Let be the real-space area and use , with . There is one state per momentum cell, since the fermions are spinless. An annulus between and contains states. Near the Fermi surface, the quasiparticle dispersion relation has , so the total density of states isThe density of states per unit area and the occupied-state count are, respectively,In particular, . No factor of two for spin degeneracy is present. This counts Landau quasiparticle levels, so it is not multiplied by the quasiparticle residue of the microscopic particle Green's function.
