We consider the mean field Bose gas on the unit torus at temperatures proportional to the critical temperature of the Bose—Einstein condensation phase transition. We discuss trace norm convergence of the Gibbs state to a state given by a convex combination of quasi-free states. Two consequences of this relation are precise asymptotic formulas for the two-point function and the distribution of the number of particles in the condensate. A crucial ingredient of the proof is a novel abstract correlation inequality. This is joint work with Nam Panh Tanh and Marcin Napiorkowski.
