Ground state (September 24 companion): absolute ε0,c0>0 with condensate fraction at least c0 in every ground state when ρa3<ε0. A further companion gives a density-uniform bound for bounded nonnegative finite-range potentials at temperatures up to ρ2. Not shown: the transition temperature, condensation at moderate density, two dimensions, or potentials with attractive parts.
