Pomeranchuk and topological Fermi surface instabilities from central interactions

We address at the mean field level the emergence of a Pomeranchuk instability in a uniform Fermi liquid with central particle-particle
interactions. We find that Pomeranchuk instabilities with all symmetries
except l=1 can take place if the interaction is repulsive and has
a finite range r(0) of the order of the interparticle distance. We
demonstrate this by solving the mean field equations analytically
for an explicit model interaction, as well as numerical results for
more…

The flow of effective interactions and susceptibilities confirms the expected existence of a d-wave pairing instability driven by antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations and finds that strong forward scattering interactions develop which may lead to a Pomeranchuk instability breaking the tetragonal symmetry of the Fermi surface.
