R. Benguria, E. H. Lieb

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

We prove the positivity of the pressure and compressibility for neutral systems in the Thomas-Fermi theory of molecules. Our results include some new properties of the Thomas-Fermi potential and a proof that the kinetic energy is superadditive.
