Abstract
Standard statistical thermodynamic views of temperature fluctuations predict a magnitude for a system with heat capacity The extent to which low temperatures can be well defined is discussed for those systems that obey the thermodynamic third law in the form Physical limits on the notion of very low temperatures are exhibited for simple systems. Application of these concepts to bound Bose condensed systems are explored, and the notion of bound boson superfluidity is discussed in terms of the thermodynamic moment of inertia.
