The Thomas-Fermi approximation for gauge theories
An effective field approximation, similar to the atomic Thomas-Fermi approach, is proposed for studying non-Abelian gauge theories which includes finitevolume effects. As applications of the formalism the equation of state for an SU(2) gauge theory with massless fermions is obtained. The extensions to realistic situations are briefly discussed. ?

متن کاملRevised Thomas-Fermi approximation for singular potentials
Approximations for the many-fermion free-energy density functional that include the Thomas-Fermi (TF) form for the noninteracting part lead to singular densities for singular external potentials (e.g., attractive Coulomb). This limitation of the TF approximation is addressed here by a formal map of the exact Euler equation for the density onto an equivalent TF form characterized by a modified K...
متن کاملRational approximation to Thomas–Fermi equations
We show that a simple and straightforward rational approximation to the Thomas– Fermi equation provides the slope at origin with unprecedented accuracy and that relatively small Padé approximants are far more accurate than more elaborate approaches proposed recently by other authors. We consider both the Thomas–Fermi equation for isolated atoms and for atoms in strong magnetic fields.
متن کاملRational approximation to the Thomas–Fermi equation
We discuss a recently proposed analytic solution to the Thomas– Fermi (TF) equation and show that earlier approaches provide more accurate results. In particular, we show that a simple and straightforward rational approximation to the TF equation yields the slope at origin with unprecedented accuracy, as well as remarkable values of the TF function and its first derivative for other coordinate ...
متن کاملThomas–Fermi Approximation and Basics of the Density Functional Theory
As stated at the beginning of section 2.7 the total energy is a key function describing the basic physical and chemical properties of materials: the ground state. It consists of both kinetic (describing motion) and potential energy parts. To make a theoretical model realistic it is very important to incorporate all important contributions to both the parts of the total energy. In view of the bi...
