In a unit-spacing periodic spinless chain, self-paired momenta are and, when available, . An anomalous pair of the same creation operator vanishes by the canonical anticommutation relations. Such a mode is a single normal number level, filled or empty according to its energy sign, rather than a two-distinct-mode Bogoliubov transformation. This excludes the paired-angle construction at those special momenta.

For a real squeezing parameter , the single-mode squeeze operator is
Its exponent is skew-adjoint, so is a unitary operator, and it implements the Bogoliubov transformation
Vacuum ambiguity in a nonstationary spacetime Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-07
Without a preferred timelike Killing flow there is no canonical positive-frequency splitting. Different choices are related by a Bogoliubov transformation and generally define different particle notions and vacuum states.
A dilute condensed Bose system whose interaction is sufficiently weak for a small-depletion expansion. Its low-energy excitations are described by a Bogoliubov transformation rather than free particles. The homogeneous quadratic theory is controlled only while noncondensate occupation remains small compared with the condensate and its excitation energies are stable.
