We consider a screened Coulomb interaction between electrons in graphene and determine their dynamic response functions, such as a longitudinal and a transverse electric conductivity and a polarization function and compare them to the corresponding quantities in the short-range interaction model. The calculations are performed to all orders for short-range interaction by taking into account the self-energy renormalization of the electron velocity and using a ladder approximation to account for the vertex corrections, ensuring that the Ward identity (charge conservation law) is satisfied. Our findings predict a resonant response of interacting electron-hole pairs at a particular frequency below the threshold $qv=omega$ and further predict an instability for sufficiently strong interactions.

We evaluate the dynamic structure factor $S(q,omega)$ of interacting one-dimensional spinless fermions with a nonlinear dispersion relation. The combined effect of the nonlinear dispersion and of the interactions leads to new universal features of $S (q,omega)$. The sharp peak $Spropto qdelta(omega-uq)$, characteristic for the Tomonaga-Luttinger model, broadens up; $S(q,omega)$ for a fixed $q$ becomes finite at arbitrarily large $omega$. The main spectral weight, however, is confined to a narrow frequency interval of the width $deltaomegasim q^2/m$. At the boundaries of this interval the structure factor exhibits power-law singularities with exponents depending on the interaction strength and on the wave number $q$.
We aim to understand how the spectrum of semi-Dirac fermions is renormalized due to long-range Coulomb electron-electron interactions at a topological Lifshitz transition, where two Dirac cones merge. At the transition, the electronic spectrum is cha racterized by massive quadratic dispersion in one direction, while it remains linear in the other. We have found that, to lowest order, the unconventional log squared (double logarithmic) correction to the quasiparticle mass in bare perturbation theory leads to resummation into strong mass renormalization in the exact full solution of the perturbative renormalization group equations. This behavior effectively wipes out the curvature of the dispersion and leads to Dirac cone restoration at low energy: the system flows towards Dirac dispersion which is anisotropic but linear in momentum, with interaction-depended logarithmic modulation. The Berry phase associated with the restored critical Dirac spectrum is zero - a property guaranteed by time-reversal symmetry and unchanged by renormalization. Our results are in contrast with the behavior that has been found within the large-$N$ approach.
We study the repulsive polaron problem in a two-component two-dimensional system of fermionic atoms. We use two different interaction models: a short-range (hard-disk) potential and a dipolar potential. In our approach, all the atoms have the same ma ss and we consider the system to be composed of a uniform bath of a single species and a single atomic impurity. We use the diffusion Monte Carlo method to evaluate polaron properties such as its chemical potential and pair distribution functions, together with a discussion on the deficit of volume induced by the impurity. We also evaluate observables that allow us to determine the validity of the quasi-particle picture: the quasi-particle residue and the effective mass of the polaron. Employing two different potentials allows us to identify the universality regime, where the properties depend only on the gas parameter $n a_s^2$ fixed by the bath density and the two-dimensional scattering length.
Hesselmann {it et al}.~question one of our conclusions, namely, the suppression of Fermi velocity at the Gross-Neveu critical point for the specific case of vanishing long-range interactions and at zero energy. The possibility they raise could occur in any finite-size extrapolation of numerical data. While we cannot definitively rule out this possibility, we provide mathematical bounds on its likelihood.
Dirac fermions are actively investigated, and the discovery of the quantized anomalous Hall effect of massive Dirac fermions has spurred the promise of low-energy electronics. Some materials hosting Dirac fermions are natural platforms for interlayer coherence effects such as Coulomb drag and exciton condensation. Here we determine the role played by the anomalous Hall effect in Coulomb drag in massive Dirac fermion systems. We focus on topological insulator films with out-of plane magnetizations in both the active and passive layers. The transverse response of the active layer is dominated by a topological term arising from the Berry curvature. We show that the topological mechanism does not contribute to Coulomb drag, yet the longitudinal drag force in the passive layer gives rise to a transverse drag current. This anomalous Hall drag current is independent of the active-layer magnetization, a fact that can be verified experimentally. It depends non-monotonically on the passive-layer magnetization, exhibiting a peak that becomes more pronounced at low densities. These findings should stimulate new experiments and quantitative studies of anomalous Hall drag.
