Title:         Fermi Systems With Long Range Interactions

Abstract:
Dr. Bru will define a Banach space of models for fermions or quantum spins in the lattice with long range interactions and explicit the structure of (generalized) equilibrium states.  This gives a first answer to an old open problem in mathematical physics, first addressed by Ginibre in 1968 within a different context, about the validity of the so-called Bogoliubov approximation on the level of states.  As an application, Dr. Bru will present some thermodynamic properties of a certain type of inhomogeneous Fermi and quantum spin systems on lattices.
