Abstract
We present an exact many-body theory of ultracold fermionic gases for the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) regime of the BEC-BCS crossover. This is a purely fermionic approach which treats explicitly and systematically the dimers formed in the BEC regime as made of two fermions. We consider specifically the zero temperature case and calculate the first terms of the expansion of the chemical potential in powers of the density $n$. We derive first the mean-field contribution, which has the expected standard expression when it is written in terms of the dimer-dimer scattering length ${a}_{M}$. We go next in the expansion to the Lee-Huang-Yang order, proportional to ${n}^{3∕2}$. We find the far less obvious result that it retains also the same expression in terms of ${a}_{M}$ as for elementary bosons. The composite nature of the dimers appears only in the next term proportional to ${n}^{2}$.
