Abstract

Regularity of the deformation of the Fermi surface under short-range interactions is established for all contributions to the RPA self-energy (it is proven in an accompanying paper that the RPA graphs are the least regular contributions to the self-energy). Roughly speaking, the graphs contributing to the RPA self-energy are those constructed by contracting two external legs of a four-legged graph that consists of a string of bubbles. This regularity is a necessary ingredient in the proof that renormalization does not change the model. It turns out that the self-energy is more regular when derivatives are taken tangentially to the Fermi surface than when they are taken normal to the Fermi surface. The proofs require a very detailed analysis of the singularities that occur at those momenta p where the Fermi surface S is tangent to S + p. Models in which S is not symmetric under the reflection p → − p are included. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
