Analytical solution for the Fermi-sea energy of two-dimensional electrons in a magnetic field: lattice path-integral approach and quantum interference

Abstract

We derive an exact solution for the total kinetic energy of noninteracting spinless electrons at half-filling in two-dimensional bipartite lattices. We employ a conceptually novel approach that maps this problem exactly into a Feynman-Vdovichenko lattice walker. The problem is then reduced to the analytic study of the sum of magnetic phase factors on closed paths. We compare our results with the ones obtained through numerical calculations.
