Abstract

In a dilute system of N fermions with spin 1/2 in three dimensions, we study the correlation energy which is given by the difference between the ground state energy and the energy of the non-interacting Fermi sea state. We review some recent results from the paper by Falconi et al. [Ann. Henri Poincaré 22 (2021), 2283-2353], where we make use of the almost-bosonic nature of the low-energy excitations of the system which can be effectively described by Bogoliubov theory.

The Dilute Fermi Gas via Bogoliubov Theory

Marco Falconi, Emanuela L. Giacomelli, Christian Hainzl +1 more

We study the ground state properties of interacting Fermi gases in the dilute regime, in three dimensions. We compute the ground state energy of the system, for positive interaction potentials. We recover a well-known expression for the ground state energy at second order in the particle density, which depends on the interaction potential only via its scattering length. The first proof of this result has been given by Lieb, Seiringer and Solovej (Phys Rev A 71:053605, 2005). In this paper, we give a new derivation of this formula, using a different method; it is inspired by Bogoliubov theory, and it makes use of the almost-bosonic nature of the low-energy excitations of the systems. With respect to previous work, our result applies to a more regular class of interaction potentials, but it comes with improved error estimates on the ground state energy asymptotics in the density.

Ground-State Energy of a Dilute Fermi Gas

Élliott H. Lieb, Robert Seiringer, Jan Philip Solovej

Recent developments in the physics of low density trapped gases make it worthwhile to verify old, well known results that, while plausible, were based on perturbation theory and assumptions about pseudopotentials. We use and extend recently developed techniques to give a rigorous derivation of the asymptotic formula for the ground state energy of a dilute gas of $N$ fermions interacting with a short-range, positive potential of scattering length $a$. For spin 1/2 fermions, this is $E \sim E^0 + (\hbar^2/2m) 2 πN ρa$, where $E^0$ is the energy of the non-interacting system and $ρ$ is the density.

Ground-state energy of the low-density Fermi gas

Élliott H. Lieb, Robert Seiringer, Jan Philip Solovej

Recent developments in the physics of low-density trapped gases make it worthwhile to verify old, well-known results that, while plausible, were based on perturbation theory and assumptions about pseudopotentials. We use and extend recently developed techniques to give a rigorous derivation of the asymptotic formula for the ground-state energy of a dilute gas of $N$ fermions interacting with a short-range, positive potential of scattering length $a$. For spin-$1∕2$ fermions, this is $E\ensuremath{\sim}{E}^{0}+({\ensuremath{\hbar}}^{2}∕2m)2\ensuremath{\pi}N\ensuremath{\varrho}a$, where ${E}^{0}$ is the energy of the noninteracting system and $\ensuremath{\varrho}$ is the density. A similar formula holds in two dimensions (2D), with $\ensuremath{\varrho}a$ replaced by $\ensuremath{\varrho}∕\ensuremath{\mid}\mathrm{ln}(\ensuremath{\varrho}{a}^{2})\ensuremath{\mid}$. Obviously this 2D energy is not the expectation value of a density-independent pseudopotential.

Correlation energy of a weakly interacting Fermi gas

Niels Benedikter, Phan Thành Nam, Marcello Porta +2 more

Abstract We derive rigorously the leading order of the correlation energy of a Fermi gas in a scaling regime of high density and weak interaction. The result verifies the prediction of the random-phase approximation. Our proof refines the method of collective bosonization in three dimensions. We approximately diagonalize an effective Hamiltonian describing approximately bosonic collective excitations around the Hartree–Fock state, while showing that gapless and non-collective excitations have only a negligible effect on the ground state energy.

Ground state energy of a dilute two-dimensional Bose gas from the Bogoliubov free energy functional

We extend the analysis of the Bogoliubov free energy functional to two dimensions at very low temperatures. For sufficiently weak interactions, we prove two term asymptotics for the ground state energy.

Mesoscopic Observables of the Dilute Fermi Gas at Low Energy

Niels Benedikter, Emanuela L. Giacomelli, Asbjørn Bækgaard Lauritsen +1 more

We consider a dilute quantum gas of interacting spin-1/2 fermions in the thermodynamic limit. For a trial state that resolves the ground state energy to the precision of the Huang--Yang formula, we compute the expectation values of one-body observables on a mesoscopic scale.
