Fermi-Liquid Description of a Single-Component Fermi Gas with p -Wave Interactions

Abstract

We study the Fermi liquid properties of a single component Fermi gas with p-wave interactions. In the weak repulsive limit, we obtain exact perturbative expansions for the ground state energy, the chemical potential, and the effective mass of the Landau quasiparticle up to second order in scattering volume a. We also calculated the corresponding Landau functions and Landau parameters and show that they satisfy the general Fermi liquid identities. Using the Landau transport equation, we show that undamped zero sound only appears in the second order in scattering volume, in contrast to the s-wave case.

Quantum Monte Carlo study of the role of p -wave interactions in ultracold repulsive Fermi gases

Gianluca Bertaina, Marco G. Tarallo, Sebastiano Pilati

Single-component ultracold atomic Fermi gases are usually described using noninteracting many-fermion models. However, recent experiments reached a regime where $p$-wave interactions among identical fermionic atoms are important. In this paper, we employ variational and fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the ground-state properties of single-component Fermi gases with short-range repulsive interactions. We determine the zero-temperature equation of state, and elucidate the roles played by the $p$-wave scattering volume and the $p$-wave effective range. A comparison against recently derived second-order perturbative results shows good agreement in a broad range of interaction strength. We also compute the quasiparticle effective mass, and we confirm the perturbative prediction of a linear contribution in the $p$-wave scattering volume, while we find significant deviations from the beyond-mean-field perturbative result, already for moderate interaction strengths. Finally, we determine ground-state energies for two-component unpolarized Fermi gases with both interspecies and intraspecies hard-sphere interactions, finding remarkable agreement with a recently derived fourth-order expansion that includes $p$-wave contributions.

Fermi liquid of two-dimensional polar molecules

Zhen-Kai Lu, Gora V. Shlyapnikov

We study Fermi-liquid properties of a weakly interacting two-dimensional gas of single-component fermionic polar molecules with dipole moments $d$ oriented perpendicularly to the plane of their translational motion. This geometry allows the minimization of inelastic losses due to chemical reactions for reactive molecules and, at the same time, provides a possibility of a clear description of many-body (beyond mean-field) effects. The long-range character of the dipole-dipole repulsive interaction between the molecules, which scales as $1/{r}^{3}$ at large distances $r$, makes the problem drastically different from the well-known problem of the two-species Fermi gas with repulsive contact interspecies interaction. We solve the low-energy scattering problem and develop a many-body perturbation theory beyond the mean field. The theory relies on the presence of a small parameter ${k}_{F}{r}_{*}$, where ${k}_{F}$ is the Fermi momentum and ${r}_{*}=m{d}^{2}/{\ensuremath{\hbar}}^{2}$ is the dipole-dipole length, with $m$ being the molecule mass. We obtain thermodynamic quantities as a series of expansion up to the second order in ${k}_{F}{r}_{*}$ and argue that many-body corrections to the ground-state energy can be identified in experiments with ultracold molecules, as it has been recently done for ultracold fermionic atoms. Moreover, we show that only many-body effects provide the existence of zero sound and calculate the sound velocity.

A low-energy effective Hamiltonian for Landau quasiparticles: II. Application to the contact Fermi gas

Pierre-Louis Taillat, Hadrien Kurkjian

This article follows up on arxiv:2511.15938, in which we developed an Hamiltonian renormalization scheme to construct a quantized theory of Fermi liquids. Here, we apply this formalism to a low-temperature atomic Fermi gas where the short-range interactions are fully parametrized by the s-wave scattering length $a$. We benchmark our renormalized theory by recovering known perturbative results on the static properties of the Fermi gas, such as the Lee-Huang-Yang expansion of the equation of state, the Galitskii expansion of the momentum distribution, and the Gor'kov-Melik Barkhudarov preexponential correction to the critical temperature. We then turn to the transport dynamics and demonstrate the presence of a preexponential correction to the speed of zero sound when including corrections of second order in $a$. Finally, we develop an efficient numerical method to solve the transport equation exactly, and we apply it to study the crossover from the collisionless to the hydrodynamic regime in the density and polarisation response functions.

