Abstract
We show that the many-fermion ground-state energy with an attractive potential has a critical singularity. This singularity destroys the validity of ``low-density'' approximations. We also find that the K-matrix formalism is, in principle, not applicable to attractive potentials because of the presence of ``Emery singularities.'' We introduce an R-matrix formalism which is numerically very close to the K matrix and free from manifest ``Emery singularities.'' A model calculation is performed on the lattice gas to try to anticipate what quality of results can be expected from summing an R-matrix expansion with fixed density.
