[tex110] Occupation number fluctuations
Consider an ideal quantum gas specified by the grand partition function Z. Start from the expressions

hnk i − hnk i = β

ln(1 + aze−βk ),
Z
∂2k
Z

a
k=1
where a = +1, 0, −1 represent the FD, MB, and BE cases, respectively, to derive the following
result for the relative fluctuations in the occupation numbers:
1
hn2k i − hnk i2
=
− a.
2
hnk i
hnk i
Note that in the BE (FD) statistics, these fluctuations are enhanced (suppressed) relative to those
in the MB statistics.
Solution:
