Symplectic-capacity conjecture for Fermi ellipsoids
Symplectic-capacity conjecture for Fermi ellipsoids
Let be a quantum state such that the Fermi equation defines a hypersurface in phase space bounding a compact set . A quantum blob is the phase-space object referred to in the conjecture, and denotes a symplectic capacity. Fermi-set capacity conjecture. There exists a symplectic capacity satisfying
and the compact set contains a quantum blob. This conjecture extends the discussion of the Fermi function and associated Fermi ellipsoid beyond Gaussian states; the source provides no resolution of the claim.
