Transformation of a Fermi surface into Luttinger arcs: A novel analytical insight
I will present [1] an analytically solvable model for correlated electrons, which is able to capture the major Fermi surface modifications occurring in both hole- and electron-doped cuprates as a function of doping. The proposed Hamiltonian, which represents an extension of the Hatsugai-Kohmoto model [2], qualitatively reproduces the results of numerically demanding many-body calculations, here obtained using the dynamical vertex approximation [3] in its ladder implementation. Our analytical theory provides a transparent description of a precise mechanism, capable of driving the formation of disconnected segments along the Fermi surface (the highly debated “Fermi arcs”), as well as the opening of a pseudogap in hole and electron doping. This occurs through a specific mechanism: The electronic states on the Fermi arcs remain intact, while the Fermi surface part where the gap opens transforms into a Luttinger arc.