Novel Fermi Liquid of 2D Polar Molecules

Zhen-Kai Lu, Georgy V. Shlyapnikov

We study Fermi liquid properties of a weakly interacting 2D gas of single-component fermionic polar molecules with dipole moments $d$ oriented perpendicularly to the plane of their translational motion. This geometry allows the minimization of inelastic losses due to chemical reactions for reactive molecules and, at the same time, provides a possibility of a clear description of many-body (beyond mean field) effects. The long-range character of the dipole-dipole repulsive interaction between the molecules, which scales as $1/r^3$ at large distances $r$, makes the problem drastically different from the well-known problem of the two-species Fermi gas with repulsive contact interspecies interaction. We solve the low-energy scattering problem and develop a many-body perturbation theory beyond the mean field. The theory relies on the presence of a small parameter $k_Fr_*$, where $k_F$ is the Fermi momentum, and $r_*=md^2/\hbar^2$ is the dipole-dipole length, with $m$ being the molecule mass. We obtain thermodynamic quantities as a series of expansion up to the second order in $k_Fr_*$ and argue that many-body corrections to the ground-state energy can be identified in experiments with ultracold molecules, like it has been recently done for ultracold fermionic atoms. Moreover, we show that only many-body effects provide the existence of zero sound and calculate the sound velocity.

Low-density repulsive Fermi gas in two dimensions: Bound-pair excitations and Fermi-liquid behavior

Jan R. Engelbrecht, Mohit Randeria

We study the dilute-gas expansion for a two-dimensional Fermi system with arbitrary short-range repulsive interactions. In contrast with the three-dimensional case, we find an unusual pole in the vertex part in the particle-particle channel, for all center-of-mass momenta q2${\mathit{k}}_{\mathit{F}}$. We show that this represents an excitation consisting of bound hole pairs, which disperses down to zero energy at q=2${\mathit{k}}_{\mathit{F}}$. We study the effect of these bound states on the single-particle self-energy and find that the quasiparticles are well defined. Thus in the low-density regime, there is no breakdown of Fermi-liquid theory. In the Appendix we discuss the two-particle phase shift in the dilute Fermi gas, its connection with bound states, and the analogy with the potential scattering phase shift.

Atypical behavior of collective modes in two-dimensional Fermi liquids

M P Gochan, J T Heath, K S Bedell

Abstract Using the Landau kinetic equation to study the non-equilibrium behavior of interacting Fermi systems is one of the crowning achievements of Landau’s Fermi liquid theory. While thorough study of transport modes has been done for standard three-dimensional Fermi liquids, an equally in-depth analysis for two dimensional Fermi liquids is lacking. In applying the Landau kinetic equation (LKE) to a two-dimensional Fermi liquid, we obtain unconventional behavior of the zero sound mode c 0 . As a function of the usual dimensionless parameter s = ω / q v F , we find two peculiar results: first, for | s | > 1 we see the propagation of an undamped mode for weakly interacting systems. This differs from the three dimensional case where an undamped mode only propagates for repulsive interactions and the mode experiences Landau damping for any arbitrary attractive interaction. Second, we find that regardless of interaction strength, a propagating mode is forbidden for | s | < 1. This is profoundly different from the three-dimensional case where a mode can propagate, albeit damped. In addition, we present a revised Pomeranchuk instability condition for a two-dimensional Fermi liquid as well as equations of motion for the fluid that follow directly from the LKE. In two dimensions, we find a constant minimum for all Landau parameters for ℓ ⩾ 1 which differs from the three dimensional case. Finally we discuss the effect of a Coulomb interaction on the system resulting in the plasmon frequency ω p exhibiting a crossover to the zero sound mode.
