A Two Species Thomas-Fermi Model for Stellar Ground States
We present an energy functional for a Thomas-Fermi type two-fluid model of a self-gravitating non-rotating charged body, with a non-relativistic kinetic energy. We prove that, under certain conditions on the total number of positively charged and negatively charged particles, a minimizer exists and...

Zusammenfassung: | We present an energy functional for a Thomas-Fermi type two-fluid model of a self-gravitating non-rotating charged body, with a non-relativistic kinetic energy. We prove that, under certain conditions on the total number of positively charged and negatively charged particles, a minimizer exists and both fluids have compact support. We prove the same result for special relativistic kinetic energy, assuming further conditions on the total number of particles. In the non-relativistic kinetic energy case, we further prove the uniqueness of the minimizer, as well as present results relating the general shape of the minimizer to the total number of particles. |
