Abstract
To establish their theory of the structure factor for liquid helium, Mihara and Puff argue the validity of the relation which expresses the moment in terms of the Bijl-Feynman excitation spectrum , the free boson excitation spectrum , and the kinetic energy per particle of the liquid in its groundstate, . In this paper we show that ~ means "is equal to for wave numbers greater than about " for the case of liquid helium and that it means "is exactly equal to" for the case of a low-density Bose fluid. The latter result has the interesting effect of providing a means of deriving the Bogoliubov theory of a weakly coupled Bose system without the well-known canonical transformation of the Hamiltonian.
