Abstrakt: We study the effects of spin-antisymmetric interactions on the stability of a Landau-Fermi liquid on the square lattice, using the generalized Pomeranchuk method for two-dimensional lattice systems. In particular, we analyze interactions that could induce instabilities of the so-called spin-split type, that is when spin-up and spin-down Fermi surfaces are displaced with respect to each other. The phase space is studied as a function of the strength of the interaction V, the electron chemical potential μ and an external magnetic field h. We find that such interactions produce in general an enhancement of the instability region of the Landau-Fermi liquid. More interestingly, in certain regions of the V-μ phase space, we find a reentrant behavior as a function of the magnetic field h, similar to that found in recent experiments, e.g. in URu2Si2 and Sr3Ru2O7.
