Abstract
We examine the occurrence of Bose-Einstein condensation in both nonrelativistic and relativistic systems with no self-interactions in a general setting. A simple condition for the occurrence of Bose-Einstein condensation is given. We show that condensation can occur only if , where is the dimension associated with the continuous part of the eigenvalue spectrum of the Hamiltonian for nonrelativistic systems or the spatial part of the Klein-Gordon operator for relativistic systems. Furthermore we show that the criterion for the appearance of the Meissner-Ochsenfeld effect is closely connected with that for the appearance of Bose-Einstein condensation.
