Abstract
The ground state of bosonie atoms in a trap has been shown experimentally to display Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC). We prove this fact theoretically for bosons with two-body repulsive interaction potentials in the dilute limit, starting from the basic Schrödinger equation; the condensation is 100% into the state that minimizes the Gross-Pitaevskii energy functional This is the first, rigorous proof of BEC in a physically realistic, continuum model.
