Abstract
We calculate the entropy of a two-dimensional Fermi liquid using a model with a contact interaction between fermions. We find that there are contributions to the entropy from interactions separate from those due to the collective modes. These contributions arise fron nonanalytic corrections to the real part of the self-energy which may be calculated from the leading-log dependence of the imaginary part of the self-energy through the Kramers-Kronig relation. We find no evidence of a breakdown in Fermi liquid theory in 2D and conclude that Fermi liquids in 2D are similar to 3D Fermi liquids.
