We consider a dilute gas of neutral unpolarized fermionic atoms at zero temperature. The atoms interact via a short-range (tunable) attractive interaction. We demonstrate analytically a curious property of the gas at unitarity. Namely, the correlation energy of the gas, evaluated by second-order perturbation theory, has the same density dependence as the first-order exchange energy, and the two ...

We consider a dilute gas of neutral unpolarized fermionic atoms at zero temperature. The atoms interact via a short-range (tunable) attractive interaction. We demonstrate analytically a curious property of the gas at unitarity. Namely, the correlation energy of the gas, evaluated by second-order perturbation theory, has the same density dependence as the first-order exchange energy, and the two almost exactly cancel each other at a Feshbach resonance irrespective of the shape of the potential, provided (mu rs) >> 1. Here (mu)(-1) is the range of the two-body potential, and rs is defined through the number density, n=3/ (4 pi r(s)(3)). The implications of this result for universality are discussed.
