BREAKDOWN OF LANDAU FERMI LIQUID IN 2D
Hua Chen, Daniel Charles Mattis
We study the paramagnetic phase of the Hubbard model at low density in 2D. In addition to the Landau Fermi liquid phase at small U > 0, in which fk is discontinuous at kF, we find a novel "Quantum Fermi Liquid" (QFL) phase for [Formula: see text](≈ 17 ∊F) in which fk is continuous at kF but df/dk|F = −∞. The lifetime of QFL quasiparticles at kF is τ ∝ T−1 (rather than T−2). The phenomenological "Marginal Fermi Liquid" is identified as a special case of the QFL at [Formula: see text] precisely.
