The Bose gas: A subtle many-body problem
Elliott H. Lieb
Now that the properties of the ground state of quantum-mechanical many-body systems (bosons) at low density, , can be examined experimentally it is appropriate to revisit some o…
Ground States in Non-relativistic Quantum Electrodynamics
Marcel Griesemer, Elliott H. Lieb, Michael Loss
The excited states of a charged particle interacting with the quantized electromagnetic field and an external potential all decay, but such a particle should have a true ground sta…
Thomas-Fermi Theory
Elliott H. Lieb
This is a brief review of the Thomas-Fermi ("statistical" or "density functional") theory of atoms and molecules.
Lieb-Thirring Inequalities
Elliott H. Lieb
This is a brief review of Lieb-Thirring inequalities for eigenvalues of the Schroedinger operator and lower bounds for the quantum mechanical kinetic energy (and some generalizatio…
A Fresh Look at Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics
Elliott H. Lieb, Jakob Yngvason
This paper is a non-technical, informal presentation of our theory of the second law of thermodynamics as a law that is independent of statistical mechanics and that is derivable s…
Renormalization of the Regularized Relativistic Electron-Positron Field
Elliott H. Lieb, Heinz Siedentop
We consider the relativistic electron-positron field interacting with itself via the Coulomb potential defined with the physically motivated, positive, density-density quartic inte…
