Finite temperature superfluid transition of strongly-correlated lattice bosons in various geometries

Abstract: We study finite-temperature properties of the strongly interacting bosons in three-dimensional lattices by employing the combined Bogoliubov method and the quantum rotor approach. Based on the mapping of the Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian of strongly interacting bosons onto U(1) phase action, we study their thermodynamic phase diagrams for several lattice geometries including; simple cubic, body- as well as face-centered lattices. The quantitative values for the phase boundaries obtained here may be used as a reference for emulation of the Bose-Hubbard model on a variety of optical lattice structures in order to demonstrate experimental-theoretical consistency for the numerical values regarding the location of the critical points.
