Abstract
The correlation energy per electron in the high-density uniform electron gas can be written as , where is the Seitz radius and is the relative spin polarization. We derive an expression for which is exact for any , including the paramagnetic and ferromagnetic limits, and , and discover that the previously published value is incorrect. We trace this error to an integration and limit that do not commute. The spin-resolution of into contributions of electron pairs is also derived.
