Abstract
In this article we discuss aspects of fluctuations and correlations that ar ise in the theory of trapped condensates at finite temperature. This requir es us to look at both thermal and quantum fluctuations in the held that des cribes the condensates. We discuss ways in which these effects can be obser ved in experiments.
