Large conduction band and Fermi velocity spin splittings due to Coulomb interactions in single-layer MoS_{2}

We study the effect of Coulomb interactions on the low energy band structure of single-layer transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductors using an effective low energy model. We show how a large conduction band spin splitting and a spin dependent Fermi velocity are generated in MoS$_2$, as a consequence of the difference between the gaps of the two spin projections induced by the spin-orbit interaction. The conduction band and Fermi velocity spin splittings found are in agreement with the optical absorption energies of the excitonic peaks A, B measured in the experiments.
