On the thermodynamic limit for Hartree-Fock type models
(657K, Postcript)

ABSTRACT.  We continue here our study of the thermodynamic limit for 
various models of Quantum Chemistry, this time focusing on the Hartree-Fock type models. 
For the reduced Hartree-Fock model, we prove the existence of the thermodynamic limit for the 
ground-state energy per unit volume. We also suggest a periodic problem 
associated to the Hartree-Fock model, and prove that it is well-posed.
