Two-dimensional Landau effective-mass relation

ID: two-dimensional-landau-effective-mass-relation

For an isotropic spinless continuum Fermi liquid with the Principle of Galilean relativity, let be the total density of states and use a Landau quasiparticle energy functional whose double sum has no explicit . Then
Indeed, a small boost has radial displacement . The one-quasiparticle term costs , and the quadratic interaction multiplies that by , since . Matching the Galilean boost energy of an interacting gas proves the formula. With Fourier series , the angular average is . If the functional instead contains , use its intensive kernel and the density of states per area.
