Abstract 

Self-bound droplets and long range interactions

I will discuss the formation of self-bound droplets in ultracold gases with rotation-invariant short-range and also with dipolar interactions. They may be stabilsed by either three-body forces or by Casimir-like interactions of the LHY-type. The anisotropy of the interactions in the dipolar case leads to non-spherical droplets, whose aspect ratio vanishes in the thermodynamic limit.
