We consider infinite volume limit Gibbs states of a nonrelativistic quantum Bose gas consisting of one species of spinless particles with positive interaction potentials. The finite volume reduced density matrices are dominated by the corresponding matrices for the noninteracting gas, and as a consequence all infinite volume limit states are regular, locally normal, and analytic on the appropriate CCR algebra. For sufficiently short range repulsive two-body interactions, the cyclic vector associated with the limit state is separating for the σ-weak closure of the algebra in the associated representation.
