Rigorous Proof of Fermi Liquid Behavior for Jellium Two-Dimensional Interacting Fermions

Margherita Disertori, Vincent Rivasseau

Published Jul 10, 2000• 21 citations

Abstract

Using the method of continuous constructive renormalization group around the Fermi surface, we prove that a jellium two-dimensional interacting system of fermions at low temperature T is analytic in the coupling constant lambda for |lambda| |logT|</=K, where K is some numerical constant and T is the temperature. In that range of parameters, the first and second derivatives of the self-energy remain bounded, a behavior seen in Fermi liquids but, in particular, not in Luttinger liquids. Our results also prove that in 2D any transition temperature must be nonperturbative in the coupling constant, a result expected on physical grounds. The proof exploits specific momentum conservation rules in two dimensions.

Fermi liquid behavior in the 2D Hubbard model at low temperatures

G. Benfatto, Alessandro Giuliani, Vieri Mastropietro

Abstract. We prove that the weak coupling 2D Hubbard model away from half filling is a Landau Fermi liquid up to exponentially small temperatures. In particular we show that the wave function renormalization is an order 1 constant and essentially temperature independent in the considered range of temperatures and that the interacting Fermi surface is a regular convex curve. This result is obtained by deriving a convergent expansion (which is not a power series) for the two point Schwinger function by Renormalization Group methods and proving at each order suitable power counting improvements due to the convexity of the interacting Fermi surface. Convergence follows from determinant bounds for the fermionic expectations.

Phase Transitions in the Hubbard Model on the Square Lattice

Zhituo Wang

We study the low temperature properties of the two-dimensional weakly interacting Hubbard model on $\ZZZ^2$ with renormalized chemical potential $μ=2-μ_0$, $μ_0=10^{-10}$ fixed, in which case the Fermi surface is close to a perfect square. Using fermionic functional integrals, cluster expansions and rigorous renormalization group analysis, we prove that the perturbation series for the two-point Schwinger function is analytic in the coupling constant $ł$ in the domain $ł\in\RR_T=\{ł\in\RRR,\vertλ\log^2(μ_0T/C_1)|\le C_2\}$ for any fixed temperature $T>0$, suggesting that there is a phase transition with critical temperature $T_c= \frac{C_1}{\m_0}\exp{(-C^{1/2}_2|λ|^{-1/2})}$. Here $C_1, C_2$ are positive constants independent of $T$ and $ł$. We also prove that the second derivative of the momentum space self-energy function w.r.t. the external momentum is not uniformly bounded, suggesting that this model is {\it not} a Fermi liquid in the mathematically precise sense of Salmhofer. This result can be viewed as a first step towards rigorous study of the Fermi liquid-non Fermi liquid crossover phenomenon.

Bosonization for 2D Interacting Fermion Systems: Non-Fermi Liquid Behavior

Yi-Cong Yu, Y. M. Li, Cv Al

Non-Fermi liquid behavior is found for the first time in a two-dimensional (2D) system with non-singular interactions using Haldane’s bosonization scheme. The bosonized system is solved exactly by a generalized Bogoliubov transformation. The fermion momentum distribution, calculated using a generalized Mattis-Lieb technique, exhibits a non-universal power law in the vicinity of the Fermi surface for intermediate interaction strengths. In recent years, there has been great interest in possible non-Fermi-liquid-like behavior in the ground state of two-dimensional (2D) strongly correlated fermionic systems [1]. It is well-known that in one dimension the ground state of a fermionic system with arbitrarily weak interactions is not a Fermi liquid but a state usually known as a Luttinger liquid [2]. For the 2D case, many studies have suggested that, in the limit of weak interactions, this behavior does not appear [3]. Studies of systems with a small number of particles also suggest Fermi liquid behavior in 2D [4]. Although Khveshchenko et al have found non-Fermi-liquid behavior in 2D, they worked only with a singular long-range current-current interaction [5]. The one-dimensional Luttinger liquid solution can be obtained by a bosonization

Luttinger liquid fixed point for a two-dimensional flat Fermi surface

Vieri Mastropietro

We consider a system of two-dimensional interacting fermions with a flat Fermi surface. The apparent conflict between Luttinger and non-Luttinger liquid behaviors found through different approximations is resolved by showing the existence of a line of nontrivial fixed points, for the renormalization group (RG) flow, corresponding to Luttinger liquid behavior; the presence of marginally relevant operators can cause flow away from the fixed point. The analysis is nonperturbative and based on the implementation, at each RG iteration, of Ward identities obtained from local phase transformations depending on the Fermi surface side, implying the partial vanishing of the beta function.

Conservation laws and correlation functions in the Luttinger liquid

Walter Metzner, C. Di Castro

The low-energy properties of interacting Fermi systems are highly constrained by conservation laws. They generally simplify the structure of the underlying renormalization group by reducing the number of independent renormalization constants. In one dimension, all properties of normal metallic fixed points are uniquely determined by separate charge and spin conservation for states near the left and right Fermi points, respectively. We construct the general Luttinger-liquid theory of one-dimensional (1D) metals directly from these conservation laws. Luttinger-liquid parameters emerge naturally from the velocities associated with the conserved currents at the Luttinger-liquid fixed point. Instead of bosonization, one may thus use techniques familiar from Fermi-liquid theory, i.e., Feynman diagrams, equations of motion, and Ward identities. The choice of a technique comprising both Fermi- and Luttinger-liquid theory makes the similarities and differences of both theories particularly transparent, and sets the stage for constructing non-Fermi-liquid metallic fixed points in d>1. Several generic properties and asymptotic conservation laws of 2D non-Fermi-liquid metals are discussed.
