Abstract
The generalized dielectric constant is calculated to the order next to the Bogoliubov approximation. This is done by using the analogy between the condensed boson system and a fictitious fermion system with spin degeneracy equal to the total number of particles (instead of two). From the zero of the dielectric constant, we have calculated the first-order correction to the Bogoliubov plasmon energy and the half linewidth of the plasmon states. The real part of the solution is examined from a graphical view point to show that up to the specified order of approximation there exists only one mode of elementary excitation. The screening of the system to a static impurity charge is shown to be exponential at a long distance. The response of the system to a static transverse vector potential shows a perfect Meissner effect at long- and short-wavelength limits. We have also examined the diagrammatic structure for the number of particles in condensate. We show that the series contains only terms of integer powers of . The entire treatment is fully number conserving.
