Vertex function of homogeneous electron gas — •Yaroslav Pavlyukh — Department of Physics and Research Center OPTIMAS, University of Kaiserslautern, P.O. Box 3049, 67653 Kaiserslautern, Germany — Institut für Physik, Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, 06120 Halle, Germany

We present a systematic study of the vertex function correction in homogeneous electron gas at metallic densities [1]. Contrary to a popular belief the vertex function not only provides corrections to the well known plasmon or particle-hole pair scatterings, but also gives rise to new physical processes such as generation of two plasmon excitations or the transformation of the initial one-particle state into a two-particles-one-hole state. Using a merger of the many-body perturbation and scattering theories, which is a distinct feature of our method, it is shown that additional scattering channels are responsible for the bandwidth reduction (as observed in photoemission experiments on bulk sodium), appearance of the secondary plasmonic satellite below the Fermi level and lead to a substantial modification of the electron spectral function.
