Non Fermi liquid renormalization of the conductivity of fermions coupled to gauge fields
نویسنده
چکیده
The method of the quantum kinetic equation is applied to the problem of renormalization of the conductivity of normal metals by gauge electronelectron interactions. It is shown that in the three-dimensional case the relativistic electromagnetic interaction (vector interaction of electrons with transverse photons) leads to an unusual temperature dependence, indicating a deviation from the Fermi liquid theory at low temperatures. In two dimensions such corrections are found to result from both the scalar (density-density or Coulomb) and the vector (current-current) gauge interactions.

متن کامل2 6 O ct 2 00 9 de Haas - van Alphen oscillations for non - relativistic fermions coupled to an emergent U ( 1 ) gauge field
We investigate magento-oscillations in the specific heat of non-relativistic fermions with a Fermi surface minimally coupled to a fluctuating U(1) gauge field. Our study is motivated by the recent observation of quantum oscillations in the underdoped cuprates, and by theoretical models of pocket Fermi surfaces realizing a non-Fermi liquid ‘algebraic charge liquid’. Our main result is the comput...

متن کاملInstability of the Non-Fermi-Liquid Fixed Point in the Dissipative Gauge Theory of Fermions (I): Impurity Effects
We study a dissipative gauge theory of nonrelativistic fermions in 2+1 dimensions at zero temperature by the Wilsonian renormalization-group method. In this theory, we incorporate in the fermion propagator a new term of the form iκ · sgn(ω) (where κ is a parameter and ω is the fermion frequency), which is usually induced by impurity effects. In the previous papers, we studied this system for κ ...
متن کاملFinite-temperature properties of a gauge theory of nonrelativistic fermions.
We study the finite temperature properties of the gauge theory of nonrelativistic fermions introduced by Halperin, Lee, and Read. This gauge theory is relevant to two interesting systems: high-Tc superconductors in the anomalous metallic phase and a two-dimensional electron system in a strong magnetic field at the Landau filling factor ν = 1/2. We calculate the self-energies of both gauge boson...
