thermodynamic limit, or a reduction to a lattice model.
