Abstract

We consider a dilute Fermi gas in the thermodynamic limit with interaction potential scattering length a0\mathfrak{a}_0 at temperature T>0T>0. We prove the 2nd order Huang-Yang approximation for the Fermi pressure of the system, in which there is a 2nd order term carrying the positive temperature efffect.Our formula is valid up to the temperature T<ρ23+16T<\rho^{\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{6}}, which is, by scaling, also necessary for the Huang-Yang formula to hold. Here, TFρ23T_F\sim\rho^{\frac{2}{3}} is the Fermi temperature. We also establish during the course of the proof, a conjecture regarding the second order approximation of density ρ\rho by R. Seiringer \cite{FermithermoTpositive}. Our proof uses frequency localization techniques from the analysis of nonlinear PDEs and does not involve spatial localization or Bosonization. In particular, our method covers the classical Huang-Yang formula at zero temperature.
