Abstract
An ideal relativistic Bose-gas model with pair production is solved exactly in dimensions. The critical behavior is shown to be the same as the usual nonrelativistic Bose gas. Scaling functions (including nonuniversal parameters) for the equation of state and the correlation functions are obtained in a closed form. The scale-factor universality is verified by the formation of the expected universal ratios. Various limiting cases of the model depending on the relative magnitudes of the three basic length scales, i.e., Compton wave-length, thermal wavelength, and interparticle distance are discussed. In these limiting cases, previously known results are recovered, wherever these are available.
