2. The <strong>Inhomogeneous</strong> <strong>Bogoliubov</strong> Hamiltonian<br />
According to the equations <strong>of</strong> motion (2.30), this is a coupling between<br />
phase and density fluctuations, mediated by particles in the non-uniform<br />
condensate Φ. The density coupling has a different dependence on the nonuniform<br />
condensate. Indeed, by expressing the non-uniform condensate Φ<br />
in terms <strong>of</strong> the inverse imprint ¯ Φ(r) = Φ 2 0/Φ(r), we can write the density<br />
coupling in a form analogous to (2.39)<br />

with ˜r k ′ k q = � 2 � q 2 − 2(k ′ − q)·(q − k) + � (k ′ − q) 2 + (k − q) 2� /2 � /m.<br />
Both formulae (2.39) and (2.40) are non-perturbative. That means they<br />
hold for arbitrary external potentials, if only the condensate wave function<br />
Φ and its inverse ¯ Φ are determined correctly.<br />
<strong>Inhomogeneous</strong> <strong>Bogoliubov</strong> Hamiltonian in the free <strong>Bogoliubov</strong> basis<br />
For the further analysis, it is useful to transform to <strong>Bogoliubov</strong> quasiparticles<br />
ˆγk, such that the free Hamiltonian takes its diagonal form (2.34). We use<br />
the <strong>Bogoliubov</strong> transformation (2.33) <strong>of</strong> the homogeneous problem. In this<br />
basis every mode is still characterized by its momentum k. Only the saddle<br />
point (n0)k, from where the fluctuations δˆn = ˆn−n0 are measured, is shifted<br />
by the external potential. A detailed discussion about this choice <strong>of</strong> basis<br />
is found in section 3.2.<br />
Thus, the couplings are transformed in the following way<br />

This Hamiltonian for the inhomogeneous <strong>Bogoliubov</strong> problem is the central<br />
achievement <strong>of</strong> the whole chapter. The equation <strong>of</strong> motion for the bosonic<br />
