Quantum Debye-Hueckel theory and the possible plasma phase transition

Description

In this paper the author first sketches the calculation of the pressure of a neutral, ion-electron gas as an expansion in powers of the electron charge, e, by means of the Matsubara, finite-temperature, many-body, perturbation theory. He then goes on to derive the Debye-Hue term and other equations to support his contentions. His results support but do not prove the existence of a phase transition
