| Sumario: | In this work, we provide exact solutions for the ideal boson lattice gas on the infinitely ramified star and wheel graphs. Within a tight-binding description, we show that Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) takes place at a finite temperature after a proper rescaling of the hoping integral ? connecting a central site to the peripheral ones. Analytical expressions for the transition temperature, the condensed gas fraction, and the specific heat are given for the star graph as a function of the density of particles ??. In particular, the specific heat has a mean-field character, being null in the high-temperature noncondensed phase with a discontinuity at ????. In the wheel graph, on which the peripheral sites form a closed chain with hopping integral ??, BEC takes place only above a critical value of the ratio ?/?? for which a gap ????? appears between the ground state and a one-dimensional band. A detailed analysis of the BEC characteristics as a function of ?? and ????? is provided. The specific heat in the high-temperature phase of the wheel graph remains finite due to correlations among the peripheral sites. |
