Abstract

Non-relativistic bosons interacting with Coulomb forces are unstable, as Dyson showed 20 years ago, in the sense that the ground state energy satisfies E0 - AN7/5. We prove that 7/5 is the correct power by proving that E0 - BN7/5. For the non-relativistic bosonic, one-component jellium problem, Foldy and Girardcau showed that E0 - CNρ1/4. This 1/4 law is also validated here by showing that E0 - DNρ1/4. These bounds prove that the Bogoliubov type paired wave function correctly predicts the order of magnitude of the energy.
