Abstract
Our first task will be the calculation of the ground-state energy of the system of electrons and ions as a function of the ionic coordinates {R l }, starting from the full electron-ion Hamiltonian given by (1.1). Furthermore, we shall seek an expansion of E({R l }) in terms of a volume energy and sums over pair, triplet and higher-order interactions.
