the vanishing overlap between Fermi sea ground states with and without a local scattering potential as particle number grows.

In condensed matter physics, orthogonality catastrophe refers to the vanishing overlap between Fermi sea ground states with and without a local scattering potential as particle number grows. This meaning comes from Anderson (1967) in Physical Review Letters.[1]
