Effect of paramagnetic fluctuations on a Fermi surface topological transition in two dimensions

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study the Fermi surface topological transition of the pocket-opening type in a two dimensional Fermi liquid. We find that the paramagnetic fluctuations in an interacting Fermi liquid typically drive the transition first order at zero temperature. We first gain insight from a calculation using second order perturbation theory in the self-energy. This is valid for weak interaction and far from instabilities. We then extend the results to stronger interaction, using the self-consistent fluctuation approximation. Experimental signatures are given in the light of these results.
