Motivated by recent optical measurements on a number of strongly correlated electron systems, we revisit the dependence of the conductivity of a Fermi liquid, \sigma(\Omega,T), on the frequency \Omega and temperature T. Using the Kubo…
Near a quantum-critical point in a metal a strong fermion-fermion interaction, mediated by a soft boson, destroys fermionic coherence and also gives rise to superconductivity. In a class of large $N$ models, one would naively expect an…
We study the damping rate of massless Dirac fermions due to the U(1) gauge field in (2+1)-dimensional quantum electrodynamics. In the absence of a Maxwell term for the gauge field, the fermion damping rate $\mathrm{Im}\Sigma(\omega,T)$ is…
A precursor effect on the Fermi surface in the two-dimensional Hubbard model at finite temperatures near the antiferromagnetic instability is studied using three different itinerant approaches: the second order perturbation theory, the…
We consider a two dimensional itinerant antiferromagnet near a quantum critical point. We show that, contrary to conventional wisdom, fermionic excitations in the ordered state are not the usual Fermi liquid quasiparticles. Instead, down to…
We present the expression for the quasiparticle vertex function $\Gamma^{\omega }(K_{F},P_{F})$ (proportional to the Landau function) in a 2D Fermi liquid (FL) near a $T=0$ instability towards antiferromagnetism. Previous studies have found…
Near a quantum-critical point in a metal strong fermion-fermion interaction mediated by a soft collective boson gives rise to incoherent, non-Fermi liquid behavior. It also often gives rise to superconductivity which masks the non-Fermi…
We calculate the fermionic spectral function $A_k (\omega)$ in the spiral spin-density-wave (SDW) state of the Hubbard model on a quasi-2D triangular lattice at small but finite temperature $T$. The spiral SDW order $\Delta (T)$ develops…
We re-consider the self-energy of a nodal (Dirac) fermion in a 2D d-wave superconductor. A conventional belief is that Im \Sigma (\omega, T) \sim max (\omega^3, T^3). We show that \Sigma (\omega, k, T) for k along the nodal direction is…
We review the leading momentum, frequency and temperature dependences of the single particle self-energy and the corresponding term in the entropy of a two dimensional Fermi liquid (FL) with a free particle spectrum. We calculate the…
We analyze the behavior of an itinerant Fermi system near a charge nematic(n=2) Pomeranchuk instability in terms of the Landau Fermi liquid (FL) theory. The main object of our study is the fully renormalized vertex function $\Gamma\Omega$,…
We discuss the low-temperature behavior of the electronic self-energy in the vicinity of a ferromagnetic instability in two dimensions within the two-particle self-consistent approximation, functional renormalization group and Ward-identity…
We study the low-energy behavior of the vertex function of a single Anderson impurity away from half-filling for finite magnetic fields, using the Ward identities with careful consideration of the anti-symmetry and analytic properties. The…
We study the impact of the fermionic self-energy on one-loop functional renormalization group flows of the two-dimensional $t$-$t'$ Hubbard model, with emphasis on electronic densities away from van Hove filling. In the presence of…
While it is well-known that the electron-electron (\emph{ee}) interaction cannot affect the resistivity of a Galilean-invariant Fermi liquid (FL), the reverse statement is not necessarily true: the resistivity of a non-Galilean-invariant FL…
We study the quantum critical behavior in an isotropic Fermi liquid in the vicinity of a zero-temperature density-wave transition at a finite wave vector q_c. We show that, near the transition, the Landau damping of the soft bosonic mode…
We propose a model of metallic critical point which we study at $T=0$ in the large-$N$ limit. We start with two species of fermions $u_i, d_i$, each with $N$ flavors and a gas of matrix bosons $b_{ij}$ with $N^2$ components. The fermions…
We study the properties of Fermi Liquids with the microscopic constraint of a local self-energy. In this case the forward scattering sum-rule imposes strong limitations on the Fermi-Liquid parameters, which rule out any Pomeranchek…
The $T^2$-scaling of resistivity with temperature is often viewed as a classic hallmark of a Fermi-liquid (FL) behavior in metals. However, if umklapp scattering is suppressed, this scaling is not universally guaranteed to occur. In this…
We compute the low-temperature behavior of the specific heat of normal (non-color-superconducting) degenerate quark matter as well as that of an ultradegenerate electron gas. Long-range magnetic interactions lead to non-Fermi-liquid…
