We present the detailed formalism of the extremely correlated Fermi liquid theory, developed for treating the physics of the t-J model. We start from the exact Schwinger equation of motion for the Greens function for projected electrons, and develop a systematic expansion in a parameter lambda, relating to the double occupancy. The resulting Greens function has a canonical part arising from an effective Hamiltonian of the auxiliary electrons, and a caparison part, playing the role of a frequency dependent adaptive spectral weight. This adaptive weight balances the requirement at low omega, of the invariance of the Fermi volume, and at high omega, of decaying as c_0/(i omega), with a correlation depleted c_0 <1. The effective Hamiltonian H_{eff} describing the auxiliary Fermions is given a natural interpretation with an effective interaction V_{eff} containing both the exchange J(ij), and the hopping parameters t(ij). It is made Hermitian by adding suitable terms that ultimately vanish, in the symmetrized theory developed in this paper. Simple but important shift invariances of the t-J model are noted with respect to translating its parameters uniformly. These play a crucial role in constraining the form of V_{eff} and also provide checks for further approximations. The auxiliary and physical Greens function satisfy two sum rules, and the Lagrange multipliers for these are identified. A complete set of expressions for the Greens functions to second order in lambda is given, satisfying various invariances. A systematic iterative procedure for higher order approximations is detailed. A superconducting instability of the theory is noted at the simplest level with a high transition temperature.

We present detailed results from a recent microscopic theory of extremely correlated Fermi liquids, applied to the t-J model in two dimensions. We use typical sets of band parameters relevant to the cuprate superconductors. The second order theory in the parameter lambda is argued to be quantitatively valid in the overdoped regime for 0 < n < 0.75 (n is the particle density). The calculation involves the self consistent solution of equations for an auxiliary Fermi liquid type Greens function and an adaptive spectral weight, or caparison factor, described in recent papers by Shastry (Refs. (1) and (5)). We present the numerical results at low as well as high T at various low to intermediate densities in the normal phase with emphasis placed on features that are experimentally accessible. We display the momentum space occupation function m(k), various energy dispersions locating the peaks of spectral functions, the optical conductivity, relaxation rates for quasiparticles, and the electronic spectral functions along various directions in the Brillouin zone, and with typical additional elastic scattering. The line-shapes have an asymmetric shape and a broad background that is seen in experiments near and beyond optimal hole doping, and validate approximate recent rece
We present theoretical results for the optical conductivity and the non-resonant Raman susceptibilities for three principal polarization geometries relevant to the square lattice. The susceptibilities are obtained using the recently developed extremely correlated Fermi liquid theory for the two-dimensional t-t-J model, where t and t are the nearest and second neighbor hopping. Our results are sensitively depending on t, t. By studying this quartet of related dynamical susceptibilities, and their dependence on t, t, doping and temperature, we provide a useful framework for interpreting and planning future Raman experiments on the strongly correlated matter.
Non-Fermi liquids in $d=2$ spatial dimensions can arise from coupling a Fermi surface to a gapless boson. At finite temperature, however, the perturbative quantum field theory description breaks down due to infrared divergences. These are caused by virtual static bosonic modes, and afflict both fermionic and bosonic correlators. We show how these divergences are resolved by self-consistent boson and fermion self-energies that resum an infinite class of diagrams and correct the standard Eliashberg equations. Extending a previous approach in $d=3-epsilon$ dimensions, we find a new thermal non-Fermi liquid regime that violates the scaling laws of the zero temperature fixed point and dominates over a wide range of scales. We conclude that basic properties of quantum phase transitions and quantum-classical crossovers at finite temperature are modified in crucial ways in systems with soft bosonic fluctuations, and we begin a study of some of the phenomenological consequences.
Some materials can have the dispersionless parts in their electronic spectra. These parts are usually called flat bands and generate the corps of unusual physical properties of such materials. These flat bands are induced by the condensation of fermionic quasiparticles, being very similar to the Bose condensation. The difference is that fermions to condense, the Fermi surface should change its topology, leading to violation of time-reversal (T) and particle-hole (C) symmetries. Thus, the famous Landau theory of Fermi liquids does not work for the systems with fermion condensate (FC) so that several experimentally observable anomalies have not been explained so far. Here we use FC approach to explain recent observations of the asymmetric tunneling conductivity in heavy-fermion compounds and graphene and its restoration in magnetic fields, as well as the violation of Leggett theorem, recently observed experimentally in overdoped cuprates, and recent observation of the challenging universal scaling connecting linear-$T$-dependent resistivity to the superconducting superfluid density.
Thermoelectric power ($S$) and Hall effect ($R_mathrm{H}$) measurements on the paramagnetic superconductor UTe$_2$ with magnetic field applied along the hard magnetization $b$-axis are reported. The first order nature of the metamagnetic transition at $H_mathrm{m}=H^b_mathrm{c2}=35$~T leads to drastic consequences on $S$ and $R_mathrm{H}$. In contrast to the field dependence of the specific heat in the normal state through $H_mathrm{m}$, $S(H)$ is not symmetric with respect to $H_mathrm{m}$. This implies a strong interplay between ferromagnetic (FM) fluctuations and a Fermi-surface reconstruction at $H_mathrm{m}$. $R_mathrm{H}$ is very well described by incoherent skew scattering above the coherence temperature $T_mathrm{m}$ corresponding roughly to the temperature of the maximum in the susceptibility $T_{chi_mathrm{max}}$ and coherent skew scattering at lower temperatures. The discontinuous field dependence of both, $S(H)$ and the ordinary Hall coefficient $R_0$, at $H_mathrm{m}$ and at low temperature, provides evidence of a change in the band structure at the Fermi level.
