Quantum oscillations in hole doped high temperature superconductors are difficult to understand within the prevailing views. An emerging idea is that of a putative normal ground state, which appears to be a Fermi liquid with a reconstructed…

We consider a two-dimensional Fermi liquid coupled to low-energy commensurate spin fluctuations. At small coupling, the hole Fermi surface is large and centered around $(\pi,\pi)$. We show that as the coupling increases, the shape of the…
