Topology Induced Spatial Bose-Einstein Condensation for Bosons on   Star-Shaped Optical Networks
  New coherent states may be induced by pertinently engineering the topology of a network. As an example, we consider the properties of non-interacting bosons on a star network, which may be realized with a dilute atomic gas in a star-shaped deep optical lattice. The ground state is localized around the star center and it is macroscopically occupied below the Bose-Einstein condensation temperature T_c. We show that T_c depends only on the number of the star arms and on the Josephson energy of the bosonic Josephson junctions and that the non-condensate fraction is simply given by the reduced temperature T/T_c.
