14 can the charge density be given a particle interpretation?

15 if not?

16 if not? charge stuff= particles + other stuff

17 if not? charge stuff= particles + other stuff unparticles!

21 counting particles 2 3 1

22 counting particles

23 counting particles is there a more efficient way?

24 µ

25 n = µ N(ω)dω µ

26 n = µ N(ω)dω µ IR UV

27 n = µ N(ω)dω µ IR UV can n be deduced entirely from the IR(lowenergy) scale?

28 Luttinger s `theorem

29 Each particle has an energy

30 Each particle has an energy particles energy E = ε p

31 Each particle has an energy particles energy E = ε p Green function (propagator) 1 G(E) = E ε p particle=infinity

32 Each particle has an energy particles particle count is deducible from Green function energy E = ε p Green function (propagator) 1 G(E) = E ε p particle=infinity

33 Luttinger s Theorem Green function (propagator) G(E) = G(E) 1 E ε p ε p E

34 Luttinger s Theorem Green function (propagator) G(E) = G(E) 1 E ε p E>ε p ε p E

35 Luttinger s Theorem Green function (propagator) G(E) = G(E) 1 E ε p E>ε p ε p E E<ε p

36 Luttinger s Theorem Green function (propagator) G(E) = G(E) 1 E ε p E>ε p ε p E E<ε p particle density= number of sign changes of G

37 Counting sign changes?

38 Counting sign changes? Θ(x)

39 Counting sign changes? Θ(x) = { 0 x<0

40 Counting sign changes? Θ(x) = { 0 x<0 1 x>0

41 Counting sign changes? Θ(x) = { 0 x<0 1 x>0 1/2 x =0

42 Counting sign changes? Θ(x) = { 0 x<0 1 x>0 1/2 x =0 counts sign changes

43 Counting sign changes? Θ(x) = { 0 x<0 1 x>0 1/2 x =0 counts sign changes n =2 p Θ(G(E =0, p)) Luttinger Theorem for electrons

44 How do functions change sign? E>ε p ε p E E<ε p

45 How do functions change sign? E>ε p ε p E E<ε p divergence

46

47 Is there another way?

48

49 Yes

50 zero-crossing ε p E

51 zero-crossing ε p E no divergence is necessary

52 closer look at Luttinger s theorem n =2 p Θ(G(E =0, p))

53 closer look at Luttinger s theorem n =2 p Θ(G(E =0, p)) divergences+ zeros

54 closer look at Luttinger s theorem n =2 p Θ(G(E =0, p)) divergences+ zeros how can zeros affect the particle count?

55

56 Is this famous theorem from 1960 correct?
