Correlated electron fluids can exhibit a startling array of complex phases, among which one
of the more surprising is the electron nematic, a translationally invariant metallic phase with …

The destruction of Fermi-liquid behavior when a gapless Fermi surface is coupled to a
fluctuating gapless boson field is studied theoretically. This problem arises in a number of …

We extend the study of the Fermi surface instability of the Pomeranchuk type into systems
with orbital band structures, which are common features in transition metal oxides. Band …

The density of states of graphene has van Hove singularities that can be reached by
chemical do** and have already been explored in photoemission experiments. We show …

Motivated by the search for quantum liquid crystal phases in a gas of ultracold atoms and
molecules, we study the density-wave and nematic instabilities of dipolar fermions on the …

Quasiparticle interference (QPI) in spectroscopic imaging scanning tunneling microscopy
provides a powerful method to detect orbital band structures and orbital ordering patterns in …

I discuss the electronic liquid crystal (ELC) phases in correlated electronic systems, what
these phases are and in what context they arise. I will go over the strongest experimental …

We perform a comprehensive numerical study of d-wave Fermi surface deformations (d
FSD) on a square lattice, the so-called d-wave Pomeranchuk instability, including bilayer …

We study the presence of Pomeranchuk instabilities induced by interactions on a Fermi-
liquid description of a graphene layer. Using a recently developed generalization of the …

Motivated by recent transport and neutron-scattering experiments suggesting an
orientational symmetry breaking in underdoped cuprates we present a theoretical study of …
