Lieb--Thirring inequalities for large quantum systems with inverse nearest-neighbor interactions
We prove an analogue of the Lieb--Thirring inequality for many-body quantum systems with the kinetic operator $\sum_i (-Δ_i)^s$ and the interaction potential of the form $\sum_i δ_i^{-2s}$ where $δ_i$ is the nearest-neighbor distance to the point $x_i$. Our result extends the standard Lieb--Thirring inequality for fermions and applies to quantum systems without the anti-symmetry assumption on the wave functions. Additionally, we derive similar results for the Hardy--Lieb--Thirring inequality and obtain the asymptotic behavior of the optimal constants in the strong coupling limit.
