We calculate rigorously, in a suitable thermodynamic limit, the free energy of a system of nonrelativistic fermions which interact with attractiver−1-potentials. It is shown that the effective field approximation becomes exact in this limit and results in the temperature-dependent Thomas-Fermi equations.
