Abstract: We theoretically investigate sound modes in a weakly-interacting collisional Bose gas in D dimensions. Using the Landau?s two-fluid hydrodynamics and working within the Bogoliubov theory, we observe the hybridization of the first and second sound modes for D >=2. To model the recent measurements of the sound velocities in 2D, obtained in the weakly-interacting regime and around the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition temperature, we derive a refined calculation of the superfluid density, finding a fair agreement with the experiment. In the 1D case, for which experimental results are currently unavailable, we find no hybridization, triggering the necessity of future investigations. Our analysis provides a systematic understanding of sound propagation in a collisional weakly-interacting Bose gas in D dimensions.
