Non-Fermi Liquid Behaviour in d = 2 Spatial Dimension

Abstract

We consider a local effective model for fermionic low lying excitations in a metal. Introducing a boson auxiliary field and taking into account that the most significant interactions between quasiparticles arise for those which are near a given point on the Fermi surface, we find that the effective boson-fermion interaction is singular for a spatial dimension d=2. We regularize the theory and apply the renormalization group method. As we vary the coupling constant as a function of an energy scale parameter we show that the model undergoes a non-perturbative regime in which the Fermi liquid theory is no longer valid.
