It is shown that the quantum phase transition in metallic non-s-wave ferromagnets, or spin nematics, is generically of first order. This is due to a coupling of the order parameter to soft electronic modes that play a role analogous to that…

A criterion for ferromagnetism is presented suggesting a line of proof to rigorously establish the phase transition. Spectral information will be required in certain invariant subspaces of the Hamiltonian, hopefully the relatively crude…
In the band theory of ferromagnetism there is a relative shift in the position of majority and minority spin bands due to the self-consistent field due to opposite spin electrons. In the simplest realization, the Stoner model, the majority…
