Level density of a Fermi gas and integer partitions: a Gumbel-like finite-size correction

Jérôme Roccia, Patricio Leboeuf

We investigate the many-body level density of gas of non-interacting fermions. We determine its behavior as a function of the temperature and the number of particles. As the temper…
