Instabilities driven by electron-electron interactions — •Eva López Rojo, Julia Link, and Carsten Timm — TU Dresen, Germany

We develop a formalism to study the effect of strong electron-electron interactions in a Weyl semimetal. In this poster, we present the findings for the case of two doped Weyl cones with opposite chirality. For this purpose, we employ a path integral formalism to study different instabilities that could take place. Instead of the charge density wave proposed in the literature, the leading instability for strong inter-valley interactions is found to be a spin density wave, which still has the potential to host axion physics.
