Abstract

Instability in compression modes found by Glassgold. Heckrotte, and Watson (GHW) is related to Overhauser' s Hantree-Fock treatment of many-body systems, which predicted a ground state in a Fermi gas with a stationary density fluctuation of a given wavelength. By the use of Overhauser's SCF analysis, it is shown that density fluctuations and GHW instability exist for sufficiently strong attractive interactions, but not for repulsive or weak attractive interactions. The possible application of the results to the theory of He/sup 3/ freezing is discussed. (D.L.C.)
