Stability for a System of N Fermions Plus a Different Particle with Zero-Range Interactions

Abstract

We study the stability problem for a non-relativistic quantum system in dimension three composed by $N\ge 2$ identical fermions, with unit mass, interacting with a different particle, with mass $m$, via a zero-range interaction of strength $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$. We construct the corresponding renormalised quadratic (or energy) form $ \form $ and the so-called Skornyakov-Ter-Martirosyan symmetric extension $H_{\alpha }$, which is the natural candidate as Hamiltonian of the system. We find a value of the mass $m^{\ast }(N)$ such that for $m>m^{\ast }(N)$ the form $ \form $ is closed and bounded from below. As a consequence, $ \form $ defines a unique self-adjoint and bounded from below extension of $H_{\alpha }$ and therefore the system is stable. On the other hand, we also show that the form $ \form $ is unbounded from below for $m<m^{\ast }(2)$. In analogy with the well-known bosonic case, this suggests that the system is unstable for $m<m^{\ast }(2)$ and the so-called Thomas effect occurs.
