Upper Bounds to the Ground State Energies of the One- and Two-Component Charged Bose Gases

Abstract

We prove upper bounds on the ground state energies of the one- and two-component charged Bose gases. The upper bound for the one-component gas agrees with the high density asymptotic formula proposed by L. Foldy in 1961. The upper bound for the two-component gas agrees in the large particle number limit with the asymptotic formula conjectured by F. Dyson in 1967. Matching asymptotic lower bounds for these systems were proved in references [10] and [11]. The formulas of Foldy and Dyson which are based on Bogolubov’s pairing theory have thus been validated.
