Phase Transitions in Optical Lattices at Finite Temperatures

We discuss the finite-temperature phase diagram in three-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model relevant for the Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices, by employing U(1) quantum rotor approach and the topologically constrained path integral, that includes a summation over U(1) topological charge. The effective action formalism allows us to formulate a problem in the phase only action and obtain analytical formulae for the critical lines beyond mean-field theory.
