Understanding many-electron fermionic ground states as bosonic excited states

ORAL

Abstract

We consider the novel question of, ``Which state in the spectrum of a system of distinguishable particles is the ground state of the same system made up of indistinguishable fermions?'' We discuss how this can be approximated for many-electron systems and illustrate its importance in our new semiclassical method correlated Thomas-Fermi (CTF).
