摘要
We demonstrate that a topology-induced Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) takes place in a complex network. As a model topology, we consider the deterministic Apollonian network which exhibits scale-free, small-world, and hierarchical properties. Within a tight-binding approach for noninteracting bosons, we report that the BEC transition temperature and the gap between the ground and first excited states follow the same finite-size scaling law. An anomalous density dependence of the transition temperature is reported and linked to the structure of gaps and degeneracies of the energy spectrum. The specific heat is shown to be discontinuous at the transition, with low-temperature modulations as a consequence of the fragmented density of states.
