Abstract
We consider the Dirichlet eigenvalues of the Laplacian among a Poissonian cloud of hard spherical obstacles of fixed radius in large boxes of Rd, d≥2. In a large box of side-length 2ℓ centered at the origin, the lowest eigenvalue is known to be typically of order (logℓ)−2/d. We show here that with probability arbitrarily close to 1 as ℓ goes to infinity, the spectral gap stays bigger than σ(logℓ)−(1+2/d), where the small positive number σ depends on how close to 1 one wishes the probability. Incidentally, the scale (logℓ)−(1+2/d) is expected to capture the correct size of the gap. Our result involves the proof of new deconcentration estimates. Combining this lower bound on the spectral gap with the results of Kerner–Pechmann–Spitzer, we infer a type-I generalized Bose–Einstein condensation in probability for a Kac–Luttinger system of non-interacting bosons among Poissonian spherical impurities, with the sole macroscopic occupation of the one-particle ground state when the density exceeds the critical value.
