Spontaneous symmetry breaking and Lifshitz transition in bilayer graphene

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2013-12-19 v1

Abstract

We derive the renormalization group equations describing all the short-range interactions in bilayer graphene allowed by symmetry and the long range Coulomb interaction. For certain range of parameters, we predict the first order phase transition to the uniaxially deformed gapless state accompanied by the change of the topology of the electron spectrum.
