Kinematics of electrons near a Van Hove singularity

Abstract

A two dimensional electronic system, where the Fermi surface is close to a Van Hove singularity, shows a variety of weak coupling instabilities, and it is a convenient model to study the interplay between antiferromagnetism and anisotropic superconductivity. We present a detailed analysis of the kinematics of the electron scattering in this model. The similitudes, and differences, between a standard Renormalization Group approach and previous work based on parquet summations of log${}^2$ divergences are analyzed, with emphasis on the underlying physical processes. General properties of the phase diagram are discussed.
