Abstract
The electron–electron many-body renormalization of the effective electron mass in the alkali metals and A1 is discussed on the basis of a critical analysis of the measured thermal electron mass, the calculated band mass and the calculated electron–phonon mass enhancement. The mass renormalization is small and of the same order of magnitude as for a uniform electron gas but is stressed that a direct comparision between these two cases is not justified.
