The operator H N is assumed to act on wave functions ψ(x 1 , ...,X N ; x N+1 , ...,x 2N ) which are symmetric in the variables (x l9 ... 9 x N ) and (x N+ί ,...,x 2N ). Suppose \p is supported in a set Λ 2N , where A is a cube in R 3 . It is shown that if a normalized wave function ψ can be written as a product of two wave functions and the density of particles in A is constant, then (ιp\H N \ιpy ^ -CN Ί/5 for some universal constant C.
