Brydges D., Keller, G. Absence of Debye Screening in the Quantum Coulomb System (29K, LaTeX) ABSTRACT. We present an approximation to the quantum Coulomb plasma at equilibrium which captures the power-law violations of Debye screening which have been reported in recent papers. The objectives are: (1) to produce a simpler model which we will study in forthcoming papers, (2) to develop a strategy by which the absence of screening can be proven for the low density quantum Coulomb plasma itself.
