Abstract
Starting from the action principle, a bulk plasmon dispersion relation is obtained. We work with Slater determinants built of plane waves and consider a Hermitian generator of plasma oscillations (with well-defined q momentum) S=αQ-βP, where Q=

If the parameters α and β are small, the amplitude of the plasma oscillations generated by S is small. The quantum-mechanical action principle leads, in the harmonic approximation, to a quadratic Lagrangian

The resulting bulk plasmon dispersion relation is related to the energy-weighted and cubic-energy-weighted sum rules. Finally, we compare our results with the experimental data.
