A Luttinger’s theorem revisited

چکیده
For uniform systems of spin-less fermions in d spatial dimensions with d > 1, interacting through the isotropic two-body potential v(r − r), a celebrated theorem due to Luttinger (1961) states that under the assumption of validity of the many-body perturbation theory the self-energy Σ(k; ε), with 0 ≤ k∼3kF (where kF stands for the Fermi wavenumber), satisfies the following universal asymptotic relation as ε approaches the Fermi energy εF : ImΣ(k; ε) ∼ ∓αk(ε− εF ) , ε<εF , with αk ≥ 0. As this is, by definition, specific to self-energies of Landau Fermi-liquid systems, treatment of non-Fermi-liquid systems are therefore thought to lie outside the domain of applicability of the many-body perturbation theory; that, for these systems, the many-body perturbation theory should necessarily break down. We demonstrate that ImΣ(k; ε) ∼ ∓αk(ε− εF ) , ε<εF , is implicit in Luttinger’s proof and that, for d > 1, in principle nothing prohibits a non-Fermi-liquid-type (and, in particular Luttinger-liquid-type) Σ(k; ε) from being obtained within the framework of the many-body perturbation theory. We in addition indicate how seemingly innocuous Taylor expansions of the self-energy with respect to k, ε or both amount to tacitly assuming that the metallic system under consideration is a Fermi liquid, whether the self-energy is calculated perturbatively or otherwise. Proofs that a certain metallic system is in a Fermi-liquid state, based on such expansions, are therefore tautologies.

Theory of the Luttinger surface in doped Mott insulators
We prove that the Mott insulating state is characterized by a divergence of the electron self-energy at well-defined values of momenta in the first Brillouin zone. When particle-hole symmetry is present, the divergence obtains at the momenta of the Fermi surface for the corresponding noninteracting system. Such a divergence gives rise to a surface of zeros the Luttinger surface of the single-pa...

We discuss ground state properties of a mixture of two fermion species which can bind to form a molecular boson. When the densities of the fermions are unbalanced, one or more Fermi surfaces can appear: we describe the constraints placed by Luttinger’s theorem on the volumes enclosed by these surfaces in such Bose-Fermi mixtures. We also discuss the nature of the quantum phase transitions invol...
متن کاملAngle-resolved photoemission spectra of the Hubbard model
We discuss spectra calculated for the two-dimensional Hubbard model in the intermediate coupling regime with the dynamical cluster approximation, which is a nonperturbative approach. We find a crossover from a normal Fermi liquid with a Fermi surface closed around the Brillouin-zone center at large doping to a nonFermi liquid for small doping where the Fermi surface is holelike, closed around M...
متن کاملUnderstanding correlated electron systems by a classification of Mott insulators
This article surveys the physics of systems proximate to Mott insulators, and presents a classification using conventional and topological order parameters. This classification offers a valuable perspective on a variety of conducting correlated electron systems, from the cuprate superconductors to the heavy fermion compounds. Connections are drawn, and distinctions made, between collinear/non-c...
متن کاملKellerer’s theorem revisited
Kellerer’s theorem asserts the existence of a Markovian martingale with given marginals, assumed to increase in the convex order. It is revisited here, in the light of previous papers by Hirsch-Roynette and by G.Lowther.
