On the Sector Counting Lemma

Abstract

In this short note we prove a sector counting lemma for a class of Fermi surface on the plane which are $C^2$-differentiable and strictly convex. This result generalizes the one proved in \cite{FKT} for the class of $C^{2+r}$-differentiable, $r\ge 3$, strictly convex and strongly asymmetric Fermi surfaces, and the one proved in \cite{FMRT} and \cite{BGM1}, for the class of $C^2$-differentiable, strictly convex and central symmetric Fermi surfaces. This new sector counting lemma can be used to construct interacting many-fermion models for the doped graphene, in which the Fermi surface is extended and quasi-symmetric.
