For a resting uniform continuum gas with pair interactions depending on relative positions, shifting every particle momentum by leaves interaction energy unchanged and changes the microscopic kinetic energy by . The resting ground state has total momentum . The resulting boost energy uses the bare mass even in an interacting Fermi liquid; matching this with the Landau quasiparticle energy functional constrains its interaction kernel.
