On the Energy-Momentum Spectrum of a Homogeneous Fermi Gas
Jan Dereziński, Krzysztof A. Meissner, Marcin Napiórkowski
Abstract
We consider translation-invariant quantum systems in thermodynamic limit. We argue that their energy-momentum spectra should have shapes consistent with effective models involving quasiparticles. Our main example is second quantized homogeneous interacting Fermi gas in a large cubic box with periodic boundary conditions, at zero temperature. We expect that its energy-momentum spectrum has a positive energy gap and a positive critical velocity.
