Bose-Einstein condensation in the presence of a synthetic spin-orbit interaction is considered, focusing on the case where a Dirac or Rashba potential is generated via a tripod scheme. We found that the ground states can be either plane-wave states or superpositions of them, each characterized by their unique density distributions.
