The dashed l<strong>in</strong>erepresents Ω/2 and is given to guide the eye.The presence of two poles at Ω = ω 0 and Ω = 2ω 0 <strong>in</strong> Eq. (5.21) implies thepossible existence of real resonances <strong>in</strong> the BEC with a harmonically modulated<strong>in</strong>teraction. A perturbative expansion to higher orders would <strong>in</strong>troduce some additionalpoles, responsible for higher-order “resonant” behavior observed at Ω ≈ 2ω 0 /n(n ≥ 3). Still, the poles seem to be only an artifact of our approximative perturbativescheme, not present <strong>in</strong> the exact description. For example, a simple resummationperformed us<strong>in</strong>g the second-order perturbative result removes these effects, although124
