A homogeneous gas of atoms with hyperfine spin F=1 is considered below the critical temperature of the Bose-Einstein condensation. The general structure of the correlation functions (both for density and spin fluctuations) and their connection to the thermal Green’s functions are worked out. The damping of the modes is calculated in the random-phase approximation.
