We study the instability of the metallic state towards the formation of a new ground state in graphene doped near the van Hove singularity. The system is described by the Hubbard model and a field theoretical approach is used to calculate…
We study the electronic instabilities in a 2D Hubbard model where one of the dimensions has a finite width, so that it can be considered as a large array of coupled chains. The finite transverse size of the system gives rise to a discrete…

We prove regularity properties of the self-energy, to all orders in perturbation theory, for systems with singular Fermi surfaces which contain Van Hove points where the gradient of the dispersion relation vanishes. In this paper, we show…
We find an exotic spin excitation in a magnetically ordered system with spin orbit magnetism in 2D, where the order parameter has a net spin current and no net magnetization. Starting from a Fermi liquid theory, similar to that for a weak…
