Renormalized momentum of a condensate

ID: renormalized-momentum-of-a-condensate

For a condensate with uniform bulk complex field one, its convergent localized momentum is
The subtraction removes the uniform-background phase-gradient contribution. If and , its integrand is , integrable in two dimensions. Under decaying variations its functional derivative is ; the subtraction is a boundary correction and does not change the bulk equation.
