Electron--electron Interactions in Disordered Metals: Keldysh Formalism

Abstract

We develop a field theory formalism for the disordered interacting electron liquid in the dynamical Keldysh formulation. This formalism is an alternative to the previously used replica technique. In addition it naturally allows for the treatment of non-equilibrium effects. Employing the gauge invariance of the theory and carefully choosing the saddle point in the $Q$-matrix manifold, we separate purely phase effects of the fluctuating potential from the ones that change quasi-particle dynamics. As a result, the cancellation of super-divergent diagrams (double logarithms in d=2) is automatically build in the formalism. As a byproduct we derive a non--perturbative expression for the single particle density of states. The remaining low-energy sigma--model describes the quantum fluctuations of the electron distribution function. Its saddle point equation appears to be the quantum kinetic equation with an appropriate collision integral along with collisionless terms. Altshuler-Aronov corrections to conductivity are shown to arise from the one-loop quantum fluctuation effects.
