For a non-condensed (T>Tc) dilute monatomic gas of bosons, five slowly varying hydrodynamic variables govern the relaxation to equilibrium. These five variables correspond to quantities conserved during elastic collisions between the particles; the particle number, momentum (three components), and kinetic energy of the particles. Above Tc, relaxation is governed by three transport coefficients; shear viscosity, thermal conductivity, and bulk viscosity (which is zero for the dilute gas). Below the critical temperature Tc for Bose-Einstein condensation, the boson gas has six hydrodynamic modes, but the microscopic collision processes occur between Bogoliubov excitations (bogolons) and only four quantities are conserved; bogolon momentum and energy. The additional modes are due to the broken gauge symmetry and the presence of the condensate. Below Tc, relaxation to equilibrium is governed by six transport coefficients; shear viscosity, thermal conductivity, and four bulk viscosities (which appear to be negligible for a dilute BEC).
