Abstract
We study equilibrium states of a quantum Bose gas using Kubo-Martin-Schwinger boundary conditions, for a special class of time evolutions, namely the quasi-free evolutions. Under suitable restrictions, in particular positivity of the elementary excitation spectrum, we are able to describe the states fulfilling the Kubo-Martin-Schwinger conditions. In contrast to the Fermi case the solution is, in general, not unique; this is related to a possible Bose condensation.
