| contents | In this work we consider the calculation of the imaginary part of
the dispersion relations of the propagating modes
in a model of a charged scalar Bose-Einstein (BE) condensate, as well
as the contribution to the imaginary part of the longitudinal component
of the photon polarization tensor and the dielectric constant.
In that model, two modes correspond to the transverse photon polarizations,
while the other two modes are combinations of the longitudinal photon and
the massive scalar field, which we denote as the $(\pm)$ modes.
The dispersion relations of the transverse modes have the usual form for
transverse photons in a plasma, and we do not consider here any further.
In a previous work we determined the real part of the dispersion relations
of the $(\pm)$ modes, as well as the real part of the longitudinal
component of of polarization tensor and dielectric constant,
which have some unique features. In the appropriate limit, those results
reproduce the results obtained for the dielectric constant
and dispersion relation in non-relativistic models of
the BE condensation of charged scalars. Here we determine, in the same model,
their imaginary part. The results can be useful in physical contexts
involving the electrodynamics of a charged scalar BE condensate, and can
serve as benchmark results for further exploration. |
